First time here, ride was cool. Seats didnt move half the time so it ruined the experience. Last few seats in row 8. Disappointed.

Basically the Shrek 3D short thats available on DVD, but with some simple augmented reality added. Fun for the kids, which is why I was amazed it was so stupidly loud. Seriously the loudest thing we did today. There are more amazing rides in the park but for kids who are Shrek fans, this is a good one, if you have earplugs.

A decent idea, which a few years ago would have been considered state of the art, but today it seems out of date.They try to make it more interesting with a back-story presentation at the beginning, but this is overly long and had little to do with the actual attraction.Inside, there is a 3D film and seats which tilt, shake and vibrate in line with what is happening in the film.The small kids in the room seemed to enjoy it, but anyone over 10 is likely to find it dull.Queues are also quite long on this attraction.

Really nice 4D movie experience ride for the family. The theatre holds hundreds of guests and they have two theaters running during the busy season to make for a short line experience. No food or drinks allowed on this ride. 3D glasses are provided for this experience.

Staff, please check the video quality of the attraction. The video was blurry for both me and my husband so the problem is most likely not in the glasses. I love the attraction, but needs quality improvement.The line was long, but it moved fast, as its like a movie theater inside with lots of seats.

Dont wait more then 20 minutes for this. It actually takes about a half hour once youre inside for the experience. Its cute for kids, but I couldve skipped this and been ok. I like the Shrek movies but this was just a bit extra for me. 4D experience was pretty cool - never had that before!

I did not like this as much as other rides.dunno why the waiting time is always higher here. (cause of kids? ). You basically just sit and watch a 3D movie for 10 or 15 minutesfirst They take people into the attraction in large groups in a room where they tell a story about Shrek and Fiona. pain part was all these 20 minutes we were standing.then they took us to a big hall with 50-70 chairs. You are in a movie theater style room with moving seats, its not like other rides with simulation. you ll get 3d glass and movie ll be starting like a typical movie theatre. like how Shrek saved his wife Fiona with help of a donkey. Chair shakes and vibrates in sync with movie, bumped up and down in your seat. thats it. my wife slept in between. lol.when dragon snizzes you get water or smells sprayed at you. The movie was funny enough to keep me engaged but it really needed a few more special effects.Overall, the experience was not that top notch especially when you have already ridden transformers Simpsons and F&F.Rating - 4/10

The line was long but could have been avoided if they got rid of the lengthy introduction in the room before you enter the main room. I will add that Sam the employee was rude and obnoxious. He yelled at me for smoking when it was really the man next to me who was smoking. The man and me had a good laugh at Sams expense. Upon leaving, Sam thought he was the center of attention with his stupid actions. Oh, well, at least his mother loves him. LOL

I like it. Its cool. Fun lead-in... good experience interacting with the show. Not my favorite... but still a must see. If youre in line... place yourself somewhere in the middle and try to end up center row, center room.

Not sure if it was the actual video or the glasses but it was impossible to view in 4D. Ruined everything. Me and three others in my party experiences same thing

Review №18

I like sitting not standing that is why I dont want to stand up for 30 mins, in that time they retold the whole story. Says 4-D even though nothing popped out (boring throughout movie) I think that it should be more like 2-D, because I only saw outlines of the characters. The chair movements were horrible, they jerked at the wrong times. Also, the sound quality was terrible all I heard was pft pft pft. Needs to be replaced.Dont go on this ride unless you are 7 years or under.

Not great at all if youre not a kid. Also like others have said where I was sitting the 3D was atrocious, could just see double and nothing popped out, made me feel sick! Just boring throughout, definitely needs to be replaced!

This is more geared towards kids. We were very disappointed with this attraction. Time to update or get something better.

Review №24

Worst thing in the park. Old motion chairs that just shake, jar, and yank you around. The image is terrible. Maybe you have to be in a specific seat to get the 3D effects. All I got were blurry, double images for the most part. Story is boring and waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long.

A good place to hide out from the sun! The show is cute and the workers are really nice. About a 40 minutes between waiting and show. The giftshop has lots of Shrek merch!

Very fun 4D show that typically has a shorter line, a great way to get out of the Florida heat on crowded park days. Features a lot of the clever humor from the movies.

