Someone should make a meme of that that says "Duloc - Owned By GE Enterprises".Looks like DuLoc is owned by GE now.

Except the Minion Mayhem break in theme looks like the Hogwarts queue in comparison to this Shrek break in theme hahahaha.Oh look, another break in theming in a queue at USH.
This is way, way worseOh look, another break in theming in a queue at USH.
I don't know. They seem to be going out of their way to keep this show running. I don't think they'd pump this much effort in just to turn it back into a show venue.If Shrek is closed down, I have to wonder if Universal might just scramble something in there very quickly just to help with the Potter crush in 2016. Remember: behind the screen is still a stage. If not, it could sit vacant. Who knows?
if there is one thing this park needs its definitely a DARK RIDE! anything really! and it can be a family based ride , universal has dr,suess and Nickelodeon characters to use. heck ill even take a spongebob or lorax ride. but the point is that this park needs one and it adds something new to the park.( no screens or simulator )The only reason I'd want Shrek to stay for a tad bit is to help with Potter crowds until they can think of a suitable and high quality replacement. The park will absolutely need the extra capacity...very much. I don't think they can afford to have it closed when Potter first opens.
As for a replacement, I'd really like to see a family dark ride. Doesn't have to be huge obviously, but I think a nice little dark ride could absolutely fit in Shrek's footprint if ALL the space is utilized, as well as they can add to the square footage by demolishing a few of the surrounding stores, NY street facade, etc.
True, but we're not talking the show closing tomorrow. It still is contracted for another good year to two years, and if that hallway doesn't get themed I'd start wondering. I mean, before I heard about the Merlin deal I thought there was no way in hell they would think about closing it anytime soon. I don't even think USH management would be happy about it, but the higher-ups might just enforce it. I'm not sure if they would want to renew, especially since it would most likely be a long renewal as always.I don't know. They seem to be going out of their way to keep this show running.

Thats if Maddame Tussands doesn't get something like that in Hollywood also. Then you have a problem..If it does stay, this might be a situation similar to Marvel, where Orlando will have to shut their's down due to licensing conflicts but Hollywood may be able to keep it.
My guess is both theaters are bound for demolition and the land will be used to start fresh.I'm so happy to hear about this Merlin deal. I can't stand to see Shrek any longer!
What I would LIKE to see replace Shrek: A new dark ride like Allen was talking about. Maybe they could bring the Lorax dark ride over here? Would there be enough space to expand behind Potter to do it? I don't see them doing it until at least 2020 though. For now, I think they'll just replace it with a new show. Either they'll move SES to Shrek and put a new show in Castle, of they could have a new show in Shrek. I say it will probably be the return of Beetlejuice.

And are we confirmed that they have a pending contract negotiation?
