With an enticing blend of interactive gaming, immersive sets, and beloved characters, this new attraction promises to deliver endless moments of diabolical fun for guests of all ages.

A Villainous Challenge: Illumination’s Villain-Con Minion Blast

Located at the entrance to Minion Land, Illumination’s Villain-Con Minion Blast is a one-of-a-kind blaster attraction that takes guests on a thrilling journey through the world of the Minions. As soon as you step into the attraction, you’ll find yourself transported to Villain-Con, the biggest convention for villains worldwide. The ultimate challenge awaits – prove your villainous prowess to join the notorious supervillain group, the Vicious 6, featured in the hit film “Minions: Rise of Gru.”

Equipped with the “E-Liminator X” blaster, guests compete against friends, family, and fellow visitors to cause mayhem and destruction, earning points along the way. Your blaster comes loaded with Freeze Rays, Banana Bombs, Explosive Nunchucks, and more, giving you the power to unleash your inner villain. As you glide through the experience on a moving pathway, you’ll encounter each member of the Vicious 6, voiced by the original cast, in settings inspired by their characters, including Belle Bottom, Stronghold, Nun-Chuck, Jean Clawed, and Svengeance.

But there’s more! Villain-Con Minion Blast offers a connected gameplay experience via The Official Universal Orlando Resort App. Sync your blaster to the app with a tap, and take your game to the next level. Track your scores, embark on special missions, and unlock evil perks and powerful blasts to gain more points and digital collectibles. The fun doesn’t end there – this digital experience connects to your Universal Guest Account within the Universal Orlando app, enhancing your in-park experience and unlocking additional digital-to-physical world benefits.
