After rumors emerged earlier today, Universal Orlando Resort has confirmed that Shrek 4-D will close on January 10th, 2022 at Universal Studios Florida.

Spectrum News 13’s Ashley Carter reported on the closure this afternoon. Universal also confirmed that Shrek’s Ye Olde Souvenir Shoppe will also close January 10th. But there is a glimmer of hope for fans of the ogre and his pals, as the Meet Shrek & Donkey character experience will remain operational.

No reason for the closure has been given, nor has a replacement been announced. The attraction opened in 2003 on the former site of Alfred Hitchcock: The Art of Making Movies, and will conclude after a nearly nineteen-year run. Previously, its sister attraction closed at Universal Studios Hollywood in 2017 to make way for the Dreamworks Theatre.
