Universal Orlando Resort announced new details for Illumination’s
Villain-Con Minion Blast blaster game attraction scheduled to debut at the
theme park this summer.
Located at the entrance to the new Minion Land,
Illumination’s Villain-Con Minion Blast 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, featured in the hit film, “Minions: Rise of Gru.”
Throughout the competition, guests will use their blasters
to cause as much mayhem and destruction as possible to earn points. Visitors
will also experience each member of the Vicious 6, voiced by the original cast
from the film, including Danny Trejo, Lucy Lawless and Jean-Claude Van Damme.
Villain-Con Minion Blast will also be the first Universal
Orlando attraction to feature a connected gameplay experience via the official
Universal Orlando Resort app. By syncing their blaster to the app, contenders
can track their scores, embark on special missions, and unlock evil perks and
extra powerful blasts to help them gain more points and earn digital
collectibles.
The new attraction is one of the many experiences that await
in Minion Land, which features a unique dining location, various eateries and shopping
and entertainment offerings inspired by some of Illumination’s hit films and
characters.
Travelers can also stop by the outdoor Illumination Theater
facade to meet, greet and interact with characters like the Minions, Gru,
Margo, Edith, and Agnes.
