Villain-Con Minion Blast (General Discussion)

And… makes you think what more they could’ve done!

Well, the site was large enough for the original version of SLOP, a larger building than the present one at USH for this version of SLOP. But USF didn't want it, supposedly.....Probably worked out well in the end, since now USF has a nicely themed restaurant mini land in addition to the attraction.

Ya I don’t hate this, just from a far seeing the other potential it is sometimes disappointing. Minions are fun tho so whatever

this is my official position on the attraction

Honestly, fair

 

[GA-MBIT]

Honestly, I think this addition is probably best long term for the park. I would also like a new dark ride in Studios, but an extremely accessibility friendly, all ages, high capacity shooter attraction and a sizable permanent HHN year-round space will do more for the park overall imo. Especially since if we get our wishes with further expansions around Kidzone, Simpsons, FFL, and Supercharged we could end up losing quite a few current HHN house locations over the years like the F&F tents, Sprung Tents, B79. Or at least losing them how they are used as of now.

You can't really go wrong with an attraction like this. Like everyone has been saying it's fun and uses its space effectively. Atleast it's not another Supercharged!

we went on this twice during our most recent trip and thought it was Fine. the gameplay is a little repetitive and there's still a bit of lag that can make it tough to stay fully engaged. we also thought it was a bit long, which is not a complaint I expected to have. overall, it's a decent shooting gallery and a great people eater but I didn't like it quite as much as I expected to.

Sync would not work on my pixel 7. old iphone worked fine with whon ok I was with.

One big plus since this attraction opened. Minion Mayhem now has fairly short lines. Much shorter than previously. Seems like this has helped spread the DM interested guests around.

That’s encouraging, I hope the trend continues.

"Universal Orlando just got a lot more evil. And considering what they charge for parking, that's saying a lot."

This line in the queue killed me.

 

[TylerG]

So the ride queue and stores have the minions soundtrack and the land had the production central one? (i’ve heard minions 2 songs in videos)

Maybe i’m wrong and the production central mix just already had minions songs mixed in there? idk

When I was there a couple weeks back I definitely heard the old production central loop playing in the land, kind of surprised they didn't change it out for all minions music.

 

[Captain Tragedy]

Can confirm this ride is good and fun. Loved it.

 

[WaterToWade]

Begging deeply that the caroline polachek version of bang bang on the minions 2 soundtrack is in the land

Yes! You have no idea what hearing Kali Uchis in a Universal park did for me.

The entire soundtrack lineup is insane. Phoebe, Brockhampton etc… I hope a lot of them show up in the land!

It would make no difference but I need this lol. Play that unjustifiably great soundtrack!!

We rode this on our recent trip. Great fun concept but lots going on that invites repeat rides.

It does suffer the same issue as the MIB ride and the Buzz Lightyear ride in MK - it's hard to tell where you're aiming while you move past the targets. The larger target icons are a huge improvement over the little laser beam on those other rides, but I still found it difficult at first.

I may have missed something in the queue videos but I couldn't at first tell which color I was. Maybe it's in the app but I don't do that poop for a ride LOL.

On the other two rides the targets are somewhat stationary in the sense that they don't suddenly appear in the field - as your vehicle turns the corner into a new room the guests are all picking out new targets and the "spread" of little laser points helps a bit to see where you're aiming. In VCMB, a new target swoops onto the screen and *all* the larger targeting icons all move at once to this new target since all guests are now pointing to it.

Still lots of fun tho.

Thanks for the review! It’s been a while, so I dunno if anything changed, but I believe your color is reflected on the gun at some point early on. Can anyone confirm?

Correct. The color on the gun (specifically on the little glove) matches the reticle on the screen.
