We tried to take a look at the destruction that is taking place behind the scenes (the JAWS ride is completely gone) by going to the theaters that hosts that hideous Fear Factor LIVE! show, but this was all we were able to see:

By the way, look at the conditions these poor animals are living in. PETA should go after Universal, not SeaWorld! Hopefully they can force Universal to close this useless show:
