This attraction is Despicable

Universal’s Minion Mayhem is wacky, but surprisingly tender

For this month’s “Rode It! Loved It!” review (which is exclusively for paid subscribers), let’s go to Universal Studios–either Hollywood or Orlando will do–where you too could be turned into a Minion. What’s that? You’re not a paid subscriber? Well, get with the program! (Caution, the following may trigger a guilt trip.) Paid subscriptions are my only source of income here at the ad-free About Theme Parks, so your support of quality journalism–and me!–would be greatly appreciated.

Would you like being bonked on the head, zapped with a weapons-grade laser, and launched down an enormous slide onto a giant cactus tushy first? Of course you would! And I've got the perfect attraction for you. You can endure these motion-simulated calamities and many more at Despicable Me Minion Mayhem.
