Despicable Me Minion Mayhem at Universal Orlando opening in July

Universal Orlando resort's new blockbuster ride, Despicable Me Minion Mayhem, will officially open at Universal Orlando Resort on July 2. 

The all-New 3-D ride will take guests on a hilarious and heartwarming adventure with their favorite characters from the blockbuster film Despicable Me.  

This brand-new ride combines the outrageous humor and memorable characters Gru, Margo, Edith, Agnes and an army of mischievous minions with an all-new storyline, incredible new animation and the latest 3-D technology to create a wildly hysterical theme park experience. 

The ride begins when guests enter Gru, Margo, Edith and Agnes' home and learn they are being recruited to become minions.  After picking up 3-D "minion goggles" in the living room and being scanned for "human germs" in the Minionization Prep Room, guests board Minion Transformation Pods to begin their training.  Things don't go as planned and guests find themselves on an unforgettable adventure through Gru's lab that's filled with laughter, chaos and tons of minions.   

The ride experience is capped off with an exciting dance party where guests can show off their best moves with the minions.  With a sparkling disco ball hanging overhead, the interactive celebration features large projection screens so that guests can see themselves partying with the minions to the legendary disco tune "Boogie Fever." 

Despicable Me Minion Mayhem is located in Universal Studios Florida.
