'Shrek 4-D' Opens at Universal Orlando
An Ogre, a Princess and a Donkey Are Stars of Summer's Hottest New Attraction:
'Shrek 4-D,' a Multi-Sensory State-of-the-Art Attraction Based on The Academy
Award-Winning Blockbuster Continues the Saga of the 'Greatest Fairy Tale Never
Told' With Ground-Breaking 'OgreVision' Animation and Sensory Immersion.
Thousands of Universal Orlando guests, donning Shrek ears and green painted
faces, were on hand to celebrate the ogre-sized grand opening of the new "Shrek
4-D" attraction at Universal Studios Florida on June 16, 2003. Guests toasted
the new attraction and the newlyweds with green "champagne" while Shrek and
Fiona cut into the World's Largest Wedding Cake.
An amazing, first-of-its-kind partnership between the creative powerhouses
DreamWorks and Universal, "Shrek 4-D" is a multi-sensory, multi-media
continuation of DreamWorks Pictures' Academy Award(R)-winning blockbuster "Shrek."
Picking up where the movie left off, the attraction combines original 3-D
animation, state-of-the-art digital cinema projection and audio systems, with
unique in-theatre effects that audiences can see, hear and feel. "Shrek 4-D"
reunites the comic talents of Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz and John
Lithgow who return to give voice to the swamp-dwelling ogre, Shrek; his faithful
chatterbox companion, Donkey; his bride, Princess Fiona; and the vengeful ghost
of Lord Farquaad.
The tale begins as Shrek, Princess Fiona and Donkey, set off on their
honeymoon. But the ghost of Lord Farquaad, intent on taking his fearsome
revenge, interrupts the honeymooners' bliss. Soon, our fairy-tale heroes are
face to face with ghostly foes, and the audience is transported into the center
of a thrilling adventure packed with such fast-paced sequences as an aerial
dogfight between fire-breathing dragons and a steep plunge down a 1,000-foot
deadly waterfall.
With 12 minutes of all-new 3-D animation, "Shrek 4-D" bridges the narrative
between "Shrek," "the greatest fairy-tale never told," and the upcoming sequel
from DreamWorks Pictures. Guests use OgreVision glasses that make the screen
and theater come alive. Surprising sensory elements and spectacular visuals yet
to be seen, heard and felt in a "4-D" attraction complete the thrill.
