Shrek 4D closed its doors in January 2022. The attraction opened in 2003 and welcomed guests for 19 years and was popular with theme park enthusiasts. It was an especially popular place for guests to hide from the Florida sun and heat as it was air-conditioned and a fun immersion into the world of Shrek. At the time it opened it featured new technology and tricks that delighted (or scared) guests. We can't wait to see what new technology will be included in the new attraction that Universal Orlando has announced to be "first-of-its-kind".  *New episodes of the Theme Parks and Rec Podcast are available every Thursday!

北京环球度假区9月20日开园！有哪些看点？丨Universal resort set to boost tourismThe Universal Beijing Resort is poised for a strong launch on Sept 20, during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, after the announcement of its opening date generated great interest online.北京环球度假区准备在9月20日中秋节假期期间强势推出，在宣布其开放日期后，引起了网上的极大兴趣。This year's Mid-Autumn Festival falls on Sept 21, the day after the opening of the theme park.今年的中秋节是在9月21日，也就是主题公园开幕的第二天。Within just one hour of the resort announcing its official opening date on Monday afternoon, web traffic related to it on Chinese travel booking platform Ctrip rose by 830 percent compared with the same period last week. Searches for nearby hotels increased by 320 percent over the same period.在周一下午度假村宣布其正式开业日期后的短短一小时内，中国旅游预订平台携程网上与之相关的网络流量与上周同期相比增长了830%。同期对附近酒店的搜索量也增加了320%。On ly.com, another Chinese online travel agency, hits about the resort also soared rapidly. The platform has received many inquiries about ticket prices, but the resort has yet to release these details.在另一家中国在线旅行网站同程旅行官网，有关该度假村的点击率也迅速飙升。该平台收到了许多关于门票价格的询问，但度假村尚未公布这些细节。"This year, short tours have become increasingly popular. Theme parks have always been a hot choice for this kind of two-to-three day tours," said Zhang Guodong, director of the communication department of ly.com.“今年，短途旅游变得越来越受欢迎。主题公园一直是这种两到三天旅游的热门选择，”同程旅行传播部主任张国栋说。Fang Zeqian, an analyst at Ctrip, said the opening of the Universal Beijing Resort is great news for the tourist market in northern China, an area with relatively few theme parks.携程网的分析师方泽谦说，北京环球度假酒店的开业对中国北方的旅游市场是个很好的消息，中国北方的主题公园相对较少。"The tourist market was affected by COVID-19.
