So are going to get the offical name of it at next weeks announcment ?

The official name, and perhaps even the official logo, have been online for quite some time over at ParkRumors.com, but I guess no one noticed or cared? Here's the image, from a pressed penny machine that was in CityWalk and later removed/changed I guess:

Universal even recently filed a trademark for the use of the name "Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem", so I'm assuming that's pretty much the finalized name for the ride...

I think I read on here somewhere that it was going to be Minion mayham but it was a rumor but I guess its the finalized name.

The name has been on the construction wall for months.

If that's true, then we need our stan cards removed.

It's pretty sad if after all the updates, it takes a penny machine to wake us up

My only question is the whole turning riders into Minions. Will it be something tacky like (the best example I could find) how this guy's face is on a facial hair? Or am I totally of base?

I have a strong feeling they're gonna make the vehicles dance to Boogie Fever :bonk:

Personally I don't think it'll be anything more than saying something like "When you put on these glasses you will become Minions." like when ITTBAB makes you "honorary bugs" by putting the glasses on.

I don't think it's going to be an actual transformation that happens on screen.

I don't know. They have been making a point of this over and over again in pretty much every press release and announcement. So it makes me think that it is simply more than just "putting on your 3D glasses"

Like I've said before:

We will walk in, and sit down in the ride vehicles. They will lower the bars and Gru will come on the screen he will say something along the lines of "Welcum new recruits...blah blah blah, experiement, blah blah, i'm awesome, blah blah" He will flip a switch, a light/laser show fills the room and then we are told to put on our minion goggles while the room is full and we become minions.

One thing I'm kind of hoping for too is possibly the removal of the old screen, and replaced with one that is more oval and kind of surrounds the room, similar to the T2 screen and film.

What are the chances we're in rockets again

 

[UNIrd]

What's the capacity like for this? I remember Jimmy hitting over 120 minute waits on busy days and Despicable Me stands to be a lot more popular (and seems like a much hotter property) than Jimmy ever was.
