jon and daenerys , last seen entwined in sunday’s season finale of “game of thrones , ” are blissfully unaware of both their connection and the complications it will cause , once they realize that the obliging knee - bender jon ( or aegon , but i’m sticking with jon for now ) is the true heir to the iron throne . but for those of us with the facts , the simultaneous confirmation of both their sexual attraction and the true story of jon’s birth made theirs the most awkward in a spate of charged family reunions .

but while sunday’s very busy episode had plenty of enjoyable moments and blue fire - fueled spectacle , and effectively set up next season’s culminating clashes of the living , the dead and the old venal forces of cyclical destruction , it didn’t offer much in the way of surprise . indeed , the finale largely checked off boxes that have been broadly telegraphed throughout the season .
i imagine most of the disappointing aspects of season 7 amount to shrinking pains , products of having to condense all those subplots we’ve watched over six seasons down into one master one , while also preserving enough major characters to give ample emotional weight to next season’s final clashes .
since the movie opened in the last week of july , at least one descendant of a figure portrayed in the film has criticized the filmmakers for what he called their “shameful” casting decisions .

to break the news about the attack on the world trade center on sept . 11 , 2001 noting how he could see buildings burning from his manhattan apartment .
last week , the u . s . fish and wildlife service ( usfws ) released its “ proposed replacement of the regulations for the nonessential experimental population of red wolves in northeastern north carolina , a scientifically unsound plan that will no doubt result in the extinction of red wolves in the wild .
lu han , formerly of the boy band exo , exemplifies this phenomenon . in addition to “the founding of an army , ” mr . lu was cast in last year’s “the great wall . ”
there is a perceived notion that red wolves are a local or regional issue and that only the residents of north carolina are impacted by the results of this recovery effort . endangered species recovery , however , is a matter of pride and concern for all u . s . citizens . this is not an isolated issue for north carolina . by succumbing to political pressure , the usfws is allowing a small group of vocal landowners to dictate endangered species policy instead of adhering to proven scientific principles and practices .
as jaime rode north he saw the first snowflakes fall as winter finally , indubitably , arrived in king’s landing . this is what we’ve been moving toward for years , of course . i suspect much of the awkwardness of the abbreviated seventh season of “game of thrones” — which delivered arguably the most impressive visceral thrills and the least satisfying storytelling of the show’s run — came from having to get there in a hurry . “thrones” picked up the narrative pace considerably last year , but that was nothing compared to this season , which flew by faster than that eastwatch raven that drove viewers so crazy last week .

the cast and crew of teen wolf took the stage at the coveted hall h at comic - con to give details about the final season of the mtv series that shares the name — and nothing else , really — of the cult ’80s movie . tyler posey , dylan o’brien , dylan sprayberry , shelley hennig , cody christian , khylin rhambo , charlie carver , linden ashby , melissa ponzio along with executive producer jeff davis were all on hand to talk to fans about the final hurrah for the gang .

directed by andrew lau , a hong kong filmmaker best known for “infernal affairs , ” “the founding of an army” opens with the nanchang uprising of 1927 , the first major battle between the nationalists and the communists during the chinese civil war .
o’brien chimed in , “it’s nothing but emotional now that its over . this is my first part ever and i entered this whole new phase in my life [ with this role ] . seven years later , it’s a family and will always be a family . it makes me super emotional — and makes me shaky just talking about it . ”
as recently as two weeks ago , i hung on to the belief that daenerys and jon , despite their clear , mutual attraction , would avoid the interbreeding inclinations of their lannister rivals and remain platonic allies . perhaps bran would get to jon first and spill the facts of his birth . ( “we need to tell him , ” bran told sam on sunday , which was far too late , of course . but why should timing be a strength of a man for whom time means nothing ? )
but when it came time to find actors to play some of the communist party’s most venerated military commanders , the filmmakers behind “the founding of an army” made an unusual — some say disrespectful — casting decision : they piled on the “little fresh meat . ”

