Despicable Me Minion Mayhem is a motion simulator ride in Minion Land on Illumination Avenue at Universal Studios Florida in Orlando, housed in Soundstage 42. After pre-show videos featuring Gru and his daughters, riders board eight-seat motion vehicles for an animated film in which they are turned into Minions and sent through a training course, then changed back to human form at the end.
History
The ride soft-opened on June 9, 2012 and officially opened on July 2, 2012. It took the place of Jimmy Neutron's Nicktoon Blast, which had replaced The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera, an original 1990 attraction. Universal Creative designed it with Illumination, Reel FX Animation and Duncan Studio, and Intamin built the motion system. The experience lasts about eight minutes.
