Despicable Me Minion Mayhem

This ride is pretty cool but I didn’t think that it was anywhere near as good as some of the other attractions at universal. It was still a fun time and I would ride it again.

I had such great hopes for this ride since it came out. I finally got to experience it last night and I was slightly disappointed.
The story line was cute but the mechanics were just not what I was expecting. You are seated in a cart similar to the Simpsons ride and it is displayed on a large screen. However, unlike the Simpsons ride, you can see everyone sitting all around you in separate cars and it just make it that much less believable.
The ride itself also was quite jerky and was fairly short. This ride would not have been worth it if I had to wait in line for more than 20mins. Luckily, I attended the radio stations private grinchmas event so I did not have to wait.
Nice to go on once for the experience, but I would not wait in line just for it on future visits.

Love this show. It is one of my favorites in Universal studio. Everyone should try. So much fun, great innovation and minions are too cute

Visited 11÷6÷15
First time on this ride. I liked the movie, but I don’t like the ride that much.
She sat us in the front, close to the screen which I did not like. I thought we were to close.
The picture looks great. You wear 3D glasses. It was pretty good.

This is a fun ride that is good for both adults and kids! The line is usually not too long, however, the intro into the ride is a bit long. It’s a 4D motion simulator ride, where you smell bananas, get some water on you, and become a minion. The ride is good length where the wait is worth the ride. This ride is located in the kids area. Around the area is French scenery.
At the end of the ride when leaving is the dance room where you can see yourself dance on screen! You’ll enjoy this ride as long as you don’t hate the minions!

I do like Despicable Me and the minions so I enjoyed the ride. I actually haven’t seen the Minions movie or Despicable Me 2, but I enjoyed the first movie. The ride I guess takes place sometime before, after, or during the movies. It really is a cute ride. If you’re looking for a thrill seeker this probably won’t help, but if you are looking for a family fun ride. This is it!

Do you or your family love minions? If the answer is yes then go on this ride! The line in the morning tends to be longer than in the afternoon. You sit in a giant room and feel like you are on a roller coaster ride with the minion crew. It’s awesome. Don’t come to universal and not try it!

Overall a pretty fun ride. The line in general isn’t that long. The ride kind of resemble the smartphone game which the minion run in a straight line and end up going into trouble.
They turn you into a minion, don’t ask me how, you will see.
The boogy room was fun in the end!

My brother hates minions so anything minions I have to take a photo and send to him. So I was pretty excited in a sadistic sister way to see that there was a minions ride here at Universal. So I dragged my date to go do it. Spoilers to come I guess?
First off you have to listen to the longest story I’ve ever heard in order to get onto the ride. Who knew rides had so much drama? Gru wants you to become a minion and sprays banana farts all over you. The three girls want to make you into a minion so they decide to train you. One of them is sad because Gru forgot their anniversary of their adoption. OMG it’s so much drama, so little time! Presents get lost, presents get found… Standing here listening to it was just… boring, to be honest. Maybe this is how they keep the line going? I’d like to be able to just ride a ride with no back story and get it.
Minions ride is a 3D experience, but it’s not as immersive as the Simpsons or Transformers. You are in a giant room and there are TONS of other people doing it at the same time. I did not really feel so immersed in this experience and neither did my date. The guy next to me was screaming though, so I guess some people really like this ride!
I liked the little dance party area at the end where you turn in your 3D glasses.
All in all my brother probably hates me because I took a photo of every minion related thing I saw and sent it to him. But after visiting this ride I kind of get why he doesn’t like them: they are everywhere around the park. It’s a cute little yellow virus that spreads. Would probably not do this ride again.

Very cute and fun ride. Like 99% of the rides at Universal, this is a 3-​D experience. The whole ride last a fairly long time… so long, towards the end I actually started to feel sick (but that was due to riding one 3-​D ride after another… the line went pretty quick.
You’re seated in a huge room in front of a screen, but you were sat in groups of maybe 8? inside a pod that moved.
Definitely fun for kids and adults

Who wants to become a Minion??? If you do, walk right on in! As you are waiting in line, you will see TVs overhead with Q&As to see if you can are Minion material! Too cute! You will also need to pick up a pair of Minion Goggles. Although the goggles you get are for two eyes, you will see a video about the goggles that is pretty silly.
I never saw Despicable Me, but I did see Minions. I missed out on all the things about Gru, but with that said, I still enjoyed this simulator ride! It was really fun! Gru, even though he has a dark side, is really loving to his 3 adopted orphan girls. And, those cute little Minions are adorable, even though you can’t completely understand their gibberish.
During this ride, you will be transformed into a Minion. There is a panel on your car which indicates if you are a Human or a Minion. The question is, will there be a ton of Minions exiting into the park when the ride is over?
Just sit back and enjoy this Minion ride! This was my first time and I’m glad I got to experience it! This ride is good for young and young at heart!

