Shrek: Le Fantôme de Lord Farquaad

This ride isn't half bad. Though it tends to reuse jokes from the film, it's still got cool fx and you feel the action (when Donkey sneezes, for example, the audience is sprayed). It's not the best ride at Universal- that's of course Spider-Man. But it's fun if you can avoid the long lines.

I was really excited of seeing this, but came out a little disappointed. The animation is breathtaking (Like the waterfall) and the 3-D is pretty good, but the jokes feel strained and there are one too many 3-D cliches. I also didn't like the fact that Farquaad came back as a ghost.

But I did like the first part where your in the little torture chamber with the 3 little pigs, Pinnochio, The Gingerbread Man and the magic mirror. The rest is cheesy. But I'm sure the little kids will like it (My little sister did) so I guess that's all that matters.

Shrek 4-D is awesome! When I went to see it on my holiday in Florida I didn't know what it was. As I walked into Universal to collect my tickets, there was a TV screen showing clips for rides in the park. I saw this and thought "Wow this looks good" When I stood in line there were clips from the original Shrek movie. When you go into the castle there is a woman (maybe a man some days) there is characters from Shrek in the room with you. There is a TV screen which shows The Gingerbreadman running away and then the ghost appears on screen. Oh, but before you go in they give you special glasses (to make everything look 3-D). You seat in seats that jerk every once in a while. It is very fun and if your there check it out if your a fan of Shrek or not.

AKA The Ghost of Lord Farquaad. Shrek gets lost on the way to the honeymoon. Fiona gets kidnapped. Shrek and Donkey follow in pursuit. They end up in a cemetery where they are confronted by the Ghost of Farquaad who has plans for Fiona. It's a fun 13 minutes. It was used in the amusement parks. That's what the 4-D refers to as it becomes a ride. It's great to have the original cast doing the voice work. It's just fun.

I was in Hollywood in the summer of 2003 and I saw this when I visited Universal Theme park.This was a funny "ride" as you watched the 3-D video on the giant theatre screen the chairs moved along with the movie,like when the carriage the characters were riding in went over a bump in the road the seats shook as if you were riding in the carriage alongside the characters in the movie.and when donkey sneezed,you felt a spray of water hit your face.and in the scene where there are spiders crawling on the ground you feel something brush your leg.A real fun experience to both young and old.