davis surprised the audience and the cast with audition footage of the actors including a very young - looking posey , ashby , o’brien , sprayberry and others . in addition , holland roden and colton haynes sent their love via video apologizing for their absence before haynes presented a clip of him and charlie carver returning to high school with a cool swagger which later cuts to a scene of them being tortured and interrogated .
“game of thrones” has always been concerned with the benefits and burdens of family . but it hit that theme particularly forcefully on sunday , as this story that is broadly about the move from murderous tribalism to more globally oriented coalition leadership arranged the risk board for its final stretch .
sean mathias’s adaptation of the 1973 horror film and a david mamet classic fall flat , but “big fish the musical” gives our critic hope .
i did have other issues with season 7 , though . if the high - octane battles , dragon scenes and other magical happenings give “game of thrones” its dazzle , it’s the recognizable human impulses , frailties and behaviors in characters we’ve come to know well that give it its emotional power . for much of this season , however , it felt as if the story was driving the characters instead of the other way around .
the good news is , you’re not actually a bastard . sure , we’ve known this for a few weeks now , since gilly confirmed that jon’s parents , rhaegar targaryen and lyanna stark — we’ve known that for even longer — were married when she had him . but legitimacy will no doubt be some sort of relief to a man whose fine features have borne the strain of second - class status from the beginning of this story .
beyond reducing the red wolf recovery area by nearly 90 % and limiting the wild population to just 10 - 15 wolves , usfws , the very agency charged by federal law with protecting endangered species , will allow people to kill red wolves who stray beyond the newly - designated recovery area – and without any repercussions .
reviews of the movie , the third in a trilogy of government - backed films about chinese history , were better than expected , given the film’s propagandism . in a review for the hollywood reporter , clarence tsui described it as “a genre - fueled spectacle with scintillating action scenes and self - sacrificing heroes aplenty . ”
most captivating was cersei and tyrion , partly because lena headey and peter dinklage are great together and haven’t shared the screen since season 4 , but mostly because the scene was a terrific stew of manipulation and raw emotion . even as cersei was clearly using tyrion as part of her plot , her resentment was authentic . and because , as with jaime , the pregnancy served as a valuable prop with tyrion — convincing him that she truly is invested in the future , and thus on board with the truce — the mystery of whether it is or isn’t legitimate persists . and in a season full of uncharacteristically dense moves , tyrion again was played for a fool .
but was it also something more ? we keep hearing about how dany can’t have babies , to the point that she now seems pretty guaranteed to have a baby . it seems likely that we saw the beginning of that arc on sunday , especially since their interlude was intercut with scenes of the baby aegon targaryen coming into the world .

i don’t get as worked up about logistical implausibilities like the raven or how long it takes to fly a dragon north of the wall . ( the incest is my raven , i guess . ) time has always been fungible and intentionally vague on “game of thrones , ” presumably because it’s really hard to maintain roughly 47 subplots and have them intersect when and where they need to . i’m willing to give the show latitude in the details in order to let it tell its story , though i understand why these kinds of logic - stretching moments are distracting to some viewers .
• i wondered last week what zombie viserion would shoot out of its mouth . turns out the answer is blue fire , i guess . it did the trick , at any rate , blowing a gap in the wall wide enough for the dead army to stagger through . if their previous rate of travel is any indication , they should make it to civilization three winters from now .

littlefinger was fun while he lasted , but his time had come . so , too , had it become time for arya and sansa to get past differences that at times this season felt forced in the name of drumming up conflict .
on june 28 , the u . s . fish and wildlife service ( usfws ) announced a proposal that will no doubt result in the extinction of red wolves in the wild . today , fewer than 30 wolves remain in the wild .
a common theory hangs all of this on that fact that “game of thrones” eclipsed george r . r . martin’s books , resulting in plotting that has become more conventional and less nuanced . there may be something to this , but it’s also worth remembering that the creators david benioff and d . b . weiss are the same people who took an enormous saga and masterfully streamlined and arranged it into a still - complex but captivating story that has become the most obsessively tracked pop culture franchise in the world .
“they may not know what it was like for our forebears to use their own flesh to carry the destiny of our country and our people , ” the commentator wrote , “but at least they are making an effort to draw closer to our elders . ”
why , for example , has the formerly shrewd and insightful tyrion become a dunderhead since he joined up with daenerys ? because the story needed her to face challenges and overcome them , generally with triumphant dragon attacks . perhaps tyrion’s strategic gaffes are part of his own humbling arc as he evolves from a cynic into a true believer , a phase he will overcome later as a powerful force in the war . but his constant underestimating this season of cersei , the person he knows better than perhaps anyone , rings false .

