Despicable Me Minion Mayhem?! We had no idea either- but we have some details for you and some discounts from Universal Orlando for you ... 


Brian took some photos at the NEW Year to Be Hear Parade last month at Universal, also snapped some photos of the new ride and the fireworks and got this information from Universal...We just got a photo from Universal too we thought we should share:  Shaquille O'Neal Encounters Minions at Universal Orlando Resort


Yes, a new parade:
Universal’s Superstar Parade offers an entirely new form of interactive entertainment that gives guests and entire families the opportunity to join in the fun with some of their favorite characters – including the minions from the blockbuster animated adventure Despicable Me, E.B. from the hit comedy Hop, Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants and Dora & Diego. The parade features larger-than-life floats, state-of-the-art technology and hundreds of energetic street performers. 


A new Ride, Universal Orlando’s newest ride, Despicable Me Minion Mayhem

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.”


Also they have a new Fireworks/laser show!

Narrated by Academy Award®-winning actor Morgan Freeman, Universal’s Cinematic Spectacular – 100 Years of Movie Memoriescelebrates Universal Pictures’ iconic films. The most powerful and emotional moments are shown in crystal-clear clarity on cutting-edge waterfall screens within the Universal Studios lagoon – surrounded by colorful, dramatically synchronized fountains and pyrotechnics, all set to a memorable musical score. The experience takes guests on a journey through epic cinematic moments filled with heroes, horror, laughter, good versus evil and triumph.
