Lots going on this morning lol.
1) Universal dropped a podcast discussing the attraction in more detail:
PODCAST | Details about Illumination’s Villain-Con Minion Blast
Listen as hosts Kari and David talk all things Villain-Con Minion Blast in the latest episode of the Discover Universal Podcast.blog.discoveruniversal.com
And a press release for those who would rather read:

2) No signs up this morning so far going off of pictures

The ending of that press release gets me excited. Sounds like this will be their try at what Galaxy's Edge failed to do, where your experience on the attraction can affect interactions in the land.

Can you expand on what would make you excited?
What is an “in-park guest experience” that would come from your score on minion blast that would get you excited?

For an attraction of this scale, definitely. Good to have a mix of "just fun" and "awe-inspiring." (Because a certain quote about that gets discussed so much.)
Villain-Con Minion Blast has begun technical rehearsals with the general public, better known as "Soft Opening".

Just got off the ride. It’s fun and chaotic. Will take a few attempts to figure out what is happening. The line moves very quick. Wait time said 75 minutes and I was in and out in about 20 minutes. Ended up with 720,000 which I have no idea how good or bad that is. Looks like it has enough digits to go up to 99,999,999
Hearing about how long this sucker is and how small the footprint is, this could be a really great addition elsewhere. Such a small, meaty experience to stick in random spots.
Glad to hear they really tried to get this right, and it looks like they succeed

Super fun in the first run. Scored 855,550 and was pretty easy to track your dot. Super chaotic and close quarters. They might need to space the dots out down the road, but love the attraction. Will be a must do every time we come compared to Shrek.
Here's the queue tour of Villain-Con Minion Blast at Universal Studios Florida, the first-of-its-kind blaster game attraction.

With a ride system that's stupidly easy for repairs. Feels like something that could work in oh i don't know a regional kids park, Halloween FEC, or a cruise ship. Just spitballing of course.
