I've experienced Shrek 4-D @ Universal Studios Florida, but I haven't had the opportunity to watch the DVD version yet. So, what are the major differences?
I'm wondering how the pre-show portion, and the ending were handled on the DVD, for example.
- I do not mean to pry, but you don't by any chance happen to have six fingers on your right hand?
1. When watching the DVD, your seat (most likely) does not move on its own!

Not only did my seat not move, but I didn't feel the spiders crawling over my body or donkey sneeze in my face.
I really liked the Universal Studio show, but the DVD is also OK.
"I'm wondering how the pre-show portion, and the ending were handled on the DVD, for example."
The preshow portion is not included on the DVD. The ending is the same though.
Vincent : Yo, homie. Is that my briefcase?
With the exception , when the champagne cork hits the fairy in the DVD, you just see her travel off screen to the left. In the ride, if you follow the trajectory, you see a wall mounted speaker with two wiggling fairy legs sticking out. Thats not on the DVD either.
sharei went on shrek 4D in Florida.
I don't remember it very well but someone farted during it.
I remember that, i couldn't wait to move to the next room.
Get busy living, or get busy dying.

I HATE when that happens! However, how could you NOT laugh during something like that! It reminds me of when I was at a funeral and it was a particularly uncomfortable moment and then suddenly someone lets one rip... the whole room laughed! What a way to lighten the mood!
shareI've never seen the ride version (having never been within 3000 miles of the USA), but I presume it's done using vectograph stereo (crossed polarisation), and thus is in full colour.
The DVD version is of course done using the anaglyph technique (left image in red, right image in cyan), that being the only way of doing 3D on TV/PC screens; which reduces the colour somewhat (though doesn't completely eliminate it, as the old red/green or red/blue anaglyphs did), and also makes the picture somewhat darker than it would otherwise be.
I also found sitting through 12 minutes of anaglyptic video something of a strain, which spoiled my enjoyment a bit; though I've several times sat through the entire length of The Polar Express (vectographic) without any such problem.
