Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem (USF)

[UNIrd]

I feel like they're going big on this changeover to Despicable Me. It might even upgrade the experience from a C-ticket to a solid D in my eyes.

Definitely speeding up! Thanks for the updates! I really hope they enclose what used to be the outdoor queue and theme it up...

According to the concept art released it looks like it will be turned into a themed queue that is very much a preshow setting to the preshow area that has always been. It will be themed to Gru's living room.

I'm not sure if what was pictured in the concept art will be inside the show building or that queue area before going in. I certainly hope it's that outdoor queue area that will be enclosed and themed! ray:

The ceiling for the outdoor queue isn't nearly as high as it is in the concept art. (But then again, its only concept art). Hopefully from the entrance, we go straight into the building and the outdoor will be used for overflow.

I am pretty confused on how that would work because the one picture of concept art definiately looks like the preshow room that building has featured since 1990 and the other is definitely a new structure.

It looks like they are already ripping apart the old outdoor queue railings and such so we will soon find out.

If we do in fact go right into the room with the queue rails/goggle area from the facade than I am guessing the image above is from inside one of the walls of the ride's main theater.

Pretty sure we will enter into Gru's house as a part of the "pre show" queue. Then the door opens or in this case possibly a chair moving to the side to reveal the classic three screen final pre show room that is in Gru's lab.

Yeah, no doubt about that, definitely the preshow room. Maybe they will raise the roof of the outdoor queue and enclose it? Or maybe even take out some of the theater area for the queue (assuming the ride is set up the same way as Neutron).
