Villain-Con Minion Blast (General Discussion)

[Alicia]

Will there also be a preshow video when we enter the building before we get on the walkway?

May be booths for various villain gadgets in there.

Those will likely be like MK where you see the MK weaponry being assembled.

I literally never imagined this would only use up 1 theater. I'm even having trouble picturing it. Even though I didn't think there would be a 2nd floor, I did picture changes in elevation. Is that not part of it either?

 

[MagdolHauntsMe]

Pretty sure we’re auditioning to be the new member of the Vicious 6, but the Minions may get in the way, in the best way.

Looking at the banners, there are only 5 members shown. So that might be a clue. If that's the case, I hope there's some sort of effect where we can see ourselves in a mirror with some sort of "villain overlay". I don't know how they'd do it, but it could be pretty funny.

They could use the same tech used for SLOP in Hollywood. I like this idea.

 

[MagdolHauntsMe]

Yes. Something like SOLP. Then that could make the ride re-rideable. Maybe you'd have a choice or be assigned one of several types of weapon to use, and you could have one of many different villains randomly assigned as your persona. Obviously, these decisions have already been made. But there's a lot they can (and hopefully do) do with this little ride to make it fun and re-ridable.

It’s a shooting gallery ride, that’s the re-ride factor.

 

[GA-MBIT]

I imagine it'll have the same level of story as Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin. Preshow loop with talking Buzz and then a constantly moving shoot-em-up with little looping scenes scattered through to make a broad story.

 

[MagdolHauntsMe]

Yes--I get that that will likely be the draw and reason to re-ride. Just throwing out some other pie-in-the-sky ideas of what else might have been neat.

AHHHHH got you! Ok. Well, how about app based score tracking and being able to customize what you shoot?

The old Monsters Cafe will be three facades/concepts all from the movies. One already exists in an overseas park...

[Nico]

Based on the new framework, could the entrance be at the corner diagonal to MM?

Minion Cafe entrance same side as Monsters Cafe. New treats shop, "Bake My Day," on that corner closer to Minions rides... Maybe.

 

[SpatulaShack]

I'm still trying to figure out how Transformers and Rip Ride Rockit are going to work essentially sitting in an entirely Minions themed land? Transformers now part of New York?

 

[Cup_Of_Coffee]

Gru is going to recruit the Transformers and claim them as his idea.
