This has me really curious to see what the final product will look like! Although I'll say it again, it's kinda sad in my eyes that the queue is getting more work done than the actual RIDE.
Well, USH's Facebook page officially announced Despicable Me Minion Mayhem......shocker -_- . They still haven't confirmed the placement, but we're not stupid. They HAVE confirmed 2014 though, as we've started to predict based on the construction going on.
"It's true, the mischievous Minions are coming to Universal Studios Hollywood in 2014! Announcing, Despicable Me Minion Mayhem! Share the news!"

^They were trying to push for this Summer, from what I understand, but I guess the fire caused some delays. Maybe we can get as a surprise Christmas gift, but I'm not going to hold out.

Well, just as expected, we're getting a clone haha. I'm still curious how they'll 1. Utilize the main show/ride building (if there will be one ride room, screen larger than Florida etc) and 2. How the entire building will be themed. I hope most of it will get a facade and we won't get a little house facade plopped on the entrance....
I'm still hesitant to believe anything about the dance party being confirmed till i see it happen. We know how universal can be about changing their minds at the last minute.

Would be a shame if we didn't get the dance party. After all, our building is theoretically larger. Any possibility they could add a section to it?
Might be difficult, given how customized the building was to Terminator's design.

I've been told in a release that our version will have a few "surprises" - whatever that means. Looking into it, but you can view the entire presser here:

I'm curious what these USH specific surprises may be. I have my doubts it'll be anything major. Still curious if it will indeed be one or two theaters, what the exterior will look like in it's entirety, and what they mean by " specially designed 3D Minion goggles. " .

I was just thinking that a couple minutes ago! I'm more curious for how they'll build the ride than the actual ride itself. That kinda sucks, hu?

Speaking about the queue, I wonder if they're attempting to enclose a large bulk of it.
I'm also interested in the location of the entrance. They're working on Cyber Grill, but how well integrated is that building with the rest of the Terminator venue? Could they draw a path?

Regarding the picture with the crane infront of Universal, I hear it may be for the removal of the LN2(liquid nitrogen) tank from the T2 theater as it needs to go before any further construction can be done. . https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151548771619851&set=a.383436794850.162251.335568104850&type=1&theater

Can't really tell on my phone what that is. Does it maybe have to do with adding further structural support to the parking structure? Probably not, seems like the wrong spot. What do those black things look like?