more hopefully , we had various stark components making up , including the de facto brothers jon and theon and the actual sisters sansa and arya , who finally , after weeks of antagonism , united to condemn and kill littlefinger . ( nothing brings families together like bloodshed . )

the dragonpit summit was a fitting conclusion to a season distinguished by far - flung characters coming together , offering a buffet of enjoyable reunions . i loved podrick’s enduring loyalty to tyrion , and the hound and brienne’s almost paternal pride over arya . brienne , as always , connected jaime to his better self .
had the confrontation not ended with arya slicing open his neck , littlefinger might have enjoyed the cunning poetry of it : a master manipulator outmaneuvered by a pupil he’d victimized , killed by the very dagger he’d used in past plots against her family . ( aidan gillen portrayed lord baelish’s final disintegration with pathetic aplomb . )

thanks for the memories ,
which mentioned nearly everyone on the show , except imus .
• what did you think ? are you cool with jonerys ? will jon ever learn how to lie every now and then , just a bit ? what did you think of season 7 as a whole ? please share your thoughts in the comments and , as always , many thanks for reading and weighing in over the past seven weeks .
we’ll come back to cersei , but first let’s return to the targaryen tryst . last week beric dondarrion suggested that the cost of resurrection is sacrifice , telling jon that “you and i won’t find much joy while we’re here . ” well , that at least looked like joy jon was experiencing in that ship’s cabin on sunday . ( they’re into boats , those two . )
• tormund is brave , but he’s not stupid . “run ! ” he shouted once he saw the full , dragon - assisted scale of the white walker force . for the record , i don’t think he died in that wall collapse . the show wouldn’t have brought him back from the brink in the wight fight just to kill him off in vague fashion a week later .
speaking of throats in jeopardy , up north littlefinger learned that while chaos may be a ladder , it’s trickier to climb than it looks and sometimes ends with you choking on your own blood . after taking one last meeting with her would - be svengali , sansa showed how much she’d learned by luring him into a fatal setup , outlining his many offenses against the starks as he groveled for mercy .
i guess things could go that way eventually , but that’s not where they sit now , which i admit feels kind of gross . i know such tendencies are well established in westeros and in the targaryen family , specifically ( and in real - life royal dynasties from centuries past ) . but as a story that began with crimes committed to conceal incest nears its conclusion , are we now really supposed to be rooting for incest ?
while cersei’s double - cross was expected , it did produce a surprise in jaime’s departure . ms . headey has talked about how cersei resents jaime for the easier life he led as a son of privilege , and that dynamic was apparent in their final fight . while you were off hunting and having fun i was learning from father about gold and ruling , she said spitefully . but when he left , her expression conveyed her alarm .
the narrative information has been rushed in some ways and frustratingly restricted in others . some weeks have brought so many revelations — cersei’s pregnant ! jon’s not a bastard ! here’s gendry ! — they overshadow one another . meanwhile three - eyed bran can see anything , anytime , apparently , but only does so when someone like sam goes , well , why don’t you give it a shot ? ( i get it : bran isn’t driven by revenge or other human desires to know things anymore , but he still seems to function as a tool of convenience . ) the show has also been more reliant on gimmickry like hackneyed fake - outs , like all the pretend near - deaths this season ( jaime , jorah , tormund ) .

the terror suspect told police he planted the deadly pipe bombs because he was following orders from “terrorist leaders… to attack non - believers where they live . ”
investigators believe rahami planted two bombs in chelsea , manhattan , but one failed to detonate .
“he’s been travelling backwards and forwards between afghanistan and is rumoured to have spent a year there .
he went on to question whether a man acting on his own would use sophisticated bombs , like those used by rahami .
mr videcette added : “to travel to afghanistan and learn to make bombs , which you can set off using mobile telephones - he’s learnt to do that somewhere .
“i think as time goes on and the investigation progresses i think he will have been on a radar and there will be other people involved . ”
rahami reportedly attended jihadi training camps in pakistan along with his brother on numerous occasions , allegedly becoming radicalised by islamist extremists .
the 28 - year - old’s brother mohammad and sister , aziza , have also posted pro - isis material on facebook supported the terror group and renouncing democracy .
their mother’s whereabouts are also unknown after she apparently travelled to turkey just three days before the bomb attacks , prompting claims she knew about the bombings before hand .

