Universal Studios Orlando has officially revealed its new Minions additions, with plans for Illumination’s Villain-Con Minion Blast to open at the park next summer.

Based around Villain-Con, the fictional supervillain convention first depicted in the 2015 animated film Minions, the attraction will see guests take part in a competition to join the ranks of The Vicious 6, a group of supervillains featured in Minions: The Rise of Gru.

Universal says that the attraction will combine screen technology, gaming interactivity and physical sets to create “a one-of-a-kind, game-based adventure where guests encounter immersive environments, nefarious villains and tons of mischievous Minions”.

The attraction will be part of a new Minion Land that will also include the existing Despicable Me Minion Mayhem attraction, and a new Minion Café.
