DreamWorks Theatre is a motion simulator attraction that opened on June 15, 2018, at Universal Studios Hollywood located in the Universal City, California community of Los Angeles. The new attraction is themed around characters featured in films from DreamWorks Animation and features the use of projection mapping. It replaced the Shrek 4-D attraction, which closed on August 13, 2017.
Background
Following NBCUniversal's purchase of DreamWorks Animation for $3.8 billion in 2016, it sought to leverage its newly acquired intellectual properties.[1] On June 5, 2017, Universal Studios Hollywood announced the new DreamWorks Theatre attraction would open in 2018 based on characters featured in DreamWorks Animation films, which replaced the Shrek 4-D attraction on August 13.[2]
The attraction pre-show features a variety of DreamWorks characters, including Shrek, Donkey, Gingy, and the Magic Mirror from Shrek, as well as Poppy from Trolls, and Marty and the Penguins from Madagascar.[3][4]
The theatre uses projection mapping on the interior walls, using a total of seven Christie 4K Boxer Cinema Projectors, surround sound audio, and physical effects such as water, wind, and articulating seats.[3][5]
Kung Fu Panda: The Emperor’s Quest
The first attraction to show in the venue is Kung Fu Panda: The Emperor’s Quest, which is based on the Kung Fu Panda franchise. It takes place on the morning of the Emperor's Great Feast of Heroes, where dragon warrior Po the Panda along with Master Shifu and Mr. Ping embark on a quest to deliver the Liquid of Limitless Power to the Emperor. It includes "raging rapids, river wolf pirates, awesome magic and, obviously, Kung Fu."[3] The film was developed in collaboration with DreamWorks, and it features the original voice cast from Kung Fu Panda (except Dustin Hoffman, who is replaced by Fred Tatasciore as Shifu).[6]
The attraction opened on June 15, 2018.[4]