dany and jon became a thing — check . jon’s parentage was confirmed , along with his status as the heir to the throne — check . littlefinger was punished for his crimes as the starks reconciled — check . the night king used zombie viserion to breach the wall — check . cersei made her own plan rather than join forces with her enemies — check .
back in king’s landing , not even cersei seems to be into it anymore , having finally driven jaime away with her wily plotting with euron to bring in the golden company to help her capitalize on team targaryen’s white walker detour .
her feint and betrayal confirmed that jon and tyrion’s wight - demo plan was as ineffective as most viewers predicted . ( also , yes , dany , viserion died for no reason as far as you’re concerned . )
in fact , it gave cersei an advantage , at least for now , in the conflict to come . the meeting offered her a good look at her rival forces — where’s the other dragon ? she wondered — and allowed her to fool them into thinking they had her support .
jaime headed north , leaving an incest - size hole in the story for dany and jon to fill a few scenes later . but as i said a few weeks ago , at this point i won’t believe he’s truly turned on his sister until he has his hands around her throat .

known in chinese as xiao xian rou , “little fresh meat” refers to chinese teenage idols and boy band members , famous mostly for their manicured good looks and sculpted physiques .
since its debut , the film has taken in just over $ 51 million . that success probably has much to do with china’s annual summer ban on hollywood movies .
“who is this effeminate boy who can hardly stand up straight playing my grandfather ? ” mr . ye added , referring to oho ou , the 24 - year - old actor and singer who plays the army officer . “who are you trying to humiliate ? ”
mr . ye’s grandfather was a nationalist turned communist general who helped lead the northern expedition , the battles that unified china in the 1920s .
chinese producers have taken to regularly casting xiao xian rou ( pronounced shao - shin - ro ) as a strategy for attracting young moviegoers .
the movie was directed by andrew lau , a hong kong filmmaker best known for “infernal affairs . ”
since its premiere less than two weeks ago , the film has taken in just $ 51 . 8 million , according to data from urltoken , a website that tracks chinese box office revenues .
“even though the little fresh meats in the movie still have delicate skin , their military stances are tall and straight , ” a commentator named yu xiaodong wrote in the beijing morning post .
before the cast stepped out to the stage , the panel started with a video from tyler hoechlin apologizing for his absence before introducing a clip that showed derek’s return to beacon hills . with his glowing blue eyes , the brooding supernatural hunk wasted no time in beating down werewolf hunters before boosting a sweet mustang and driving off into the sunset .
marking the 8th and final visit to the international fanboy / fangirl event , it was a sentimental panel for the cast . davis talked about how it’s not often that a show with a loyal cult following goes to 100 episodes . he recalled the 100th and final episode , which airs september 24 , when they had a cake to celebrate only to turn to posey and have him cut the cake because he was the only actor that had appeared in all 100 episodes . after telling the story , davis admits , “it’s my goal to make tyler cry during this panel . ” posey turned to him and said , “you did , a * * hole . ”
the fbi has been under a microscope in recent months , with director james comey’s decision on hillary clinton’s email scandal late in the election cycle and especially this week’s hearing before the house intelligence committee . on monday , comey confirmed that the bureau is investigating trump campaign’s contacts with russia and also said the fbi has “no information” to support trump’s charge that president obama wiretapped him .

