Shrek 4D Memorial Thread (USF)

Realistically, if Shrek goes, what could be a suitable replacement?

IP wise, there is enough to choose from but we're dealing with about .7 acres.

What about a sort of Dreamworks mashup ride (kind of like Nicktoon blast)?

If Universal was to quickly toss in another float this is likely what we would see.

I honestly wouldn't mind a ride like that. Jimmy Neutron's Nicktoon Blast was actually pretty fun.

I always see Jimmy Neutron getting a lot of hate but I'm with you, I really enjoyed it.

I think Universal is in a really delicate balancing act just now with what to bring into the current parks. With the 3rd gate coming and the recent acquirement of Dreamworks, I can see them building a full land at the 3rd gate which would put most of the IPs out of reach.

Would Shrek be big enough for SLOP?

I believe the Shrek site is only half the size of the site being used for SLoP at USH.

I guess it was just more wishful thinking than anything.

I would love an attraction that is themeed to an action film, even if it used the same system as Shrek, it would just be really fun to have something a bit more tense than Shrek. Maybe something themed to Everest where we attempt to climb. However since Shrek is more gentle and family oriented, maybe an action short-film wouldn't be suited as a replacement.

I'd rather want to see the footprint of the Production Central area expand to the right for a new park plaza with more footspace and a place to let parents relax (much like how Universal Plaza has done well for USH in terms of that..).

Terminator 2 3D?

Not a bad idea. It could drastically enhance the view when you first enter the park.

Anything is possible.

This is a good one. A ceramic horse of ancient China’s Han Dynasty about 1800 years ago is at Sanxingdui Museum in Sichuan province. Since the museum this image on the Web the resemblance to Donkey has been pointed out.

Damn Chinese, they keep stealing all our ideas...

Shrek 5 Being Scripted by Austin Powers Writer

Shrek 5 on the way. Should extend the length of the ride. Might even mean an update to match the new movie. OTOH, depending on the timing of the new park, a successful movie could mean a bigger presence there.

 

[GadgetGuru]

If they insist on keeping it, I hope Shrek 4D gets a new movie. It's a little insulting when you go to a theme park and the ride film is on Netflix.

 

[AlexanderMBush]

With Shrek 4-D seeming to be out of the Gutter and that SLoP is on the table as a most likely candidate for replacement, out good friend @AliciaStella while mentioning things in a new video of hers..has something interesting on SLoP. I would highly recommend taking a quick look at it, as it's rather interesting..



To also mention something, a scene in the attraction seemed to point out of rescuing the character of Norman from the film (which looks like this...).

 

[Mad Dog]

Yes, Alicia does some really good professional work.That's an excellent summation.......I've updated with new info....... SLOP is probably 'two floors', with the Restaurant in Hollywood version (probably not for Orlando), queue, AA loaded pre show, and gift shop on one floor and the nine scene family friendly dark ride with mobile AA's, multi person trackless vehicles that have action oriented movement and travel two at a time through the scenes, lot's of animal AA's in rooms & scenes with practical special effects(see UK Triggs postings on the Creature thread) , on the other,so it could easily fit on the Shrek plot.Capacity will be similar to Kong, Transformer high capacity level.... Of course, as with everything Universal produces, plans are subject to quick change. After all, that's the Universal MO.

I believe the Shrek site is only half the size of the site being used for SLoP at USH.

SLoP won't use that full site space. The two attractions should be relatively the same size.

It's not just one scene I believe it's the story for the ride. A not so little birdie may also be on hand to help.

When thinking about it yesterday, that is what clicked to me at first; as in the film, Norman was trying to get back to his home in the first place. If I had to guess, I am going to assume while in the vents, something happened to Norman; forcing him to be on a roaring trip and that Max, Duke, and all of the pet's need the help of the Guests to find Norman.

Meanwhile, from what it looks like; the Tiberius AA should be amazing.
