Shrek 4-D
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shrek 4-D (2003) is a short film/ride at Universal Studios in Hollywood, Universal Studios Florida in Florida, Universal Studios Japan and Warner Bros. Movie World on the Gold Coast in Australia.
Participants are lead into a dungeon-like room with two giant television screens on either side. On the screen, Lord Farquaad announces that he has kidnapped the Three Little Pigs, Gingerbread man, and Pinocchio and is holding them hostage. After a brief tutorial from the ride operator, the cinema doors are opened and people take their seats.
The short film takes place right after the first Shrek film. In it, the spirit of Lord Farquaad returns from the dead to kidnap Princess Fiona. Therefore, it is up to Shrek and Donkey to rescue her.
Although the animation is 3-D, the ride is a 4-D film, which means it is designed to make viewers feel what they are watching. For example when Donkey spits, the front of the seats spray mist into viewers' face. It also has moveable seats, air jets and rubber tubing, to simulate other effects such as air, "creepy crawlies" and other movements.
The animated film produced for the ride was later released on DVD under the modified title Shrek 3-D.
