Villain-Con Minion Blast (General Discussion)

[Alicia]

Probably more than 100 if capacity can be affected by the size of the human. Can you fit 2 little ones in the space of one person, or will everyone have to stand on their dot.

I think one person per dot, regardless of human size, to allow arm movement room for blasting.

"Human size" made me laugh for some reason. Wonder if they'll let service animals have their own dot!

Guessing this’ll officially open June-ish. (As long as next couple months testing go well.)

Apart from animatronic issues, I assume there is little that can go wrong with this right. Can't wait to on this as I am very interested in it, I think this will be sleeper hit; also, as someone who works attractions can't wait to check out operations for this ride, I am nee for such stuff lol.

It's March, I suspect we will start seeing the marketing for this ramp up soon.

I'm guessing Late April or Early May TM previews.

I would love some blast holes or other signs that it’s a shooter attraction.

I wonder if they're going to clearly communicate to guests outside the queue that this isn't a ride.

Would they just call it an attraction then?

 

[Legacy]

Did they indicate that Twister wasn’t a ride?

I'm sure they'll specify it in some way on the park map and the attraction's information board, but a lot of people don't study those particularly carefully.

Did they indicate that Twister wasn’t a ride?

Didn't people frequently grumble about that very thing? I certainly heard it often.

 

[Skold]

I wonder if they're going to clearly communicate to guests outside the queue that this isn't a ride.

Did they actually come out and say this isn't a "ride"? What is the definition there? Sitting down? Is Manta a "ride"? Is that new SeaWorld surf coaster?

Do you need to move? What about Minions front row then?

Yep, being pedantic on purpose. Of course this is a ride.

I mean, this is more than Shrek was and most guests thought that Shrek was a ride going in. The queue video that's been looping recently (with full audio) lets guests know it's a shooter type attraction, which is all they need to know. It shows animations of what the attraction is like.

Does anyone have audio or a video of the queue video?

 

[shiekra38]

The greeter, App, guide maps, and website will probably all help to clarify what it is

However, you will still have people coming up and asking whether or not it goes upside down

Which IMO is totally fine

There is a certain amount of surprise that attractions like this like to conceal until you're actually on them
