We managed as a family to get on the Shrek ride one last time before it closed for good. It's so weird going to the parks now and seeing Minion walls around the place :( Since it was closing I decided to buy a shrek 4-d shirt from the gift shop. It now hangs proudly in my closet and it's a good reminder of the one attraction we would always wait in line for.

Fun Fact: During Shrek's time at Warner Bros Movie World, the Shrek walkaround character would occasionally be seen with the Austin Powers walkaround actor, especially during parades. Nowadays Shrek is at Dreamworld (no relation), WB's rival theme park that's basically down the street. They built a DreamWorks Experience over there with great theming. E.g. There's a medieval style carnival for Shrek & a small Chinese village for Kung Fu Panda with Mr. Ping's restaurant.

Thank you for making this video! As a huge Shrek fan growing up, I always wanted to experience the Shrek 4-D attraction in Universal Studios Florida. It was one of my childhood dreams, but now, it'll never happen, and it'll never come true. That childhood dream of mine has already been taken away from me, and it feels like it has been crushed into pieces. Another important piece of my childhood is already gone. Shrek has been an important part of both my childhood and my life, and he still is to this day. R.I.P (in memory of) Shrek 4-D (Universal Studios Florida) (2003 ~ 2022) Gone, but never forgotten.

The Stone Dragon even though the ride is gone, is probably to this day, the MOST scariest, and creepiest character in the Shrek Franchise in my opinion. Just imagine that you’re by yourself alone in the middle of nowhere, find yourself in a spooky grace yard, it’s midnight, and just knowing that you’re in a place where the dead are, make the situation more unsettling and makes you feel like you’re being watched. Then you come across a enormously massive statue of a dragon made of stone that is assumed to be depicted as the actual dragon female that is fighting Lord F, and right away your gut is telling you that something doesn’t feel right, then suddenly the statue comes to life to turn to face you as you’re minding your own business, then suddenly you hear something coming to life, and terrified to turn around to see that the stone Dragon has came to life, and is looking directly at you with glowing red eyes, with a smirk on its face, and it’s roars are voiced by Frank Welker and it then begins to chase you. That is something most people would absolutely find very scary to be in such situation.

I can't believe that ride is closing down after 19 years staying in the parks, shrek's journey with his 4D ride is finally retire. I used to remember watching shrek 4D on home media DVD release with Shrek 3D, but in Netflix it was called The Ghost of lord farquaad. But unfortunately nowadays due to the sudden passing of Steve Harwell The Smash Mouth singer for All Star, I don’t think The Shrek universe is not gonna be aged well but Dreamworks still has the spirit of Shrek’s cinema golden era. Thank You Shrek 4D for all the loving, memories, and even supporting the universal parks and dreamworks for over 19 years of shrek 4D. P.S on the bright side, at least Shrek's adventure london is still here nowadays. P.S.S Happy 20th anniversary Shrek 4D Shrek 4D 2003 - 2022.
