Universal Orlando Resort Announces Villain-Con Minion Blast

Universal Orlando Resort has announced Illumination's Villain-Con Minion Blast, a first-of-its-kind family attraction inspired by the popular "Minions" franchise. 

The attraction, which will open in the Summer of 2023, will engage in loads of diabolical fun for kids, teens, and adults. It was developed in partnership between Universal's award-winning creative team and the acclaimed filmmakers from Illumination, this interactive, blaster game experience will invite guests to put their villainous skills to the test as they compete against each other in a bid to join the ranks of the franchise's most infamous supervillains. 

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 where guests encounter immersive environments, nefarious villains, and tons of mischievous Minions from Illumination's films in a whole new way. The world-class attraction transports guests to Villain-Con - the biggest criminal convention on the planet - to take part in an epic competition to see if they have what it takes to become the newest member of The Vicious 6, a notorious group of supervillains from the hit film, "Minions: The Rise of Gru." Guests who are up for the challenge 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. It's a unique, mischief-filled experience that's so much fun, it's a crime. 

The attraction will be located within the new Minion Land on Illumination Ave, near the fan-favorite Despicable Me Minion Mayhem attraction, a new Minion Café, and other surprises inspired by popular characters from Illumination's blockbuster franchises.