shrek 4 - d is a 4 - d ride based on the shrek films . it puts you in theater seats that simulate the motion of a shrek story that unfolds on the huge screen in front of you . the ride story takes place between shrek and shrek 2 and features some of the best known characters from the shrek films , including shrek , donkey , princess fiona , and lord farquaad . each character is voiced by the original film star .
shrek 4 - d , also known as shrek ' s 4 - d adventure , is a three d movie with in - theater special effects that can be found at the universal studios parks in florida , japan , and singapore . at one point , it was also at universal studios hollywood , warner bros . movie world and movie park germany , but has since been closed at those three locations .
shrek 4 - d officially opened in universal studios florida in june of 2003 . it replaced alfred hitchcock : the art of making movies , a 3 - d film / show that opened with the park in 1990 and closed in january 2003 .
los angeles — there are no new “shrek” movies . “shrek : the musical” closed on broadway . “shrek 4 - d” at universal studios florida now plays second fiddle to a newer animation - based attraction : “despicable me minion mayhem . ”
shrek 4 - d opened in 2003 , replacing the rugrats magic adventure 3 - d attraction , and has several clones located in universal parks around the world – including universal orlando . as of now , this closure is set for hollywood’s version only .
thelonious is my favorite shrek character . i ' m glad he made it into the 4 - d show . shrek is a franchise that has some untapped potential , and fits universals more sarcastic overtone well .
channeling the popular and funny films , shrek 4 - d is a romp into the fairy - tale tweaking kingdom of duloc and its quipster inhabitants . using every 3 - d and
4 - d
trick in the book ( and then some with innovative new features ) , the attraction is a total hoot . with its lovable characters and rapid - fire jokes , you’ll be screaming with laughter .
guests must remain in a standard wheelchair or transfer to a standard wheelchair to experience shrek 4 - d . closed captioning and assistive listening are available with devices obtained from guest services .
four dimensions of thrills add up to one amazing experience in shrek 4 - d . shrek and donkey are at it again in this thrilling adventure . this is a 4 - d movie presented in theatre - style seating . an animation that puts you in the action with stunning 3 - d , plus an extra dimension , featuring ground breaking
ogrevision
animation and sensory immersion . you will feel the action from your own seat .
initially reported by park journey on twitter , the 4 - d attraction based on the hit dreamworks franchise will be closing after a 14 - year run .
the 3 - d experience is enhanced by moving seats as well as 4 - d effects like mist , wind , and other special effects . the ride exits into shrek ' s ye olde souvenir shoppe , which sells shrek themed apparel , plush toys , novelty items , and other souvenirs .
perfectly synchronized water spritzes , bursts of air , and other enhancements draw guests into the remarkable 3 - d landscapes . shrek 4 - d takes it a step beyond with seats that move both horizontally and vertically . it’s not a motion simulator attraction per se , like back to the future or disney’s star tours , but the seats do incorporate a surprising amount of motion , and shrek 4 - d straddles the line between a theatrical presentation and a ride .
he said he ' d be back : see the terminator at universal studios .
don’t miss the award - winning king kong 360 3 - d created by peter jackson – the world’s largest 3 - d experience , only on the universal studios hollywood studio tour .

it ' s not the only reference to disney in shrek 4 - d , which opens with a frog trying to eat tinkerbell and ends with the poor little disney fairy smashed into the theater wall . the original
shrek
ridiculed the shallowness of disney ' s animated fairy tales and the sterility of its theme parks . shrek 4 - d doesn ' t directly attack disney ' s parks , but it does land its punch by being far more entertaining than anything a disney park has opened in years .
if you like what you see . get in touch we ' d love to hear from you .
as noted by brian , there are 4 feature length shrek films plus puss and boots along with the ride film ( chronologically between the original and shrek 2 ) , and christmas and halloween tv specials .

