Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem Ride is now OPEN at Universal Studios Hollywood!

We spent an awesome Sunday Fun Day at Universal Studios to check out the brand new Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem ride! Despite the 70 minute wait for the ride, it was WELL worth it & we had a blast. Universal Studios is so clever & futuristic with their 3D attractions how they give such a fantastic illusion & feeling that you’re going upside down, up & down & getting attacked, yet the whole time, you’re sitting a car not on a track at all, just simply experiencing all these effects from your parked car & an amazing 3D screen.

We even had time for the tram ride, Mummy roller coaster, Jurassic Park (In the front row…with soaked pants after!), The Simpsons ride & one of our favorites, the Water World show. Here are some pictures highlighting the fun!

Universal Studios continues their deal that’s so irresistible; Buy a day, get a pass good for the rest of 2014! 😉 I am loving mine & hope you check it out, too. And, just for the record, while I do work with many companies, I am not at all affiliated with Universal Studios, I just love to have fun here & share it with you all! xo

    I went on the tour many years ago, around 2006. It was so fun. Gotta go again. Thanks for the great pics.
