The theme park attraction based on Shrek that opened at Universal Studios Florida in 2003 was Shrek 4-D.
Shrek 4-D is a motion-simulator attraction that continues the story of the original Shrek film. Its plot follows Shrek, Donkey, and Fiona after the events of the movie, with Lord Farquaad returning as a ghost and attempting to capture Fiona. The experience combines a projected film with moving seats and physical effects.
The attraction opened at Universal Studios Florida on June 12, 2003. The “4-D” label refers to the added physical effects and motion beyond the on-screen 3-D presentation, such as seat movement, water, and other sensory effects.
Shrek 4-D is distinct from later Shrek-themed attractions, including Shrek’s Adventure! London. It is also separate from Shrek the Halls, the television special, despite both being franchise productions released during the same broad period.
