Despicable Me Minion Mayhem is a high-energy motion-simulator attraction that plunges you into Gru’s chaotic world alongside his mischievous Minions. After a playful pre-show with familiar characters, you’re “recruited” and transformed into a Minion trainee for a wild training mission gone hilariously wrong. The ride uses a large theater-style vehicle and 3D-style visuals to create swoops, drops, and zany near-misses that feel family friendly yet exciting. Humor, colorful animation, and a lively soundtrack keep the tone light, and a fun post-show area lets kids burn off extra energy.
