Shrek 4D Memorial Thread (USF)

[JungleSkip]

A villain con dark ride. Could they think of a more obscure, less marketable and out of touch ride idea? It sounds awful.

Vs SLoP which would fit New York, improve the facade, sell gear and be a solid draw.

It’s apples and oranges turds.

Shrek 4D isn’t in New York

Shrek 4D isn’t in New York

And Villain Con was in Orlando, so it fits better than any ride in the park.

And Villain Con was in Orlando, so it fits better than any ride in the park.

It was also set in 1970s. And Gru was only a little kid at the time, soooo not a good fit across from Minion Mayhem where Gru is an adult?

Sometimes I think they only put Villain Con in Orlando in the movie so they could use clips for theme park commercials one day:


I guess this could be a modern Villain-Con, but I bet we'd see young Dr. Nefario on the ride just like in the film... just to mess with my brain's ability to comprehend the mixing of time periods within two attractions.

Let’s be honest, Time descrepancies or not, it still fits better than Shrek

To be honest, what stops them from just not having a story, and just letting it be almost as if it's special transportation around the con to look at the certain randomized booths?

While true, I thought it was pretty universally accepted around here that they should expand new york out to include SLoP, Minions, and consume Monsters Cafe.

But hey, if a cheaper TSL: Minions Edition right when you walk in the park appeals to anyone, more power to them I guess.

A while back, it seemed like USF really understood its theme. The park would be based around cities. Springfield, London, SF (for F&F), NYC, Hollywood.

The entrance plaza is the only part of the park that doesn't follow this pattern at all.

The entrance is production offices, the first buildings you encounter at a movie studio. Next is sound stages. Then you get to the themed backlots that look like popular cities. It’s set up like Universal City, or any movie studio.

It’s always made sense, it’s just times they are a changing and we’ve come to expect all of our theme parks to immerse us in separately themed lands now.

Hopefully that's the case... They're saving it for the new park.

Did the old Studio Styles store in Hollywood close down? Last I checked it was turning into a SLoP gift shop.

If so, doesn't that hold at least some value for the Shrek>SLoP rumors?

Dial back the hyperbole.

Dial back the hyperbole.

Perhaps you should do the same Joe. You have become quite boorish lately, making this site less fun than it otherwise would be.

 

[Magic-Man]

I fear some of the areas of Nintendo will be so fun for the kids they won't want to stop playing.

........ no comment

I love the idea of a trackless dark ride at the front of the park tbh

I think, if they do this right, it could be a great fix for the front of the park..

I could honestly see them redoing the outside of DM: MM and the Shrek theater

to look more in line with the neighborhood from Hollywood

It's basically the Springfield formula applied to Mionion - I'm ok with that

This would also take some traffic away from DM: MM

Example:

It’s open and sells both Illumination and DreamWorks animated character items, not just SLoP. There’s Trolls, Shrek, and Minions too.

It’s just a cartoon store overall.

If Villain Con does come, what I expect to happen to the front of the park

 

[Disneyhead]

If Villain Con does come, what I expect to happen to the front of the park

Pretty much.

 

[Andysol]

Pretty much.

I'd love that- USJ's minion area is great (including the fountain you can't see in that pic). But it's impossible w/ the parade route and current traffic flow. You'd have to get rid off all that grass.

In actuality- It would look nothing like that - outside of the building facades.

I would not expect a park mind you, but I agree that's probably going to be the asthetic choice they would go on for what I'd call "Minion Avenue"
