I got a ruby express pass because this ride shut down 80% of the way through and I got to skip a 90 minute line for Hagrids with the pass. Villain-Con is a 10/10 ride for me for this reason lol
I visited shortly after official open and rode about 6 times in 2 days. While I've heard that other people encounter a lot of glitches, this was not the case for me. As far as the ride being confusing, I think that's part of the point. Minions are all about mayhem. I like the different pointers for each gun, it's far less confusing than buzz or mib, where everyone has a red lazer. As for the learning curve being a disadvantage for first time riders, this applies to all shooting dark rides. This ride has more opportunities for people who have already ridden a few times to learn the game even better, which improves rerideablility for passholders and repeat guests. While the gun being handheld rather than mounted has the disadvantage of being heavy for guests, I like the additional mobility to reach targets, which you don't get on buzz lightlear or toy story. Also my arms get way more tired from constantly pulling the string on toy story than from carrying the gun on minions. If I had more trouble with glitches, or disliked the IP, I might have a more negative view of the ride, but as things stand I think this is a great ride, which I will continue to reride every visit.
I just didnt like having to stand in line then stand on a dot with my feet together holding a gun that is very awkward
sleepover activitys video we need it
Great video ! I haven’t experienced it myself but it look interesting
"and unlike Toy Story Mania, it's unclear ?????? points."
I just couldn't make out what you're saying there.
For me, shooting dark rides live and die off their controls. If I can't figure out where I'm aiming and what I'm aiming at, it's a dud. This is why I think Toy Story Mania is pretty much the pinnacle of the ride genre.
How do you get a villain badge in universal studios hollywood OK.
I rode this once. It was... OK? I've been a fan of lightgun games since I first tried Duck Hunt ~30 years ago, but on VillainCon I struggled to tell how well I was shooting and if my shots were even landing where I was aiming. After a bit, I determined where my aiming reticle was and relied on just moving that around instead of actually aiming the gun. MiB is much more immersive and I actually feel like I'm aiming my gun instead of just moving a cursor around and pulling the trigger when it winds up over a target.
And how are kids meant to hold the blaster?

I am so excited that villain con is open in universal studios hollywood I want to go too Universal Studios Hollywood for I can meet the minions and Gru & Margo Edith also Agnes OK. and go to the despicable me minion mayhem OK.
I want to go too Universal Studios Hollywood for I can meet the minions and go to villain con or minion Cafe and minion land OK even bake my day and freeze Ray Pops OK and Pop a nana OK and illumination OK. and Gru & Margo Edith also Agnes OK. and go to the despicable me minion mayhem OK.
The idea of needing to learn how a ride works by going on it multiple times is insane.
That is nice they open DreamWorks land and Halloween Horror Nights and also fast and furious even secret life of pets and jurassic world also donkey Kong rollcoaster is coming to universal studios hollywood OK.
Yet to go, for me, it's a high capacity people mover.
Tiana's bayou Adventure is going to suck ass
Yea, it kinda looks sucks.... We only waited 5 minutes so it wasn't bad for the wait. I'd be disappointed if I waited longer
to me it's look too generic just a giant video game if you ask me
I honestly would rather ride Jimmy fallon than minion blast and I despise that ride
Fast and furious is so bad it’s insulting
