Project 722 + Internet Research = JAWS Replacement
It's like a puzzle!

On December 19th, 2011, Universal Orlando filed a new demolition permit (DEM2011-00109) with the City of Orlando. The permit's description reads: "Project 722 - demolition of single attraction with several components". This permit is very likely for the demolition of the Jaws ride, which was recently announced to be closing on January 2nd, 2012. Now, what's Project 722, you ask? A quick google search for "Project 722" +Universal and "Project 722" "Harry Potter" reveals several LinkedIn profiles listing "Project 722" as their current project, and they all have one very interesting thing in common:

As you can see, all four of these people have worked on at least one of the Harry Potter films, and one of them even worked on "Project Strongarm", which was the code name for The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Islands of Adventure. It would only seem logical, given the people involved and their previous work, that project 722 is also Harry Potter related.
So, with the above evidence, and assuming Universal doesn't plan on announcing the closure and removal of another one of their attractions before year's end, I think it's a pretty safe bet that Project 722 = Harry Potter expansion = the Jaws replacement. Now let the speculation begin on what 722 stands for! My guess? The number 722 could be a reference to the high security vaults in Gringotts Bank (all vaults 700+ were high security, were they not?)

UPDATE: JAWS TO CLOSE JANUARY 2, 2012
By now you have probably heard the sad news floating around. JAWS will be closing at Universal Studios Orlando. Details are still hard to find at the moment but the real question is: How will this impact HHN? For those who are familiar with the event, the JAWS extended queue has been home to many HHN haunted houses.
