DreamWorks Theatre is an upcoming 4D film attraction scheduled to open in 2018 at the Universal Studios Hollywood theme park in Los Angeles, California. The new attraction will be themed around characters featured in films from DreamWorks Animation. It will replace the Shrek 4-D attraction, which closed on August 13, 2017.
Following NBCUniversal's purchase of DreamWorks Animation for $3.8 billion in 2016, it sought to leverage its newly acquired intellectual properties. On June 5, 2017, Universal Studios Hollywood announced the new DreamWorks Theatre attraction would open in 2018 based around characters featured in DreamWorks Animation films, which replaces the Shrek 4-D attraction on August 13. According to the press release issued by NBCUniversal, "this newly designed venue will play host to a variety of action-packed DreamWorks Animation themed attractions beginning with the multi-sensory adventure inspired by the global blockbuster franchise Kung Fu Panda, and created in partnership with Universal Creative and DreamWorks' Artists." They also stated that "this new technologically advanced attraction will take guests on a legendary journey that fuses captivating storytelling with state-of-the art projection mapping and LED lighting effects for a highly engaging and immersive, unstoppable-awesome experience."
The DreamWorks Theatre will host a variety of attractions from DreamWorks Animations, such as Madagascar, Penguins of Madagascar, How to Train Your Dragon, and Trolls. It would allow the theme park to potentially introduce a new DreamWorks Animation attraction every summer that ties in with the latest theatrical release.
