This honestly might be my biggest takeaway lol

Shrek seems like such an easy slam dunk for a theme park land/attraction, but they just cannot make it happen.

There is the possibility with the way Shrek is featured on the banners outside USF and on those LED display panels on the outskirts of UOR, that Universal has plans to go bigger with Shrek beyond a play set and they waiting on the reception of 5 to pull the trigger. Whether it be a simply a phase 2 dark ride for DreamWorks or a whole another section that takes over Springfield/Simpsons would be anyones guess though.

Its funny to see many complaints about themeing for the park

I'll hopefully go next year and have some fun

But yeah, I hope this works out but also just to me feels like the bare minimum. Like cool if kids like it and we use the excuse that kids don't care about theming but as someone who just got back from Texas....yeah why I liked Six Flags Over Texas was how Green it was and how much they tried to block you from the sun and this park does not at least from pictures show they are doing much to block the sun

I do hope this works out but also if we get another park, some more theming would not hurt.....I don't need E tickets but would not mind more theming on many of these flat rides or some more experiences. I'd have loved some sort of Dinosaur show inside a fake lab.

If lack of shade was the only major criticism the park was facing, I'd personally be a lot more forgiving. That critique has been leveled at pretty much every park dating back to Disneyland and the reasonable excuse is that the natural shade structures like trees will need time to grow in.

But Universal can't blame nature for a lack of theming!
