What is Despicable Me Minion Mayhem?
Enter through the front door of Gru’s house to find Universal Studios Florida’s silliest attraction, where you’ll be recruited to “become” a Minion and accompany Margo, Edith, and Agnes on a motion-simulator theater ride with a unique storyline. Things never seem to go as planned in the supervillain’s laboratory, however, so keep an eye out for danger in this madcap adventure.
Where is Despicable Me Minion Mayhem located?
In Production Central, which is in Universal Studios Florida.
Despicable Me Minion Mayhem – height restrictions and other factors
Height requirement is 40 inches (though guests under 40 inches may ride in the stationary seating); Express Pass access; single-rider line may be available. Please note that guests may remain seated in a standard wheelchair in the stationary seating without the need to transfer, and service animals and most medical devices are allowed.
Despicable Me Minion Mayhem – what you wish you knew before you experienced it
To fully enjoy this attraction, watch at least the first Despicable Me film before you ride, and don’t forget to look for the Minion dance party as you exit through the gift shop. Because of its front-and-center location in the park, the line for Minion Mayhem builds quickly – try to ride first thing in the morning or towards the end of the day.
How scary is Despicable Me Minion Mayhem?
We would rank Minion Mayhem two out of five bananas in terms of scariness. The motion simulator is smooth, and the movement is basic; however, just like in the movies, there is quite a bit of cartoon Minion violence.
What was Despicable Me Minion Mayhem’s opening date?
July 2, 2012
Fun Fact
This attraction debuted in July of 2012 as a 3D motion-simulator ride, but almost exactly seven years later, it was converted to 2D (and motion-sickness sufferers rejoiced!).

I love this ride with a passion. The queue was EPIC and now the ride itself. I loved the minions and this is my favorite ride.
I like this ride a lot but I loved the Jimmy Neutron ride(the ride that Minion Mayhem replaced) WAY more!
...but Minions is essentially the same, only with theming that is more relevant to modern audiences.
My kids really seem to be in the Minion obsession phase right now(which I can handle, because I really like the Despicable Me movies). So when I saw some Minions in a park commercial, I knew I should order a stay at the resort area. We went on the ride first thing in the morning, and we all really enjoyed it! The idea of becoming Minions sounded pretty cool, and the main plot with Gru and the girls was adorable. My only complaint is that the vehicles were a little too nauseating for someone my age, but we still really enjoyed it none the less.
