Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem (USH)

[...]

As of 2:57 PM, there are no clouds on the front side of the building.


Also, SSFL employees have a costume identical to that of the carnival game worker in the movie.


Banana flavored pudding and sherbet drink are coming to Miss Hattie's

I'm excited for unique food/beverage offerings!

Pretty major ride system difficulties have pushed softs to late March.

Probably leaking from the rain we just had!  T2 leaked!  LOL

My brother works at USH and is attending the sneak peek. I will ask him about it and report back here.

It's a hydraulics issue in Ride Room B.

Sad to hear that DM won't be getting the same amount of soft opening time as TF. For those who may not know "technical rehearsals" are not just for the guest's benefit, but largely helpful to true operations team.

Still, it's gotta be up before the last week of March hits with the first wave of spring break crowds. If not, I weep for USH.

 

[Allen The Actor]

Although....if only ONE ride room is giving them issues, then I still think they can soft open on time and give a head start to the operations team! After all, the double capacity we have and the two ride room configuration we have was designed to eliminate this issue of having DM fully down! Even with longer wait times, I think having at least one working side open would benefit the operations team.

They want it open with both sides before testing it with the public.

 

[Allen The Actor]

Well of course, that's ideal lol. I'm just saying that in a normal situation, one side having a problem wouldn't be an issue .

Super Silly Fun Land Uniform and a straw hat to match the one from the first film. The front of the shirt is blank. Out of respect for the TM, I'm not including the face in the photo.

 

[Chris]

Wow, Orlando effort and theme quality.  I am proud of USH going for the gold with this one.  Even if its still an ET/Mummy redo.

 

[Allen The Actor]

Really proud of USH. Let's hope that from now on that USH won't create anything less than what they're doing with DM and will keep quality and themeing high.

 

[Ryan]

I shouldn't say anything until the thing is fully open, but I'm a little disappointed they didn't have a smidgen of room to add the carnival game from the first film. It doesn't make full sense to just have a tiny carnival team way out there far away from Simpsons Plaza, and space is pretty spare, but trust me it would add so much.

Look closely at the blueprints on the Miss Hattie's side of SSFL and you may get your wish....

Wow I seriously spoke too soon. This is great!

Weird that the spinner isn't mentioned in the article.

 

[Allen The Actor]

Yeah, weird that the spinner isn't mentioned.

It kinda bothers me that through most of the article, the emphasis was put on the ride and area being "for the younger kids" and "those eight years old and younger".....I know Universal needs to advertise the area and ride as kid friendly, but I hate when things are advertised as if they're ONLY for kids. They should just say that it's "a family friendly ride that everyone of all ages will enjoy." And to quote Krusty "Can you say that Krustyland is fun for everyone from 8 to 80?!"

 

[Ryan]

The spinner (which was at least a year ago tentatively titled "Silly Swirl") has gotta be the oddest thing. We have clear evidence of its construction and it being there, but it's really not mentioned much in recent articles and such. Odd.

 

[Jonathan]

USH is trolling everyone. It may look like a spinner but it's just a photo op.
