Jaybangs!

[Skold]

The passing of Jay Stein got me thinking - what are some of the best Jaybangs in the parks?

The shark in Jaws, and turning the corner in Kongfrontation are obvious, but what do we have now?

I have a few in mind, but I'll leave just one here: when it works properly, the fake ending in Mummy is awesome. I've seen people trying to get out of the car on that one.

Great book! Love Sam's work and miss him ducking out of the industry. Here's the deffinition summarized from the book:

...rides and attractions that stunned, shocked, and surprised guests, dousing them with water, blasting them with air, heat, or cold, and giving them what the Disney parks of that time lacked: fear and visceral delight.

• Spider-man landing on your vehicle
• The Hydrosaur in JPTR/JPRA
• The final bug scene and spinning in MIB

In Spider-Man, Hobgoblin's pumpkin bomb exploding into real fire on the real set after originating on the screen remains one of the great theme park WOW! moments.
