This Week in Theme Park News: Genie+ and Lightning Lane launch at Disney World, and Shrek 4-D nears the end at Universal Studios Florida.
, I’m back with our regular weekly recap of all the latest happenings and mishaps in the world of theme parks. And this week was a real doozy, so let’s get started.
Genie also has two extra paid tiers, which are getting most of the attention. Genie+ costs an extra $15 per day , and it effectively replaces the old FastPass program. Genie+ gives you access to the new Lightning Lane entrances, letting you schedule a specific window of time at over 40 attractions throughout Disney World’s four parks.
Obviously these new extra add-ons will make a trip to Disney World more expensive than it already is. Other theme parks have long charged extra to skip the lines, though, something Disney World has never done until now, so in a way Disney is just catching up to what other companies have already made a standard part of theme park life. And if you use Genie+ and Lightning Lane smartly, it does seem like you’ll most likely be able to see and do more in a day than you typically would’ve in the past.
Speaking of deadlines: you officially have less than three months left to say goodbye to Shrek 4-D at Universal Studios Florida. The simulator attraction will be shutting down for good on Jan. 10, 2022, with its gift shop disappearing alongside it. Fear not, though, Shrekheads: the big green ogre and his pal Donkey will still be showing up at the Meet Shrek and Donkey meet-and-greet.