Always loved this show. Gives me serious nostalgia and coming back now as an older teen I still like it and thats a difficult feat to accomplish. Overall great and a much shorter line than Minions had.

I love Shrek and all the movies, just not this ride I fell asleep halfway through because I was tired. I would also sleep right through it if I wasnt tired. Time to change this one up, Universal!

Review №40

Worst ride we went on in the park. Jerky seats and the 3D is appalling.Might have been because we were sat to the side but anything that popped out or moved looked blurry. Also shrek itself hasn’t been relevant for years. Poor and long queues

Th
Review №41

They take people in to the attraction in large groups, so you are waiting for 30 minutes in a long line and then the line gets cut in half. The ride itself, well let me just say that the most thrilling part is when something touches your leg. You are in a movie theater style room with moving seats, but some of the seats are disfunctional so they hardly move at all. With young kids it would be fine, but dont wast your time going on it by yourself.

An
Review №42

4D cinema style ride, which isnt bad, but not that good either. I wouldnt queue very long for this, but if theres no queue then give it a go, if all else fails at least your taking the weight off your feet for a few minutes!

Review №43

A moderately good attraction. It doesn’t compare well with the other attractions at the park. The 4D effects are cool, but I don’t feel it does Shrek justice

De
Review №44

I had very high hopes but were shattered once the ride started. The chairs are not comfortable and 4 D effect makes sitting in those rock hard chair makes the experience unpleasant. Random jerks and shaking which does not synchronize with the show. Luckily the wait was not bad. We were in line for 15-20 mins they express line. I would skip this ride unless you have lot of time to kill.

Wi
Review №45

The reason why I’m giving a 3 star is because this ride is good but has to much shaking. And the chairs and not comfortable at all.

Br
Review №46

Worst ride in the park. Not fun. It would have just been more relaxing without the stupid seats shaking. Its a waste of time.

One of the oldest 4D movie in Universal studios. Starts with introduction and then the movie. Good effects.

Man, it pains me to write a review like this, but this ride/event should be replaced with something more exciting. This is a waste of space at Universal.

Review №51

This ride ranks on my least favorite list when it comes to Universal rides. The show at the beginning is way too long and unnecessary, and the actual ride isnt anything new. I love Shrek but I always avoid this ride. The gift shop is packed with unique Shrek merchandise which is a positive though

Review №56

This should have been great but.... it was a bit old and the shaking seats were bordering on painful rather than an enjoyable part of the show. Only go on this if youre a die hard fan.

Review №57

Dont wait in a long line for this. Its not bad but there are better offerings at the park. No repeat value.

Review №58

Super fun except for the long, drawn out intro. They have you pack into a room with 60 other people and stand and watch the intro for 15 minuets.

Ro
Review №59

Dont bother.Wait times are bad as is the queuing system. Just when you think you are going to be seated you are packed into a room where there is a sequence involving the 3 little pigs which lasts for at least five minutes and is boring. If you have kids, unless you lift them, they will not be able to see what is going on as the room is quite tightly packed.It may have been impressive when it first opened but it is a boring 4D movie that is lazily written, predictable and contains next to no laughs.

Review №60

This is by far the WORST ride Ive EVER ridden. It was cheesy and dumb and I expected a lot more for a shrek ride. It was all about lord farquaad becoming a ghost. It was disturbing and STUPID! I gave one star because I was so happy to get off.

Super crowded in the waiting room and we had to wait forever. Then you could barely hear the beginning show because people were talking. We were expecting a ride, but it was just a movie with some special effects. Not worth the wait.

Ne
Review №65

This ride is terrible and even my girlfriends 7 year old son hated this ride. I wouldnt go on it if it didnt have a wait and the fact that we waited 45 minutes for this only makes me feel like it was a complete waste. You sit in a big theatre where the chairs move, and honestly the graphics are really bad.

This ride was good in its day, but now tries too hard to be a 4D ride. Lots of pointy things in 3D and dated lighting effects on the walls either side of the screen.

Review №81

This is not a ride. Its a movie theater with 4k experience. The seat jerks and shoots water just like a 4d movie theater. Very annoying when the seat jerks non stop. I really hope we could turn that off.
