Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem (USF)

[Cecilia]

Well, I guess I know what my mission for this week's trip will be... going to keep my camera ready.

From my friend:

Considering it's a technical run it was still pretty fantastic. The only issue was the queue pacing was off but the ride itself was wonderful. Super adorable. Omg the end dancing was wonderful.

[For clarification] Nono not at all the queue is fantastic the technical aspect of it though was just a bit slow. [...] I'm not sure about softs [next week].

I've been excited about this ride forever and I wasn't disappointed at all. It's definitely an experience! [...] Everything about it is wonderful. Especially the uniform.

I think I'll be going next week once I get my AP renewed.

 

[ReelJustice]

Exciting!

AHH I can't wait for opening

A few of my friends that work there that went on it said they didn't like it. They said it is overrated and doesn't live up to the hype that was generated for the ride. Most of them agreed that they all liked Neutron much better.

I'm going to need their opinion on the film.

How can it be overrated when it hasn't even been rated yet?:bonk:

I assume it is in regards to the amount of hype that has been behind this ride on the internet and the four tweets that made the ride out to be pristine. I'm going to remain excited for this attraction and save my opinion for when I get out and ride it.

Assuming your friends did go on it Universal can't please everybody.

It's going to be a good ride. They didn't spend 9 months on crap.

And let's be honest, Neutron was pretty terrible. Thinking that was better gives me pause on their opinions anyway.

I actually really liked Neutron. It did what it was intended to do, show a bunch of cartoon characters and bounce around. Not a spectacle but a fun ride none the less. I feel that DM will be similar and after watching the movie again last week it has a ton of potential to be an extremely fun ride.

:iagree: with JungleSkip. Universal puts a lot into researching things before planning it.
plus minions are cute as hell lol

I was the first person in line for TM preview. I really enjoyed it. Ended up getting to ride it four times and each time it got better.

 

[John321]

^ glad to hear that.

i know you aren't allowed to say much but i have one worry: whats the "dance party" like at the end that has been referred to many times?

dancing makes me so uncomfortable. (i dont do it ever, im not even going to dance at my own wedding)

its my least favorite part of the new BMG show. i just stand there feeling awkward at the end while everyone is dancing.

is this going to be the same for me? am i going to stand there feeling awkward while everyone else is dancing? assuming i can freely walk away since im off the ride at that point do i miss anything by leaving?

[Alissamaried]

I am so so so so excited for this now. I'm going to go twice next week instead of only once. I hope its soft opened one of the days I go!

Also I'm totally excited for the dance party, too. I love the minions so much.

Also just did an advanced search on google to snoop around to see if anyone wrote a review and Blazin' 102.3 Tallahassee's radio station page has a story about the summer concert series, also mentioning other things happening in the park and it says its now open.

"Each concert is included with your Universal Studios admission. Plus, you’ll experience rides and attractions that put you right into the action of your favorite movies and TV shows. There’s all-new excitement this year with the premiere of Universal’s Superstar Parade, Universal’s Cinematic Spectacular–100 Years of Movie Memories nighttime show, and the hilarious new 3-D ride, Despicable Me Minion Mayhem now open."

Softs will be on next week as one of the attendants told me. They're shooting to start anytime between Tuesday to Friday, but Friday is absolute d-day for softs.
