I’ll introduce some details about “despicable me minion mayhem”.

・waiting time
This ride was just opened recently so waiting time is very long. Especially on weekends and public holidays you have to wait for a long time.

We waited there for 3 hours on Saturday in June.

Now waiting time is getting become longer even weekdays because of summer vacation for students from the end of July to the end of August.(The average waiting time is more than 2 hours! It includes the vacant time just before the end of this ride attraction.)

If you don’t have enough time to wait, you had better go there on weekdays after summer vacation season. 

Or on rainy day tend to be a few people. (Although there are cases where show attractions, ride attractions and parades will be stopped due to inclement weather such as strong winds or heavy rains.)

If you don't have enough time, you had better get Universal Express Pass (Pay. The pass is to reduce your waiting time. You need also Studio Pass (entry ticket).)

・What is this ride like?
To tell the truth, this attraction is made by refurbishing “back to the future” attraction.

So the ride or vehicle is similar to previous 8-passenger De Lorean. (Although it is completely renewal.)

After boarding, the ride goes up and it will be surrounded by dome-shaped screen like planetarium.

This is the story that you join the training to be a minion. You have to run and hop with Gru’s three daughters. You can also see lots of minions.

・Notes and limit:
Guests must be at least 122 cm tall (if unaccompanied) to experience this attraction, or at least 102 cm tall if accompanied by an escort. 

This is a Child Switch attraction. This is not single rider attraction.

It is not a looping ride attraction. This attraction’s moving isn't as strenuous as “Spider man” attraction.

But this ride attraction move strenuously compare to 4-D theater.(Dragon ball・Z・the ・real:June/30th/2017~October/1st/2017 A.M.only)Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure・the ・real:une/30th/2017~October/1st/2017 P.M.only)
