Participants are led into a dungeon-like room with two giant television screens on either side. On the screen, Lord Farquaad announces that he has kidnapped the Three Little Pigs, Gingerbread man, and Pinocchio and is holding them hostage. He says that he will torture everybody for answers. After a brief tutorial from the ride operator, the cinema doors are opened and people take their seats.

The short film takes place right after the first Shrek film. In it, the spirit of Lord Farquaad returns from the dead to kidnap Princess Fiona. Therefore, it is up to Shrek and Donkey to rescue her.

Although the animation is 3-D, the ride is a 4-D film, which means it is designed to make viewers feel what they are watching. For example when Donkey sneezes, the front of the seats spray mist into viewers' face. It also has movable seats, air jets and rubber tubing, to simulate other effects such as air, "creepy crawlies" and other movements.

The animated film produced for the ride was later released on DVD under the modified title Shrek 3-D and included a couple of pairs of two-color 3-D glasses. The DVD included an anaglyph 3-D version along with a conventional version without 3-D effects.

Far too short to realy get more then what is, it kind of reminds me of the short add ons that they make for the video releases. It's great if you had gotten this as a freebe with one of the movies, if your going to pay for it, your paying for the equivlent of the excape from the dragon's castle part of the first movie, fun but not much on it's own.

In a nutshell, if you can get it at or next to nothing, it's worth it, just don't go out thinking it's worth the full price of a DVD.
