The Story
The adventure kicks off when Po receives a message from the emperor himself — he must deliver the Liquid of Ultimate Power to the palace. But this isn’t a solo mission! Po recruits you as backup warriors to help him battle pirates, survive rapids, and navigate booby traps. It’s funny, frantic, and full of heart — just like Po himself.
The Queue
Before the action starts, you’ll pass through a charming Hollywood-style theater complete with retro box office and throwback movie posters from DreamWorks Animation hits like Shrek, Madagascar, and How to Train Your Dragon. Keep an eye out for hidden character silhouettes in the arches and magical artifacts from Po’s past adventures inside the lobby, including the Ming Hammer, which may or may not spark a little drama later on…
The Experience
Once seated, get ready for a full-sensory ride. This is no ordinary movie! The moving seats tilt, shake, and bounce in sync with the on-screen action. You’ll feel the rush of waterfalls, the wind of a speeding boat, and even a splash or two. From glowing caves to pirate hideouts (complete with adorable bunny construction workers), every twist and turn adds to the chaotic fun.
