Universal Studios Orlando Will Close ‘Jaws’ Ride (slashfilm)

Starting in 2012, your boat can, unfortunately, remain the same size.
Universal Studios Orlando has just announced that on January 2, they will
officially close one of their oldest attractions, Jaws. Over the past few
years, Universal Studios Orlando has been eclipsed by its sister parks,
Islands of Adventure and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and the owners
are doing their best to reinvigorate their original location. Since Jaws has
been part of the park since it opened in 1990, and is based on a movie that's
almost 40 years old, it's being closed to "make room for an exciting, NEW,
experience." So if you plan on getting married when Jaws pops out of the
water, you have one month to make that happen. Read more after the jump. [1]
The Baltimore Sun [2] was among the first to report this news which was also
confirmed by the Universal Facebook [3] page: Hey fans, we want you to be the
first to know… JAWS! and the Amity area will officially close on January 2 to
make room for an exciting, NEW, experience we’re planning for you. We know you
love JAWS! and we ...

The Chronic 2001 $7.19 Despite the number of guests on hand, Dr. Dre's decade-/century-/millennium-ending sequel to The Chronic is, like its predecessor, less a stack of posse cuts and more an elegantly seamless work from West Coast hip-hop's premier auteur.

Hogwarts Castle

Hogwarts Castle is a wondrous, magical building with many towers and turrets. It is home to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. A wizard architect built the castle over a thousand years ago . The school has some rooms that tend to "move around," and so do the stairs in the grand staircase. The school has numerous charms and spells on and around the castle that make it impossible for a Muggle (i.e., a non-magical person) to locate it. They can't see the school, what they can see only ruins and several warnings signs of danger.

Now you can replay important scenes from the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix movie, or even make up your own adventures. Legos are perfect for social play, and with 943 pieces included in the package, this Lego Harry Potter Hogwarts castle set provides loads of exploration and cooperative play.

Lego Hogwarts Castle

The LEGO Hogwarts Castle set is modeled so that, when constructed, it recreates the look and feel of the Order of the Phoenix film. Several unique rooms are represented here, including The greenhouse provides a place where Hermione can tend a potted mandrake, The Room of Requirement, where Harry can get just about anything he wishes (provided he walks past it three times). There's even a fireplace through which Harry could exchange messages with Sirius Black, only there are no owls included. The accessory pieces of the set are loads of fun. It includes orange flames, magic books, trophy ribbons, tiny goblets, jewels,charts and many other interesting pieces.

With more than 900 pieces, kids between 7 and 12 will likely take a few hours to put it all together into a finished playset. Fortunately, Lego includes colorful, step-by-step diagrams to build The Hogwarts Castle. And not like the other non-Lego playsets, LEGO Hogwarts Castle can be broken down and re-assembled into many different combinations.

Have you decided what Christmas gift you want to buy for your son ? Not yet ? Well, I haven't either. But I'll consider this Hogwarts Castle as one of the gifts that I might buy for Christmas gift for my sons.
