More trees have been added into the new Shrek queue.

I love the amount of the Trees are coming into this area. It will make a great contrast for Universal Plaza.

I think the height of the Hogsmeade buildings, facades, and trees will all be tall enough to fully encompass guests from every angle, it's completely immersive. Only place where it might be an issue is while on Flight of the Hippogriff, which is unfortunately inevitable in all the Wizarding Worlds. We'll see, maybe the trees immediately around FotH will be tall enough.

But yeah, some detailed trimmings around just the top of the Shrek building would do wonders. Just SOME effort. It would be so nice if it looked like we're entering a castle in Duloc. The themeing is still a bit of a mishmash, especially closer to the where we enter the building.

I certainly hope lots of trees are planted between Hippogriff and WaterWorld because this (below) will not help guests in Hogsmeade feel immersed there.  Photos are taken from studio tour bridge which is MUCH further away than any part of Hogsmeade.  I could hear it, too.

There's no doubt that the pyrotechnics from WaterWorld will be seen and heard from within Hogsmeade. The atmospheric music may drown some of it out, but there are no trees tall enough to block out the flares going up in the sky. Lucky for us, we can assume Harry and his friends are casting spells out in the Forbidden Forest.

Was just gonna post that! We can pretend it's spells and dueling in the Forbidden Forest or distress signals, or better yet, a Dragon on the loose!

Or the after effect of Hagrid's cooking ;)

I went to the park to check on Springfield today and I was shocked to see they took the walls down at the Shrek queue, so I put a little video together. Looks nice!

Great video! That queue looks fantastic! Arguably the best compared to Florida and Singapore's queues. They clearly want Shrek sticking around for the long run.

Sort of reminds me of the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train queue at the Magic Kingdom. This is a huge improvement over neon green switchbacks and tacky, blue tarps.

Yea, I totally agree William. It's nice to see them sort of blend Wizarding World and Shrek together so it's not super jarring.

Wow, what an improvement! Isn't it amazing what some beautiful landscaping, stone work, and organization can do??? Totally different feel, and I love it! Even though I'm over Shrek, I'm glad that it's at least light years more esthetically pleasing than it was before. If they have to keep it for a while longer, might as well make it look nice! And hey, whatever replaces it eventually can always reuse this new charming green queue.

Now about that Shrek show building....lol

Walls stating to come down around new Shrek queue and it's beautiful in there.  It's not done but I think it's a remarkable design element to bridge Harry Potter and Shrek IP's.

Shrek queue behind the building is also progressing.  Wooden fence looks great with the green landscaping.

So, so impressive. It's cool to see that guests will be walking in Hogsmeade literally just behind the fence. This queue will also provide an incredible view of Hogwarts!

I hope guest aren't climbing on the rock walls and stepping in the plants. Also I think this queue will also be used for Harry Potter for the place you return your fast pass like ticket to get into Hogsmead

Yay... can't wait for the rest of those construction walls to come down. This looks great & should've been planned from day-one. Better late than never. Curious to see how this new queue looks at night.

The view of FJ/Hogwarts will provide some great pics while waiting in the queue... although we'll have to wait & see how the view is once Hippogriff is built with landscaping, plus the "spirit rally" stage for Frog Choir. Beauxbatons, & Durmstrang.

and hey... leave Orlando's crappy Shrek queue alone :lol: .. they can't do something like this due to having had to shove Shrek 4D into the old Hitchcock soundstage! Plus you've got the Lucy Tribute/old-timey giftshop right next door. However, at least they gave Donkey a better themed photo-op spot across from the exit (due to Transformers being built where his original photo-op was).

Streetlamps have been added to Shrek queue.  I never anticipated this area would look this nice.

I think Shrek's famous outhouse is also just behind the attraction sign. Love this already!

Went early today and things are looking great.  Shrek continues to impress and makes a nice transition to Hogsmeade.
