Despicable Me Minion Mayhem?

[keegaan]

What exactly is this ride? Is it a simulator or an actual ride. What do you do in it? I'm only asking this because of my little brother who might go on this, but since it's a newer attraction, we haven't been on it yet.

Simulator ride. 3d in front of screen. It is one of my favorites

Same ride system as Hanna Barbera and Jimmy Newtron the previous two rides in that show building.

My boys (6 & 9 at the time) really enjoyed it and the queue area has great little details from the film.

A bunch of limited motion simulator cars in front of a movie screen. Similar to many simulator attractions at six flags type theme parks if you've seen any of those "motion theaters"

Its quite an outdated simulator - cheap attraction if i am honest.

First you enter the house and stand in line. There is a quick preshow and then you enter the theater. There are groupings of 4 seats together in the theater. I can't remember if they have stationary seats like Jimmy Neutron had.

You sit, the bar comes down and then it is a simulator ride.

"Outdated" is something like Buzz Lightyear's stuck-in-the-90s Dreamflight overlay.

"Cheap attraction" is Barnstormer, the Woody Woodpecker coaster, or the Monsters Inc Laugh (sic) Floor.

Minion Mayhem is one of the best (maybe the best) D-ticket rides in Orlando. The 3D is pristine and works perfectly with the simulator's movements. Shame it has such long waits.

Yes there are non-motion seats at the front of the theater. Just ask for one if you want to just see the show and not have your seat shaking the hell out of you.

If any ride needs the soarin'/TSMM treatment it is that one.

Nothing about the queue and the 4K 3D projection is cheap.

 

[Clubkid74]

Oh come people yea it is a cheap overlay but still an effective ride. Cute and all. It is one the the rides I do many time while there

 

[TubaGeek]

As a Uni fanboy, I find the ride system to be antiquidated. However, if you're a Despicable Me fan, it's not to be missed. The ride film is made with the same humor and charm as made the first film so successful.

 

[JordanNite]

I'm a huge Universal fan, but it's just a cheap overlay attraction.

The brand name makes it a massive attraction. Kids will still love it. But if you are comparing it to Spiderman, Transformers, Harry Potter ride, it doesn't even come close. It doesn't emerse you into the world, you can always see you're in a room.

Not complaining though, it's built in a small area, reasonably cheap to develop, keeps the kids happy as it's a current franchise that will most likely be out of date in 10 years.

It's a D-Ticket.

It was never intended to be a headliner attraction. Small but incredibly effective.

Agreed.

But Despicable Me has turned out to be a huge film, don't think they even expected the sequel to be that massive, and spawn spin offs. A little more effort and investment they could have had a headliner attraction.

Which is what they are doing in Hollywood, I could see them going back over the DM and "Simpson land-ing" the area in a couple years. The only bad thing is the HRRR queue is right behind it.

 

[JordanNite]

The thing is, this cheap simulator actually makes people tired of their worlclass simulators like Simpsons, Transformers, Spiderman, etc

You get simulator fatigue, and Despicable Me is one of the main instagators of this, as it's quite a cheap attraction.

But it serves it's point, and i can see why Universal went for it.

DM:MM> Simpsons Ride to me. Simpsons is blurry and I have always hated that queue. There is just something I do not like about the layout of that building. Some of the best attractions can be cheap, just because the company drops 100 million on an attraction doesn't make it a good attraction. DM:MM has no input on how much I enjoy any other attraction at the park.