Another 3D simulator ride… no surprise there=) Still, these things are getting pretty good with entertaining people while they are staging them in the line with interactive quizzes, videos, etc. I guess the days of standing in line and just talking about the anticipation of the ride are over. Or playing slap jack. Or just driving your parents insane with «how much longer until the ride?». Nowadays kids need constant stimulation with their ipads always on… it’s a feedback mechanism that is causing ADHD. I hope I’ve convinced you with my anecdotal story and zero scientific evidence.
Anyway coming off my soapbox the ride is fun and cute. I mean if you like minions and Despicable Me. Which I do. Despite being fully grown. Shut up. FREEZE RAY!

It’s a simulator/​3D ride. You go through the maze of a line, get 3D glasses, wait in another room while watching a video, then another staging area to watch another video that sets up the story of the ride. From there, they finally let you in. It’s a large auditorium with rows of seats — each group of seats lifts up and moves to the 3D video. It’s fun and funny. Good fun for the whole family. Not scary for the little ones. Even my niece who is afraid of most rides enjoyed it.

So much fun we rode it twice!

A light hearted ride which is great for all ages! I went in the evening so there wasn’t a long queue but be prepared to be turned into a minion! Your training starts as you walk into the lab doors!

This is currently the newest ride in the Universal Hollywood. It used to be the Terminator 2 3-​D. To be hornest I miss the terminator one a lot. I am fan of terminator, not really into Minion like many do. This ride is more tend for kids and family. While Terminator is more for teens and young adults.
I was surprise despite such new ride and close to the entrance. The waiting time is short was only 20 minutes in Sunday compare to other ride were well over 20 minutes. The ride take place the same room as before in Terminator. The seat can move goes up to few feet which is cool. There’s a giant screen which show the movie in 3D. There’s weren’t any 4d effect… The short animated movie is quite funny and many do enjoy it. However I still prefer terminator over this one in my opinion.

Bee-​do, BEE-​DO!
Fantastic ride for some family fun. Minion Mayhem is an experience guaranteed to thrill your 5 – 13 year old children. Adults may want to visit a chiropractor afterwards, but hey– it’s the price we pay for those precious smiles on our kids’ faces.
When you enter, there is a ramp that funnels the line to the 3D glasses. Then you are ushered into a giant «living room» type area. It’s completely decorated like the house in the Despicable Me movies. After some introduction you are moved into the next waiting area. (Yes, plenty of waiting to be had on this ride.) In this area, you are prepped, via a 4 – 5 minute video sequence, for your transformation into a minion. The video is cute and fun, but if you return for a 2^nd ride, you’ll find it annoying. Beware the fart cannon!
The ride itself is a quick, fun and jarring cruise into 3D fun. It’s comparable to the Star Wars ride at Disney, so if you’ve done that one you have a good idea what you’re in for.
Great ride overall. Fun, clever, and worth a visit. Be sure to get your photo taken with a minion before you enter!
5 stars!

Honestly I’ve never thought I’ll like the Minion’s ride. I was not a fan of this cartoon! But since when I got in the ride I really enjoy it! I think the ride is so cute)) it’s a good ride for whole family and adults will play after words like a kids believe me))
Don’t forget buy a delicious banana smoothy near buy the Minion’s ride!))

Quite silly but awesome 3d roller-​coaster ride. It is a simulation ride where they seat you and the seat moves with the screen.
The movie or the ride is designed nicely and you are constantly moving and falling here and there.

This is the latest attraction at Universal Studios Hollywood!
Located where Terminator 3D used to be. When entering the park, go left after House of Horrors and Blues Brothers stage. If you’re lucky, there will be live minions to take pictures with at the front.
I recommend coming here first since the lines can get long. The wait time went up to 110 minutes on a Sunday afternoon. Make sure the little one’s height is measured at the front before lining up!
There are plenty of TVs in line playing minion quizzes to help pass the time.
Once you get your minion goggles, your party is put into another line to watch a safety video and how to wear your goggles. You’re then led into another room where Gru and the girls explain that you’ll be going thru minion training. I won’t spoil it, but it’s entertaining! Make sure you take a shower before coming ;)
Just like the Simpsons and Transformers, this is a 3D ride. Each car has 8 seats (4 in front, 4 in back) and I spotted approximately 20 cars. Lots of bumps and jumps since you ARE training to be a minion! I don’t recommend riding if you’re easily prone to motion sickness. My nieces and nephew were screaming in excitement the whole entire time!
When the ride is over, you enter a «dance party» where you can see yourself on screen with minions! Universal also strategically placed the exit as an entrance into a gift shop with everything minions! FYI: A stuffed unicorn (the one that’s «so fluffy!») goes for $ 30.
Overall, very funny and cute ride for all ages. Don’t forget to line up here first before it gets too long!