about universal orlando resort universal orlando resort is a completely separate destination featuring two theme parks , three magnificently themed on - site hotels and a nighttime entertainment complex . guests can soar above hogwarts with harry potter , swing above the streets with spider - man , battle aliens alongside agent j , and help shrek save princess fiona in shrek 4 - d .
shrek isn ' t really a ride , not enough movement to classify as a motion simulator . it is a 4 - d theater show , 3 - d film with silly little special effects . they were a neat thing for a while but are just outdated . with dm you have an actual simulator ( though not a great one ) , t2 is also no ride but the interactions between 3 - d film and live actors is pretty cool and unique . with that said , i still think t2 should be on the chopping block after shrek . then there is transformers right behind shrek that is a full blown 3 - d ride that mixes simulation and dark ride . i get that it is family friendly , but so is despicable me . i think they can find better use for the land shrek takes up .
this chart shows you roughly how long you ' ll wait for shrek 4 - d when you visit on a day with a given universal studios florida crowd level . the blue bars represent the average
peak
wait time ( that is , how long the line will be at its busiest ) . the bottom and top black lines represent the range of peak wait times to expect ( for you fellow nerds out there : it ' s the 5th percentile and 95th percentile of peak wait times ) . please note that these are estimates , and for a better forecast for your travel dates , see shrek 4 - d wait times .
since its inception as a theme park attraction , the film was released onto dvd as shrek 3 - d , and has even been released in 2 - d when it was shown on nickelodeon in 2007 under the title shrek ' s never before seen adventure , and has since been made available on netflix and online , now titled , the ghost of lord farquaad .
technicalities aside , shrek 4 - d is a mixed bag . it’s frantic , laugh - out - loud funny , and iconoclastic . concerning the last , the film takes a good poke at disney , with pinocchio , the three little pigs , and tinker bell ( among others ) all sucked into the mayhem . but the video quality is dated by today’s ultra - hd standards , the storyline is incoherently disconnected from the preshow , and the franchise’s relevance has faded since the lackluster fourth film . on the upside , in contrast to disney’s it’s tough to be a bug ! , shrek 4 - d doesn’t generally freak out kids under age 7 .
the theme park today looks very different from santiago’s previous visit . despicable me minion mayhem joins such “veteran” attractions as shrek 4 - d , and waterworld . the park has expanded rapidly in the past five years as part of a plan that president and coo of universal studios hollywood , larry kurzweil , calls an “epic transformation . ”
universal claims it can move about 2 , 400 guests per hour through shrek 4 - d , but the show’s location at the front of the park and directly across from despicable me minion mayhem translates to heavy traffic in the morning . if you see lines longer than 20 minutes , try visiting during mealtimes or in the last 2 hours the park is open . there’s not much in the film or preshow to scare small children . stationary seating is available upon request . be aware that shrek 4 - d shuts down one of its two theaters in the fall to hold a haunted house for halloween horror nights , greatly increasing wait times during an otherwise slow season .
the shrek sensibility fits the universal attraction mold : loud , wild , and in - your - face . where disney excels at establishing or rekindling warm , fuzzy childhood memories , universal is the rebellious adolescent that wants to blow everything up . for all of the theme park conventions it blows up , however , shrek 4 - d doesn ' t stray too far from the tried and true .
the same folks that created the enormously popular shrek movies , dreamworks and voice actors , mike myers , eddie murphy , cameron diaz , and john lithgow , lent their talents to universal studios ' winning attraction . the eye - popping computer animation and laugh - a - minute style translates well to the
4 - d
theater experience .

with regards to a bug ' s life , it should be worth noting that as a 4 - d movie , it ' s tough to be a bug could have been easily swapped if the movie didn ' t work out . a dark ride would take more time to reconfigure .
if you ' re a fan of the shrek movies , you ' ll like shrek 4 - d . the attraction incorporates much of the same action and humor . however , if you ' re a really big shrek fan , there ' s a good chance that you have seen the ride movie already , which has been released in multiple forms in years past ( on dvd with the first shrek film , on netflix where it is billed as the ghost of lord farquaad , and as a dvd sampler in kellogg ' s cereal boxes - just to name a few ) . of course , you do get the benefit of the seats , which move up , down , and around in sync with the movie action , and the 4 - d special effects , which definitely can ' t be obtained from a cereal box .

guests then move into the main theater , don their 3 - d glasses , and recline in seats equipped with “tactile transducers” and “pneumatic air propulsion and water spray nodules capable of both vertical and horizontal motion . ” in english , that means the seats move , bump and vibrate along with the action , like the d - box seats now found in local cinemas . the film ' s 3 - d effects aren ' t bad , and the 3 - d glasses you ' ll wear do a good job even if you ' re putting them over prescription glasses , but it relies on older polarized 3 - d projection instead of the newer dichroic system used by despicable me . as far as the phrase
4 - d
goes , physicists may object that the earth ' s fourth dimension is time , but as far as theme parks go , the fourth dimension is water . expect to get a mild spritz or three during the show . guests are also subjected leg licklers and smells relevant to the on - screen action ( oh boy ) .
as part of the famed universal studios hollywood studio tour , king kong 360 3 - d created by peter jackson is the largest , most intense 3d experience on the planet . king kong 360 3 - d combines thrilling visceral effects with the world ' s largest surround digital projection system to create a next - generation theme park experience .
anywho . . . shrek has promise as a fully realized land at universal . i think they could add to what theyve done at singapore , but i don ' t know where they ' d put the new area . third gate ?
an indoor 3 - d film with moving theater seating set in between the franchises first two films , shrek 4 - d follows the adventures of shrek , donkey and dragon as they attempt to rescue fiona after she ' s kidnapped by lord farquaad . the pre - show holding area is themed as lord farquaad ' s dungeon and has the three little pigs and the gingerbread man warning riders about the pains and tortures in store for everyone , until the diminutive despot appears to monologue about his evil plan to reclaim his lost bride . the plan is post - humous since lord farquaad ostensibly died in the movie , and it’s his ghost making the plans , but never mind .
sea - bands : because most of the rides at universal studios hollywood , even the movie studio tour , are 4 - d attractions , they have quick jerky movements . our family loves sea - bands , wristbands with acupressure points , to fight off motion sickness , although if your child would be bothered by the tight band around his wrist you might consider motion sickness medications .

