Guests will be able to earn points by using their blasters as much as they can to create mayhem and destruction. The Vicious 6 will be voiced by Danny Trejo and Lucy Lawless, as well as Jean-Claude Van Damme.
Villain-Con Minion Blast is also the first Universal Orlando experience to offer a connected gaming experience through the official Universal Orlando Resort App. By connecting their blaster with the app, competitors can track their score, embark on missions and unlock evil perks, extra powerful blasts and help them earn digital collectibles.
This new attraction is just one of many exciting experiences in Minion Land. The land features an exclusive dining area, a variety of eateries, and shopping and entertainment options inspired by Illumination films and characters.
The Illumination Theater’s outdoor facade is a great place to interact and meet characters such as the Minions and Gru. Margo, Edith and Agnes are also available.
