Universal Orlando Announces Opening Date for New Minion Land

Universal Orlando Resort announced that Minion Land on Illumination Avenue would open to the public on August 11.

Minion Land was created in partnership between Universal Creative and Illumination, with the area bringing the popular film franchise to life. Currently in preview for guests, the land at Universal Studios Florida mixes Minion mischief with diabolical fun.

Universal Orlando’s new land expands upon the Despicable Me Minion Mayhem attraction to include a collection of humorous adventures inspired by Illumination’s beloved Minions.

Earlier this month, the theme park announced new details for Illumination’s Villain-Con Minion Blast blaster game. Located at the entrance to Minion Land, the attraction blends immersive sets, interactive game-based technology, custom animations and an original storyline to create a one-of-a-kind blaster attraction where guests can put their villainous skills to the ultimate test.

Upon entering the attraction, guests will be transported to Villain-Con, where the headlining event is a challenge to see who has what it takes to become the newest member of the notorious supervillain group, the Vicious 6, voiced by the original cast from the film, including Danny Trejo, Lucy Lawless and Jean-Claude Van Damme.

In addition, Minion Land will boast a unique dining experience that features themed food and drink offerings from Illumination’s Minion Cafe, Pop-A-Nana, Freeze Ray Pops and Bake My Day.

The land will also feature the new Evil Stuff retail store and the outdoor Illumination Theater façade, where visitors can meet and interact with characters like the Minions, Gru, Margo, Edith and Agnes.
