Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem (USH)

[William]

SSFL is still being refurbished. It looks like they're just freshening up paint and replacing tarps.

 

[Freak]

That mural behind the ride looked like it's seen better days. I'm glad to see that they're addressing that as well.

Take a behind the scenes look at the making of Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem at Universal Studios Hollywood.

Does anyone know why the Banana Smell effect for the Fart Gun has not been working? I have only been inside the B side of the attraction and there seems to not be any smell effect at all recently. Does anyone else have a recent recollection of this?

I’m told it’s been out for quite a while, with no visible effort to fix it.

That’s the Universal I know...lazy.

Where is our savior Karen when we need her?!?

I can confirm the banana smell effect was working today.

Awesome. That is good to know!

Just wanted to point this out because I forgot to get a pic & mention it before (and nobody else either), BUT.... Silly Swirly now added cushions to the seats to help prevent them from getting too hot in the heat so guests could still ride it. Plus it looks good & they're comfy haha

 

[Stryker]

Never noticed this before until today. In case anyone has ever wondered what the floorplan looks like.

 

[Ryan]

Hmm. I'm asking.

 

[Clive]

Would love to know how the former glasses area looks / how the first preshow area is configured with this apparent change.

 

[Dustin]

Any chance this is happening solely so that they can repurpose the glasses for JWorld?

 

[Ryan]

Uh.

What.

I wonder if this is because Dreamworks Theater got a better response for NOT being 3D. (Note: this is all purely speculation on my part, I have no concrete evidence whatsoever that DWT got a better response from the public... but it sure does for me and I imagine the ride ops, lol)

I know I visit DWT way, way more than I ever did Shrek (the smoother motion of the seats helps, too--but it's mainly because of it not being 3D). I sort of wonder if I'll end up enjoying Minions a bit more--admittedly I don't ride that too often either. Curious to give it a try!

So you all can relax... for now...

So much for relaxing it’s a broken image tag

Jurassic World won't have 3D in any capacity.
