Dreamworks Theatre with Kung Fu Panda - Coming 2018

[Freak]

Wait, wait, so this is not even going to be in 3D when it should be just because people are sick of 3D rides?

When Motiongate outdos you on immersion, that's... pretty embarrassing

Honestly, I don't expect this to be the best attraction of the year and i don't mind that it won't be as immersive as Motiongate's ride. As long as it's a better overall experience when compared to Shrek 4-D, i'll call it a success.

Well... it'll have better capacity than Shrek 4D.

And it's also not 15 years old.

Well, i mean, I hope for more improvements than just that.

Oh my god, that looks lovely.
They say not to judge a book by it's cover but when compared to Shrek 4D, this ride's cover is a million times better.

Id rather want a 180* degree projection mapped theater with seating than to have a Orlando-like DMMM ride system exposed.

While Shrek 4D has not aged well, a least it was impressive at the time it first opened. Kung Fu Panda on the other hand is going to be an out dated attraction on arrival.

Listen, i get it. Universal could have spent their time on something grander and bigger than a new 4-D Theater but at least the park is still growing.

Rides like JW:TR take a lot of time and resources to create so something that's in the middle of the pack like Dreamswork Theater keeps the park from staying stagnant in the face of Pixar Pier without breaking the bank.

With the Theater and Toy Story Land coming up, i think people need to learn to appreciate the mid-tier attractions rather than shunning them away in favor of going big or going home.

Look I don't mind the concept of the Dreamworks Theater, but the execution is decidedly less than stellar.

Yea I as at the park briefly yesterday and also got a pic of the theatre marquee at night.

I will say this, it looks A LOT better in person at night. However, during the day, it leaves something to be desired. So I really hope the landscaping for the queue is as amazing as Shrek's revamped "enchanted forest" queue was. Having Mr Ping back (hopefully across from Donkey) will definitely help elevate this new attraction. As I said, the landscaping will really make or break this area. Currently the area next to the NY facade looks "meh".

Honestly, as nice as the revamped entrance blvd looks, its kind of a snooze-fest. This new attraction exterior & A.S.S. doesn't help.

This'll look nice during HHN.

Booked my AP preview reservation for Thursday June 7th!

It'd look a lot nicer during haunt season and if it was open during HHN featuring THESE:

Don't even get me started on the many Dreamworks holiday short films they could use during Grinchmas/Potter Holidays.

 

[Ryan]

Well that'd be scarier than any house

 

[Freak]

Scared Shrekless 4D during HHN?

SIGN ME UP!!!!!!!

 

[Wesker69]

The animated shortfilms are actually pretty good & fun. Universal should take advantage.

 

[Red Carpet]

This is a weird hard to classify attraction. It is too ride like to be a show, and too show like to be a ride.
