If it's true they won't be using the extra space for HHN, let's get working on an indoor queue. That outdoor queue is bare, cheap and hot.
Any recent updates on how this has affected Minion Mayhem’s wait times? Hoping it’s spread crowds out a bit.
Yep. Touring Plans actual line times have been indicating the same.Pretty significant, it used to average 45-60, but it's been averaging 30 recently. (Edit: it is HHN season, but if you look at data in Thrill-Data back in August waits for it dropped once Villains opened)
I've been monitoring Villain Con line times for the past few weeks. Generally, according to Touring Plans posted and actual stand by times, it's usually around the lowest line times at either park. That's kind of rare for a brand new attraction. Guess it's not all that popular. That might keep them from building any more similar attractions at their other parks....and DM almost always has much longer waits than Villain Con now.
Since Villain Con seemingly has really great capacity, that isn't all that surprising. The real metric that interests me is if the wait times for Minion Mayhem have been lower since the new ride opened.I've been monitoring Villain Con line times for the past few weeks.

I hear it's always a walk-on.It's tough to use that metric as a barometer as Villain Con has better hourly capacity than Mayhem.
I agree I loved it, but my kids prefer the other minion ride more. I was surprised, so maybe it doesn't appeal to as many people? I was shocked my kids didn't like it more.This is a huge queue, even longer than when it was Shrek. So I'd guess Universal expected larger crowds. It seems to be fairly high capacity, but it's not so high that the queue should be empty mid afternoon. So I don't understand why it's not more popular. Heck, it's one of the most FUN attractions in either park. Thumbs up to Universal Creative for putting together such an entertaining attraction on a small budget....One of the highlights of our vacation.
Yeah, I was honestly surprised by how little my sister and I liked it (we’re both Minionheads, as the kids say). Glad others are enjoying it, though!I agree I loved it, but my kids prefer the other minion ride more. I was surprised, so maybe it doesn't appeal to as many people?

I have complicated feelings. Those being: This is just a C-ticket. It isn't a gate-crasher that needed execution as such. However, I think this ride stinks out loud. It's not fun, largely because the gameplay is lousy. So, while I think it partially failed its initial mission (fun for the whole family with high capacity) I have a hard time harshly condemning it because its ambitions were limited.Has there been any other ride that lost its luster faster than Villain-Con? I remember being somewhat excited to do it when it first opened up, now I barely look at it. Should've been a simple dark ride.
I still like to do it a couple times every time I go to the park. If the line is short of courseHas there been any other ride that lost its luster faster than Villain-Con? I remember being somewhat excited to do it when it first opened up, now I barely look at it. Should've been a simple dark ride.
