Jambe, you may also be interested in the following stuff ...

 

The Shark Is Still Working (2007)

- professionally made retrospective fan documentary with interviews of cast & crew (yes, Steven Spielberg etc)

- surprisingly it still has not been officially released despite rave reviews by a handful of previewers (which makes me wonder about the guy who has yet to see a single cent for his efforts ... hmm, sounds strangely familiar :) )

Your Studio And You (1995)

- a satirical 1950s-style b/w short mockup that was only meant for internal viewing at Universal, when (would you believe) they were being taken over by Liqour company Seagram

- commissioned by David Zucker and created by two unknown struggling artists named Matt Stone and Trey Parker

- boasting a ton of celebrities, starting with Steven Spielberg playing a tour guide shouting "Look Out, It's A Shark!" along the infamous Jaws Ride, though we can't tell if he or his passengers are more bored with the experience

- you can easily google info for this, however I have an extensive article by zap2it.com that I can forward to you since the online link no longer exists

 

8mm reel

This one was created by 12 year old kids (and has no sound), but includes the original daytime version of the initial attack scene

Jaws Ride

- below is a link to the "simulated tour", which is probably the best quality version of the attraction

(and look up the TSISWorking facebook link for info on its unfortunate dismantling this year)

Speaking of which, you may want to create a supplemental piece regarding this now-destroyed attraction piece.

 

Hope this helps.