interesting to note that pets took the record for opening weekend for an original ip ( meaning no prior source material . ) i ' d say we ' re looking at the next despicable me franchise .
well , shrek 4 - d has been around for over 13 years without any substantial changes . disney ' s best
classic
attractions are not based on any films , and i ' d argue that aside from peter pan , none of the film based attractions have been around for
decades
. snow white ' s scary adventures at disneyland is probably the only exception , but line lengths would suggest its popularity waned long ago . even with the snow white films over the past few years - snow white and the huntsman , mirror mirror , and winter ' s war ( none from disney i ' ll note ) , there as now been any increase in interest in the aging attraction .
two sentence insider summary based on the classic shrek films , this attraction takes place between shrek 1 and shrek 2 ( call it shrek 1 . 5 ) . it is a standard 3d movie experience with 4d “in the theater” special effects , similar to disney’s the little mermaid show at hollywood studios or mickey’s philharmagic at magic kingdom .
the ride begins with a short preshow that reminds everyone about the plot of the first shrek movie . guests are then hustled into a theater , where they don their 3 - d glasses . the premise of the ride film is simple : lord farquaad , back in ghost form , has kidnapped princess fiona , and it ' s up to shrek and donkey to save her .
given the age of the franchise , i somewhat question whether shrek would be popular if there aren ' t more films in development . according to recent rumors , shrek 4 - d is closing at ush in the next couple years ( not sure about the florida installation ) and there are no future shrek attractions under development . therefore , assuming it would be at least 5 years before a new shrek attraction would open , i just don ' t see it being a lucrative option . universal is probably better off focusing on dreamworks attractions based on madagascar , kung fu panda , and how to train your dragon at this time . all that said , if there are more shrek feature films in development , a shrek land would be an excellent choice for inclusion in a 3rd florida park or 2nd california park . it ' s just one of those properties that really doesn ' t connect well if you don ' t know the source material .
the shrek meet and greet had a beautiful upgrade just last year and looks wonderful .
shrek ( regally known as sir shrek ) is the titular protagonist of the shrek franchise . he is fiona ' s husband , donkey and puss ' best friend , the ogre triplets ' father , and the son in law of queen lillian and king harold .
shrek appears in mega challenge as an opponent in challenges 30 , 32 and 35 and in tournaments 2 , 6 , 9 , 13 , 14 , 20 , 22 , 23 , 24 and 27 . he is required to be used in challenges 4 , 6 , 7 , 23 and bonus 1 , 5 and 7 .
join gru , his daughters and the mischievous minions on a heartwarming and thrilling 3 - d ride . start your journey in gru’s home , where you’re recruited for his latest scheme – one where you’ll become an actual minion .
one day in the forest , a talking donkey enters shrek ' s territory pursued by a group of knights . the head knight orders shrek to be arrested , but shrek effortlessly scares them off and saves donkey . a grateful donkey thanks shrek repeatedly ( to the latter ' s irritation ) and convinces him to spend the night outside of shrek ' s house . however , more fairy tale creatures soon arrive and begin to overcrowd his swamp . shrek demands to know why they have come and learns that lord farquaad has dumped them all there . outraged , shrek takes donkey and goes to his castle to demand his swamp back .
what you wish you knew before you experienced it a little bit about the shrek movies .
the closing of shrek 4d – a 42 - year history of past and . . .
in shrek 4 - d , farquaad returns as a ghost and has thelonious kidnap fiona so he can kill her , make her his ghost queen ( despite rejecting fiona in her ogress form ) , and make him king of the underworld . he also sends a stone dragon from the graveyard to kill both shrek and donkey , but dragon comes to their rescue . during a chase scene ( reminiscent of the death star scene in star wars ) , the stone dragon loses its wings and falls to a presumed death . after dragon saves shrek , fiona , donkey , and thelonius from falling to their deaths over a waterfall , she destroys farquaad by breathing fire at him , reducing him to several miniature farquaad heads , which vanish for good .
shrek also appeared in shrek smash and crash racing as one of the four racers that are unlocked from the start . he rides a swamp beast that donkey created by using the fairy godmother ' s wand on a snail . shrek ' s personal item is a wooden club .
with tourism falling , universal needed a franchise that would resonate with locals . with shrek picking up steam , universal opened shrek 4d in 2003 as a low cost renovation to the theater .
this is definitely a fund ride that most people will enjoy especially if you ' re a fan of shrek . it may be bit scary for very young children ( as with most rides ) but it is a goofy , funny , good time . i ' d say nothing over a thirty minute wait is worth it though .
in far far away idol , shrek sings

