Universal Orlando has finally announced the rumored Minions Villain-Con attraction.
The upcoming attraction will open in the summer of 2023 at Universal Studios Florida within the new Minion Land on Illumination Ave. This new area will also feature the fan-favorite Despicable Me Minion Mayhem attraction, a new Minion Café, and other surprises inspired by popular characters from Illumination’s blockbuster franchises.
The attraction will be called Illumination’s Villain-Con Minion Blast and it’s being touted as an interactive, blaster game experience. Villain-Con Minion Blast combines innovative screen technology, state-of-the-art gaming interactivity, and elaborate physical sets to create a one-of-a-kind, game-based adventure. Guests will grab an interactive blaster and step onto a motion-based pathway to put their skills to the test. They’ll wind and glide through various scenes where they earn points by blasting a variety of items and causing as much mayhem and destruction as possible.
Villain-Con Minion Blast is replacing Shrek 4-D. Universal Orlando gains another new attraction, and this time it’s from one of its most prominent franchises in Despicable Me/Minions.
Villain-Con Minion Blast will open in Summer 2023.
