What kind of ride is JAWS considered?

I believe Kong and Earthquake are considered dark rides because they are indoors, but what is Jaws considered then? A water ride? A flat ride? I haven't been able to find a good classification for it anywhere.

I'd say a water ride with a dark ride attitude... I don't think it can be described as anything else.

"It's a totally immersive, dark/water ride experience."

Yeah, I stole from PKI. Either way, I still love the ride.

I would classify Jaws as a water ride. What would one classify Paddlewheel Excursions at CP, Jungle Cruse at MK, or those little paddle boat at varios park? Out of all of these, Jaws is the only one you get wet on.

It's a tough question.

Wouldn't it be a scenic raft ride? That's what it's classified as in RCT.

Well Jaws is enclosed during the boathouse sequence. Still, I think "themed water attraction" would fit the bill best. It's part ride, part show, all taking place at the water level.

If you ever figure out what to call Rhino Rally an hour and change down I-4 let me know. That one's even tougher to classify.
