Liked the videos and shows the better days when the ride actually worked the way it was suppose too and skippers knew to shoot in the direction of the shark not away from it

I'm not so sure they don't purposely do that. At Disneyworld, becaus eof pressure from Animal groups and such, at the Adventureland Jungle Cruise, they have to shoot totally away from the Hippos, or not shoot at all. I'm sure the people at Jaws do the same thing for the same reason. I may be wrong though.

Never thought about that and you may be right .
Thanks

Well it's in the script for the skippers to miss the shark. It's based on a film about a killer shark so it would be stupid for animal groups to pressure universal.

Some things do go wrong though like with all attractions.
