Universal Orlando Resort

This guide to Universal Orlando Resort revisits the resort's chaotic opening day, June 7, 1990, when Steven Spielberg and a celebrity lineup watched marquee rides like Kongfrontation, Earthquake and Jaws stall out live on television. It follows the fallout through that summer, as the Jaws ride shut down entirely and Universal sued the company that built its mechanics, and the years of rework before a rebuilt version reopened in 1993. A good listen while you're waiting in line nearby.
