Minion Mayhem at Universal Studios

The new Despicable Me attraction opened today at Universal just in time for the busy summer season. For a few weeks now the ride has been open for technical rehearsals and today it officially opened. The wait time for the ride hovered around 80 mins throughout the day. Most of the other rides in Universal weren't all that bad.

 Minion's have taken over Universal.
