Future of Shrek 4-D Orlando

[JungleSkip]

Thanks for the replies. I've had a read of that article. Lets disregard the Villain Con part, do you feel there's still smoke to the fire on it closing this year, irrespective of whatever replaces it?

IMO, no. It seems like KidZone is about the only thing that might happen in the next year.

A family spinning coaster that weaves in and out of mountainsides would be fun

They are incredibly fun. :grin::grin: And not nearly as nauseating as people fear when they see the videos. The only parts of Time Traveler I don't like are the two stops when it's setting up to launch again. They don't feel as long on-ride as they seem in the videos, though, and it seems like Universal could do a lot with theming or something in those areas--I think they might be there primarily to give people a break, lol. Here's ours at SDC --

I mean, don't hold your breath. Just seems like that's more likely than Shrek

Remember when KidZone was gonna close last year? And the year before that? Fun times...lol

I mean, it was slated to close last year. Until it wasn’t

I really thought it was gonna close when behind the walls they began to cut down trees. And as the event progressed, nothing else happened.

If KidZone does close this year, I expect announcement that reassures that ET stays open. You don’t want to close KidZone and then have people complain about ET, even thought it probably will remain open.

They should close ET for refurb and reroute of the entrance before KidZone closes.

Should, at least.

Yea, even with the Nintendo plans, they didn't change the entrance, which was an interesting choice.

It would at least gotten an entrance arch thing at the end of the skinny path between Nintendo and SpongeBob store so at least you knew ET was down there though. Kinda like Rockin Roller coaster’s courtyard arch so you know to turn left at the end of Sunset Blvd.

New rumor suggests that Mr. Pings noodle shop is coming near Shrek. Possible Shrek closure incoming soon? We already have Kung Fu Panda at the Lagoon show.

Hmm. There is the Shrek meet and greet (actually attached to the Monsters Cafe building). That might be able to hold the Meet and Greet from Hollywood...

I do love the Mr. Ping puppet... but I also think Donkey is one of the best meet and greets in Orlando... Sophie's choice right there.

Sophie's Choice: great movie. Have you seen it? One of the harshest movies I have ever seen.

No. Never used that term before either. Made me curious to check it out actually. Now I really want to.

Have the Kleenex ready. It rips your heart out and plays hacky sack with it.

Kidzone has closed after HHN for the last four years...I just think of it as tradition now

It's my favorite Universal tradition. Barney will survive forever.

I don't see KidZone closing Jan.
