As someone who feels a twinge of panic at the mere thought of seaweed brushing against my leg, the concept behind ‘Jaws’ is more than a little unsettling. The film has ingrained a belief in me that if I feel something in the water, it’s probably a shark. Sure, it’s likely just a piece of seaweed, but that logic won’t stop me from freaking out every few seconds during a screening of this iconic shark flick while floating on an inner tube in open water.
At Beachside Billy’s, a water park located in Leander, Texas, this peculiar experience is actually available. While it may not be the ocean, have you ever seen the oddities lurking in lakes? No thanks, I’m out! Just imagine it: the sun setting, your toes dangling into murky water, and a menacing shark on screen that’s hungry for human flesh. Sounds like a blast, right?
Admittedly, it does look somewhat entertaining. According to a charming promotional video, scuba divers will be lurking underwater during the screening, giving viewers the occasional pinch and using red lights to heighten the suspense. Oh joy!
This event promises to deliver a heart-pounding thrill or, at the very least, a comical moment when I inevitably scream and kick a scuba diver in the shin. Taking place every weekend this summer, tickets are priced at $55, which includes a Jaws-themed inner tube and a custom pint glass. But is that small price worth the potential for a watery demise? (I know, it’s just a lake, but open water is open water; some crazy things happen, like alligators invading backyards—don’t judge me!)
While some thrill-seekers may find this adventure exhilarating, I’m definitely not one of them. I sincerely hope this doesn’t become a nationwide trend because my partner would absolutely drag me along.
