Created in partnership between Universal Creative and Illumination, Minion Blast and Minion Land invites guests to step into the beloved world of the Minions franchise like never before. Located at the entrance to Minion Land at the front of the park, Villain-Con Minion Blast blends sets, interactive game-based technology, custom animation, and an original storyline to create a one-of-a-kind attraction where guests can put their villainous skills to the test.

In addition to Villain-Con Minion Blast, Minion Land also features: Illumination’s Minion Cafe – a new eatery run by the Minions featuring family-friendly fare; Bake My Day – a retail location and bakery featuring a unique selection of Minion-themed sweet treats; Pop-A-Nana – a kiosk featuring banana-flavored popcorn; and Freeze Ray Pops – a walk-up window serving refreshingly colorful frozen treats. Guests can also stop by the outdoor Illumination Theater to meet characters such as the Minions, Gru, Margo, Edith, and Agnes from the Despicable Me movies, and Rosita, Gunter, and Johnny from Sing.
