Villain-Con Minion Blast (General Discussion)

[MrBlonde]

So..... we exit the convention to go shoot around blasters in 1960s Orlando?

It's henchmen recruiting. Strut your stuff to work for your own true villain!

I’d be down for a couple of scenes at Church Street and Rosie O’Grady’s.

I’m surprised it took Universal this long to tear down Shrek 4D and add more Minion stuff. I’m also glad Orlando isn’t getting the lame DreamWorks Theatre that Hollywood has.

If it were up to me, I would just tear down Minion Mayhem and build a dark ride attraction instead with a Super Silly Fun Land area around it like Hollywood has. I think that franchise deserves better than an outdated re-skinned simulator.

Honestly, saw the DreamWorks Theatre show for the first time in years and it's a really good show. Some really cool effects. I agree that Minions deserves a real ride, but the DW attraction wouldn't have been the worst replacement for Shrek

I did the DreamWorks Theatre for the first time yesterday, it’s good for what it is but at the same time the park already stacked with simulators and this is the lamest of the bunch. I prefer the idea of a “walk/stand through” attraction than another sit down and look at the screen attraction.

I personally place DMMM below just because it felt there was a bigger level of passion put into the DreamWorks Theatre

Well I think both attractions don’t hold up well so I won’t disagree. I’m just glad that USF no longer has two sit and watch attractions right next to each other in the front of the park anymore.

Have there been any rumors on the queue and /or facade improvements? Will they be going for a hybrid-style themed entrance like Minion Mayhem with some enhancements to the outdoor queue or something more (or less) involved?

Minions is so under utilized by Universal. I see many families show up all dressed in matching Minions outfits ... and all they get is an old simulator ride. It could support its own complete land.

Could this new Minions attraction open this summer? Wouldn't take long to demo the interior and install it (if it already has been built and tested in a warehouse somewhere).

Thinking 2023 = Minions, 2024 = Potter VR, 2025 = Big Kahuna

Originally Villain Con was for 22, but everything got pushed back apparently, rumored anyway, so now looking at early to mid 23 probably.

What’s Big Kahuna?

 

[Alicia]

What’s Big Kahuna?

A little place called Epic Universe probably

I honestly prefer the name Big Kahuna.

The yearly streak is broken. Has Universal finally lost their edge?!

Year after Diagon was also no new attractions.

 

[Cup_Of_Coffee]

Year after Diagon was also no new attractions.

Didn’t Sapphire open then though? We always got something from what I recall.

 

[Alicia]

Maybe we’ll get an Escape Room this year.

Minions is 2023. 2024 is still up in the air.

That's kind of stretching a new attraction . But if anything there counted it could be Strongwater Tavern ,,,...
But, all joking aside....Diagon was sooo good that, like god, Universal rested a bit longer than a day.