i have a dragon here and i ' m not afraid to use it
. this restores peace , since everyone present is glad to be rid of farquaad , as well as being frightened of a dragon who simply smashed the glass window and completely destroyed it ( dragon vandalized the place by smashing the windows ) . he is later seen again in her stomach , but the events of shrek 4 - d confirm his inevitable death by digestion .

last summer i went with a couple who had never been to universal before . shrek was their favorite atraction in the park .
yes , shrek is literally surrounded by 3d attractions that most would consider better than shrek . however , not everyone can withstand or enjoy the intensity ( yes , there are people out there who consider despicable me and terminator intense ) of those other attractions .
shrek 4 - d is a newly opened ride at universal studio ' s in orlando florida and i believe also universal hollywood . you are taken into a room prior to entering the movie theatre and are given a brief overview of what happened in shrek , the original movie . the attendant in the room continually threatens your with a flogging . this is fun the first time you see it , but by the third time , it is pretty tedious . i do not normally like 3d , the effect makes me feel sick and i tend to have to keep taking my 3d glasses on and off , yet i eventually managed to sit through the whole of this ride with my glasses on . so where does 4d come into it ? this is where you get squirted with water when donkey sneezes , your chair moves in time with the action and you get to feel lovely ` spiders ' running under your legs . shrek is an excellent ride , worthy of several attempts , regardless of age . however my favourite universal ride is still mib !

i ' m not with dopey .
next are two attraction posters that look nearly identical to the disneyland versions ( edited for theming , of course ) : donk - o ( flying donkey - spoof off dumbo ) and the enchanted tick room . tinkerbell is a real victim . in the queue , there are several hollywood - style footprints / signing . shrek , donkey , etc . are featuerd with feet and signature . however , a very pathetic and disoriented version of tinkerbell ' s body fills the concrete . tink is later ( in the show ) , nearly eaten by a frog ( being stuck to its tongue ) after doing a ' disneyland ' style introduction , splatted on to a map , and thrown across the theater , crashing into a light . kinda disturbing for the kids , i think ! : lol :

in a parody of dating shows , the mirror introduced three different princesses for lord farquaad to choose from : cinderella , snow white , and princess fiona . at thelonius ' suggestion , farquaad chooses princess fiona , who is locked away in a castle guarded by a ferocious dragon . despite the mirror ' s attempt to warn him about what happens at sunset , lord farquaad decides to plan a tournament to see which knight would be worthy enough to embark on a quest to retrieve fiona . however , shrek , who had traveled from his swamp to duloc accompanied by donkey to ask farquaad to move the fairytale creatures off his swamp , interrupts the tournament . farquaad then changed the tournament , as the knight that ends up killing shrek will be named champion . however , despite the knights ' best efforts , they were all defeated with relative ease by both shrek and donkey . faarquad ' s archers take aim at shrek , but faarquad , seizing a golden opportunity , declares shrek the champion of the tournament and gives a proposition to shrek : if shrek successfully completes the quest to rescue fiona , faarquad will restore shrek ' s swamp back to normal , before the fairytale creatures took refuge .
i ' m an ap but the show type attractions still draw me , i just think shrek is the worst one remaining . especially when it is completely surrounded by better 3 - d attractions . but i do agree that the shrek ip is something universal isn ' t going to just get rid of , it ' s still somewhat popular and i still see shrek ' s face associated with usf a lot . hell , my 2013 pass holder had shrek and donkey on it . i just think from my standpoint , the attraction is outdated and outclassed by multiple attractions within feet of it at it ' s own park . but i can understand that tourists may enjoy it and it still serves a purpose as a people eater . i just hope by the time universal ' s big spending / building spree is over this will have been replaced with something unique . i still don ' t see this legoland thing having an effect on the usf attraction though .
