![]() ![]() He also takes time to explains that the guests will be able to become Minions with the help of a Minion Gun, which was also developed by Dr. ![]() ![]() Guests then enter a laboratory for a second preshow where Gru welcomes the guests and, after scanning them, accuses some of them of bad hygiene, going as far as showing them on camera. The preshow also includes some joke instructions such as if guests have only one or more than two eyes, or if they do not know how to put on the goggles. Gru also includes a safety reel featuring the Minions on how to use the goggles. Eventually, the guests enter the living room, where Gru greets them and prepares them for their recruitment training, and encourages guests to take a pair of Minion Goggles (3D glasses), developed by his assistant Dr. Guests enter the attraction through a mock-up design of Gru's house, where they are shown various videos of how to be a Minion, as well as information on Gru and his adopted daughters, Margo, Edith, and Agnes. The franchise's protagonist, Gru, is recruiting volunteers as new Minions to help with various errands. In July of 2019, Universal removed the 3D glasses from this ride, turning it into a 2D ride.ĭespicable Me: Minion Mayhem is set between the events of the first and second films in the franchise of the same name. On May 19 that same year, Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem was announced as its replacement, along with The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Manbeing closed next door to receive new projection and HD video effects.ĭespicable Me: Minion Mayhem officially opened on July 2, 2012, though its associated gift shop, Super Silly Stuff, opened two months prior in May. In March 2011, Universal announced that Jimmy Neutron's Nicktoon Blast would close later that year in August in preparation for a new attraction. An additional clone of the ride is set to be opened at Universal Studios Singapore. The ride is also available at Universal Studios Hollywood, Universal Studios Japan, and Universal Studios Beijing, though there are various differences at each park. The ride features guests volunteering as recruits to become Minions for series protagonist, Gru. It is based on the 2010 film Despicable Me, and set between the events of the original film and its 2013 sequel Despicable Me 2. It replaced Jimmy Neutron's Nicktoon Blast, and The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera. The coolest part however is probably the little carnival stand which is accurately recreated from the first movie, allowing kids to try to win Agnes' fluffy pink unicorn for themselves and be part of the Despicable Me world.40 in (102 cm) Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem is a 3D simulator ride located in the Production Central area of Universal Studios Florida. The Super Silly Fun Land has a bunch of small kiddie rides, and an area which leave many kids soaked. Heck, even the Marvel movies theme the Real D glasses for theatrical screenings, its not too much to ask, right? The themeing of the outside and inside of Gru's house is fantastic, filled with fun details which will be photographed by millions of tourists each year. There are also some missed themeing opportunities, like the 3D glasses are stock/standard Dolby 3D glasses - you would think an attraction that promises to turn you into a minion would have had 3D glasses themed off of the Minion's trademarked goggles. I wish the park had more room for old school ride experiences that move further than a hydraulic gimbal beneath a set of seats will allow. That said, it is still yet another Universal theme park simulator ride where visitors sit in a moving vehicle wearing 3D glasses and staring at a giant screen. Minion Meyhem is a lot of fun, and I'm sure kids will love it.
