Heck, they might tear it down and put a park or restaurant, or Tangled Restrooms, inDon't get me wrong, I want a headliner attraction at the front of the park...but I just feel something quicker will be done to Shrek...I hope I'm wrong

Small thought-
Shrek into two story SLoP with a walkway over to where monster Cafe is now for the exit.
Have a nice two story restaurant/gift shop over there as well. Could be anything food-wise but also get some good views for concerts as a bar on second floor (for parties) as well as the gift shop (think Coca Cola in disney springs bar area).
Sign me up.
Not only do we get our ride we want, we’d be able to keep Hello Kitty’s store, and add a gift shop as well as a larger and more flexible dining venue to boot.
And a 2nd level bar that can watch the entrance during the day and holiday parades or concerts at night? Sign me up.
Essentially start “New York” from SLoP and continue up.
I love that idea to have a legit dark ride at the front of the parkFew months ago i rode the Shrek attraction at Dubai Motion Gate. It's a dark ride, full of anamatronics, and very good scenery.
Go youtube it. Whilst the anamotronics of it aren't world class, the themeing and scope of the attraction was rather good.
And wait for it : it would address the screen issues, especially in that bottle neck.

I would rather have a new story with animatronics. Also the ride in Dubai is too slow. I don't think anybody wants Shrek to stay at Universal, but I would not want to see that kind of ride at Universal. I dislike it when a ride is just reliving the movie. The only ride I can stand at Fantasyland is the Little Mermaid ride and that is because I like the music, but I find it to be a lazy ride. There was no creativity in the story of the ride.
I really want the SLOP ride going to Universal Hollywood to replace Shrek. It would extend the New York facade, it will have animatronics, and it will have a new story about saving pets from the shelter.
I believe they are going to revive the Shrek franchise soon ... so it's still a franchise with legs.
I don't understand what you mean by the Dubai Shrek attraction being 'too slow'. It's your standard indoor dark ride - be it Peter Pan, Haunted Mansion, Pirates Caribbean etc. Perhaps you want it to race through, which of course makes little sense.
I've been thinking a two story restaurant/store replacing the Monsters Cafe would be perfect, exactly for what you're talking about as well (extra viewing area for concerts). I do worry about people camping out on the seats waiting for the concert, but I'm sure they could make it work (maybe sell them as a premium viewing area).Small thought-

I've never had a problem with Shrek as an IP having an attraction at Universal. I'd actually be excited for a full dark ride of some sort featuring those characters.
4D's issues do not include the source material.
even the Wild West show?
Hard to say, my thought is yesDo you think Shrek 4D will be replaced before Fear Factor Live and Kidszone even the Wild West show?
Question is what could replace Shrek 4D how about James Bond?
Odd timing, considering Hollywood was already announced.

I didn't recall the timing on Hagrid. The Hollywood announcement feels so long ago.Why is it odd timing? Hagrid didn’t get trademarked until after the name was announced as well. Given the trademark contains words from another mark, I’m sure they weren’t too worried about it.
