How did no one say to make the shrek theatre into the Dreamworks theatre. Like literally you can sorta keep the shrek ride but revamp the whole theatre. Change the seats, give it the 180 degree screen and throw in some dreamworks characters for more synergy and boom, you get to call it a new attraction for like 1/2 the price of what Secret life of Pets would've been. Plus then everytime you replace the show with a different movie franchise, boom you can call it another NEW and AWESOME attraction at the Universal Orlando resort. Guys guys come on you gotta think like Comcast... save the money.

They have a problem with the entrance to the park that would be better served by replacing that and a couple of the other buildings at the front. If they go SloP they can change it out and blend it to New York better.

I understand the reasoning, but is SloP as popular an IP to replace Shrek all together?

I'd say the public has spoken. Mid week, yesterday and today, wait times at midday have been 75 minutes and 80 minutes respectively. People develop their perceptions from their own perspectives, age, lifestyle, personal tastes, etc. Shrek has been around for awhile, but there's always a new generation of children who get to see the movie for the first time. I'm sure those kids and their families love the ride. You may have rode it 30 times in your life, but that family standing in line in front of you may be excited for their first Shrek experience.

Wait times already are a poor metric and even more so with reduced capacity.

"Wait times are a poor metric" Right. When you're standing in line for Hagrid for 120 minutes.....

There's a reason it didn't come close to these wait times on 99% of days prior to COVID, and it's not because it suddenly got super popular during the shutdown. The inflated wait times are 100% the result of reduced capacity and efficiency. That's all there is to it.

It was still getting long posted wait times pretty regularly before COVID. And the actual wait times are still shorter than the posted ones.

I'm just curious? Are most of the posters who want to do away with Shrek locals or AP holders who go frequently to Universal?

We go once a year and we always see Shrek. It has always been crowded (as well as Minions).

I think there will always be a "new" audience for Shrek, as it is a classic, IMO. FWIW.

Is something really crowded when it’s half full? When was the last time the second theater was used?
