Shrek 4D is closing and Universal Studios fans found out today. Multiple outlets are reporting that the attraction in Orlando will be shuttering its doors in 2022. Universally Driven managed to get a copy of the memo to the staff members and now people from all over the country are sharing their memories of the familiar stop at the theme park. Any of these destinations changing rides around and opting for more modern attractions is hardly a new idea. But for something like Shrek, that held some real resonance among fans who came of age near the turn of the millennium. You can still see people celebrating the film and it’s sequels as recently as this year. Animation for families may have gone in some different directions, but no one can doubt the impact of a series like Shrek. You have to wonder if the announcement that made it’s way out today has anything to do with the Pokemon partnership between Universal and the video game brand that became public this week.
