SHREK’S MERRY FAIRY TALE JOURNEY

[@RariettyC]

I love how they incorporated their inability to create realistic animatronics into the script by making the entire thing a puppet show. That's actually pretty smart.

[@unpaidpiper]

It is! I like to imagine that this was something they came up with in the 11th hour when the whole thing had already been built and they only had time to re-tool the first scene and attach a bunch of strings to the cealing :)

[@bryonywebber4352]

[@Jack51615]

Rarietty they are animatronics with the illusion that it’s a puppet show because they can’t make fluent animatronics.

[@UAEforlife]

This is from my country

[@breadcrumbhoarder]

That queue is a ride in itself, so well themed! Also, y’all got a lotta complaints for people who aren’t funding the ride. Yeah the animatronics are limited motion but the sets are detailed and the animatronics look good! Disney level animatronics are insanely expensive, and when you have a limited budget you have to be creative. I think this ride is really successful, it has amazing themeing, good storytelling, and you can tell that the team behind it worked their hardest to make a good ride and it shows.

[@RipDippler]

4:45 the most important anamatronic ever made.

[@betelman]

This is probably my favorite dark ride attraction that I have seen from this park plus it is the best attraction design I have seen for the film Shrek in any Theme Park. Yes, the animation is not smooth but hey, It's a puppet show so it does not have to be. That being said, the way the story plays through with the ride vehicle's help as it turns, there are some wonderful and creative FX. Nicely done.

[@carminecdinoproductions]

+betelman YES!

[@katherineaguilar4129]

Can anybody tell me where is it at ?

[@TheOnlyBongo]

Color me impressed, Motiongate Dubai actually has a ride that lives up to the standards they said (They originally stated they were making rides whose quality was on par with Disney or Universal). While the animatronic's movements are as smooth as I would want, the presentation is definitively better than Hotel Transylvania or any other of the dark rides they were trying to pass off. This one's presentation as being told through a puppet show does great wonders. Not only do the animatronics look great, but the flat 2D cardboard cutout scenery also make sense in a lot of places too. Creativity definitively can help trump any monetary shortcomings for sure. Definitively one of the better attractions at Motiongate by far.

[@graymoreghost]

Bongo in a Top Hat Well, it certainly doesn't take much to make you happy. I mean, if this is the best thing in Motiongate, I think I'll give the rest of the park a pass. This really sucked. Humiliating and embarrassing.

[@derekhauk11]

That's smart, their other rides have a tendency to look janky, so the puppet show idea gave them more leeway to be creative

[@TheArtmaster67]

I LOVE THIS RIDE!!!!!!! GO MORE RIDE PLEASE!!!

[@cartoonhigh9990]

Definitely the most well done in the park. Not amazing, but not as bad as the others.

[@Themeparknerd1993]

This is awesome! I wish Universal Studios had something like this instead of the 4D ride.

[@thomastelgenhoff7401]

It is very interesting but smart

[@j.j.q1379]

its better than the other rides. and its a good idea, fresh idea

[@tamajinn]

I thought it was cute and charming! The sheer number of scenes from the movie was impressive. I don't think even Disney can boast a "movie summary" ride that had this many scenes. Some of the rooms were huge, all decorated with lots of detail. But why was it so empty? Not a soul in line or the gift shop?

[@hakjie1112]

True, but not a single scene was really impressive or memorable, most of them look scarily empty.

[@nothing-po8nu]

Melanie Beasley it'd ride it

[@graymoreghost]

Melanie Beasley Why was it empty???? Because the ride SUCKS!! I can't believe you compared this drivel, cheap mess to the great Disney. They tell wonderful and imaginative stories on their rides. This was embarrassing.

[@hollowmm6044]

@@graymoreghost well not everyone has the budget as Disney. They had a good idea and not a high budget. So they made the anamotronics look like puppets. A pretty good idea if you ask me.

[@darkridesandwalkthroughs6961]

Sure no problem.

[@illusionsmage]

... wow, Motiongate dubai actually made a decent dark ride even with their... less than amazing animatronics. Still, there's a solid difference between this and something like Snow White's scary adventures. Speed. I can't help but think that if they varied the speed (if they could vary the speed) of the ride vehicles, giving more of a jerky motion conveying that rush, that'd be better. Some scenes just seem to get drawn out way too much, though again, credit to them for making due with the less sophisticated animatronic figures. Though I can't help but think that this sort of tech would be better fitted for say... a five nights at freddy's walkthrough attraction.

[@makutamiserix5612]

Fnaf sucks I hope they never make a ride for it

[@ethanpaul1865]

I'm surprised no one has made a fnaf ride yet, it'd be pretty marketable, albeit less then it would've been back in 2015/2016.

they can do amazing facades and scenes, they just need to fix ride pacing and make the animatronics with more movement

[@vicareyous3019]

These people obviously saw Mystic Manor at Shanghai Disneyland. They completely ignored the lessons about show, drama, timing and integration it teaches. The Dubai park obviously had more than double Mystic Manor's budget, and they utterly wasted it on a near complete lack of show. Universal should have asked the designers for an attraction synopsis before licensing the Shrek property. All I can say in closing is: I wish I had the millions of dollars the people wasted on this lame attempt at show. The pity is that this is probably the best attraction at the entire Dubai debacle. How sad.

[@luisguevara-flores4935]

technically, I think this was licensed out before Universal bought Shrek proper as part of Dreamworks animation.
