Minion Land on Illumination Avenue will officially open to guests this week (Aug. 11) at Universal Studios Florida. Previously open in preview, the one-of-a-kind land expands upon the popular ‘Despicable Me Minion Mayhem’ attraction, bringing a new collection of humorous adventures inspired by the beloved Minions franchise.

In Illumination’s Villain-Con Minion Blast guests can blast their way to supervillain stardom. Blending immersive sets, interactive game-based technology, and an original storyline, the first-of-its-kind attraction puts guests’ villainous skills to the test to see if they have what it takes to become a member of the Vicious 6 – a notorious group of supervillains from the hit film, “Minions: The Rise of Gru.”

Guests can fuel up for the mayhem with a unique dining experience, Illumination’s Minion Café – a new eatery “run by the Minions”; plus Pop-A-Nana – a kiosk featuring banana-flavoured popcorn; Freeze Ray Pops – a walk-up window serving colourful frozen treats; and Bake My Day – a retail location and bakery featuring Minion-themed sweet treats.

Guests can also stop by the outdoor Illumination Theatre façade to meet, greet, and interact with the Minions, along with movie characters Gru, Margo, Edith, and Agnes, and Rosita, Gunter, and Johnny from the hit film “Sing.”
