Entertaining but watch out for the queues which can be deceptively slow. - Mark Moore

its a good ride i wish it had more effects , to were we could buckle our belts - tyler bell

A good 3D effect and it seems pretty long compared to Nicktoon Blast. A nice place to cool off but it's so close to the entry, it's usually one of your first stops. We usually hit this 2 or three times on our visit. 6/10 - Noel Blackman

A great show. It's best to arrive the park pre-opening time as Universal actually opens this ride earlier than regular park hours. - First Timer

This is an outstanding family show that everyone leaves talking about. Look out for the spiders! - jim mclaughlin

Entertaining show. - Carl Stovall

This is a very well done attraction. This show is based after the first movie and all the original voice actors return. The pre show does a good job setting up the story and features plenty of the humor that made Shrek so popular. The actual show itself is really entertaining and is a definite must see. The in theatre effects and especially the moving seats are a nice features. Shrek 4-D is a fast loading attraction and waits to get into the preshow rarely exceed 25 minutes. - Manny Barron

in true shrek style this 3d film is funny and has a great storyline to it, also has some very good effects watch out for the spiders. i wouldnt say this is a must if your coming to universal but i would watch it again and again every time i go back - Rob Chandler

A great 3-D show. The themeing of this attraction is wonderful. There are a bunch of great signs and things around to read that invoke that same humor fromt he first Shrek movie. The preshow is good as well. There are also a couple of obvious jabs at Disney in the show itslef, which are always fun. - Lindsay Murray

I find this to be a great 3D show, and the kids would definitely love it. HOWEVER, I also know that there was a grave injustice done to the Hitchcock attraction by replacing it with this. However, the newer generations will dictate what they want to see and the park will follow, unfortunitely...we lost one of the best all-time Universal attractions in 2003 as a result. They say you can see a portrait of the "Psycho" house in the gift shop upon exiting, but I'm yet to find it. - Wilfredo Alvelo

I missed the spiders as I sat in a seat right next to the spider part. But, it is always enjoyable. - Nick Dakuginow
