Harry Potter fans have had hard time restraining their excitement about the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter Diagon Alley theme park at Universal Studios Florida. As photos continue to emerge from the park before the opening, fans are starting to learn more about what’s waiting for them in Orlando—including some interesting Easter eggs paying homage to the park’s past.
Sneak peeks at the park reveal hidden Jaws Easter eggs scattered throughout the Diagon Alley expansion. Universal made room for the new Wizarding World by getting rid of the classic Jaws ride that was there since the park opened in 1990. Even though it’s been replaced by more magical creatures, small references to former toothy resident have been discovered.
According to Inside the Magic, Mr. Mulpepper’s Apothecary has a shark jawbone in its window display and a record store near the entrance displays and album by The Quint Trio titled “Here’s to Swimmin’ with Bow-legged Women,” which is a quote from Jaws character Quint. A telescope in Wiseacre’s Wizarding Equipment also apparently contains some old boat pieces from the ride.
Another musical tribute was found by Behind the Thrills, which discovered that the shrunken heads in Knockturn Alley sing “The Way to Go Home” from the film.
There may be even more Jaws Easter eggs to discover, but fans will have to wait until the park’s opening July 8 to find them all.
