Despicable Me Minion Mayhem — Attraction in West Hollywood

My son had a blast at Despicable Me Minion Mayhem, a 3D motion simulator ride that takes you on a hilarious and heartwarming adventure with Gru, his daughters, and the Minions. The ride starts in Gru's home, where he recruits you for his latest scheme: turning you into a Minion. You then board a Minion Transformation Pod and enter his super-villain laboratory, where things go awry and you end up on a wild ride through his gadgets and experiments. The animation is crisp and colorful, the motion is smooth and immersive, and the humor is spot-on. The ride is suitable for all ages, as long as you meet the height requirement of 40 inches. The ride also has a single rider line and a Universal Express option, which can save you some time on busy days.

After the ride, you can enjoy the interactive Minion-inspired dance party, where you can boogie with your favorite yellow creatures. You can also explore Super Silly Fun Land, an outdoor play area inspired by the seaside carnival from the first movie. There, you can find a wet and dry playground, a mini coaster, a carousel, and a game zone. You can also shop for Minion merchandise at Super Silly Stuff, or grab a bite at Gru's Lab Cafe.

Despicable Me Minion Mayhem is a must-do attraction for fans of the movies, or anyone looking for a fun and family-friendly ride. It is one of the highlights of Universal Studios Hollywood, and I highly...

This is a fun 3D ride that caters more to children obviously but pretty fun overall for everyone...

The waiting room right before you enter the ride has some pretty cool props to hit up on the gram before you enter. There's a mini movie introduction before you enter the room for the experience itself. It's cute and funny for all ages.

When you walk into the ride room, you put on 3D glasses and sit in a motion simulator that seats 4. All the motion simulators face a giant screen that plays the adventure. The pairing of the simulator and the giant movie screen is on point and choreographed well. The 3D glasses didn't enhance the experience as much as I thought it would but it didn't hinder it either.

The story theme is that the whole audience is turned into minions. You go through minion training and get caught up into an adventure with the kids saving a present for Gru in the minion factory. The minions being goofy minions really make this ride fun.

The express pass is a must for this ride. If you waited a long time to get in you might be pretty disappointed as it's a pretty short experience overall. Get that express pass...

Super cute 2D motion simulator ride. The ride entrance is Gru’s house, complete with the purple front door and space craft car parked in the carport. Get set for a fun filled adventurous ride with Gru, Margo, Agnes, Edith, and the minions.

I had an express pass, so there was no wait. Right when I walked in, I was in the foyer to Gru’s house. Then I walked through a queue that lead to Gru’s living room. The design detail was super cool. Luved the family tree drawing and faux mounted taxidermy heads. The girls appear on the house camera video explaining to use that we will be trained as minions. We are then lead to an adjoining room which is Gru’s lab. Gru explains that he has a plan to change us humans into minions and anybody unwilling will be shoot with the fart gun. Minion farts smell like bananas?!? Next you are lead into the ride room. Each vehicle seats four.

Another cool thing is that the original movie cast members voice...
