Shrek 4-D is the latest attraction to use the kind of stunning 3-D effects that made Spiderman (Islands of Adventure) such a huge hit (the fourth 'D', by the way refers to some of the off-screen effects you experience during the show).
While there are any number of 3-D type attractions around Orlando, this one stands out for its outstanding theme, creative story line and consistency with the original films (Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz and Eddie Murphy reprise their roles for this attraction).
Shrek 4D is a great example of Universal Studios at its very best. Add this to your “Don’t Miss” list Also, be sure to hit the Shrek/Donkey (err…Noble Steed) character “meet and greet” right across the street. The voice acting done by “Donkey” is outstanding. DIS Discussions about Shrek 4D

Height requirement: 40 inches or sit in the stationary seats
Replacing The Funtastic World of Hanna Barbera is Jimmy Neutron’s Nicktoon Blast. In this wild mix of virtual reality and simulator, you join Jimmy Neutron, his buddy Carl, and an assortment of Nickelodeon characters (including SpongeBob SquarePants, The Wild Thornberry's, Rugrats and the Fairly OddParents.)
You help Jimmy save the world after an evil genius steals his rocket and tries to destroy the earth. Especially enjoyable is the 'virtual chicken dance' that riders are treated to during the show. The ride exits into an interactive area where you can have a 'meet and greet' with Spongebob Squarepants. Other stations allow you to e-mail cards to friends or to try your hand at directing by adding sound and special effects to a Nick cartoon. You don’t need to ride the simulator to experience the interactive area -- just enter through the gift shop.
If you are prone to motion sickness or do not meet the height requirement, stationary seats are available in the front. Also, if you choose these seats, your wait time will considerably be less. Follow the signs to a special queue for the stationary seats.
Note: Any child who meets the height requirements for the rides but is less than 48 inches must be accompanied by an adult who can assist the child to enter and exit the ride.
