History Ride / DespicableMeMinionMayhem

A fifth iteration of the ride, along with another Minion Park, has been announced for Universal Studios Singapore. It is expected to replace the ''Franchise/{{Madagascar}}'' area sometime in TheNewTwenties. (It was originally going to open in 2021, but was delayed due to the UsefulNotes/Covid19Pandemic)

* AdaptationExpansion: Hollywood's version of the attraction is much more extensive than its original Orlando counterpart. It includes a recreation of Gru's entire neighborhood as well as the Super Silly Fun Land park, which includes midway games, a small restaurant, a kids' play area, and a small ride.

Based on the ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe'' film series, the attraction features Gru (Creator/SteveCarell) seeking to create more of his Minions by outright enlisting everyday folk that he can transform into Minions, via a new device created by him and Dr. Nefario (non-speaking role[[note]]Voiced by Creator/RussellBrand in the first two films.[[/note]]), known as the "Minionizer." At the same time, he is also working on his ultimate present to Margo, Edith and Agnes (Creator/MirandaCosgrove, Dana Gaier and Elsie Fisher respectively) in honor of their first anniversary together as a family. This leads to him quickly rushing the guests through the Minionization process, and ultimately letting the girls be in charge of training the new Minions.

* BalefulPolymorph: Averted and subverted. The guests being turned into Minions, though it wasn't against their will. [[SubvertedTrope Unless you hate Minions.]]

* GratuitousDiscoSequence: The ride's DancePartyEnding has the "Boogie Fever" song from the first film showing up.

* UncertainDoom: At multiple points in the ride, some Minions are shown to be knocked down into the lab's many bottomless pits. What becomes of them is unknown.

* AdultFear: Margo, Edith, and Agnes at one point end up inside Gru's anti-gravity room, where they very nearly end up being crushed by the machinery.

* MythologyGag: During the scene in the anti gravity trash compactor, the rockets from [[Ride/TheFuntasticWorldOfHannaBarbera the previous two]] [[Ride/JimmyNeutronsNicktoonBlast incarnations of the ride]] can be seen among the rubble.

* FailureMontage: A brief one is shown when Gru plays clips of his earlier attempts at making the "Minion Gun" work.

* MixAndMatchCritters: More footage of Gru's failed Minion Gun tests show two volunteers being turned into Minion/Human hybrids, and another one into a Minion/Elephant hybrid.

* TestedOnHumans: Gru's "Minion Gun", as shown in his testing footage. Justified since the gun is ''meant'' for humans.

* TransformationRay: The "Minion Gun" that Gru uses to transform the riders into Minions.

A third version of the attraction opened at Universal Studios Japan on April 21, 2017, replacing ''Ride/BackToTheFutureTheRide''. This iteration of the ride has some minor differences from the first two, most notably featuring an extra safety video on how to board the ride vehicles. Japan's take on the ride also includes a surrounding "Minion Park" area that contains a candy store, midway games, and numerous photo-ops.

* AdultFear: Margo, Edith, and Agnes at one point end up inside Gru's anti-gravity room, where they very-nearly end up being crushed by the machinery.

* AlternateContinuity: The attraction is not meant to be canonical to the ''Despicable Me'' series, it's just a fun little side-diversion that takes some liberties with the films' continuity for the sake of the ride. This explains why Gru is openly embracing villainy in front of his daughters, among other inconsistencies.

* WolverinePublicity: Thanks to the Minions being [[EnsembleDarkHorse insanely popular]], the ride opened to standby waits of over an hour. This caused the ride to quickly become the second-most promoted attraction in Universal Orlando, right behind ''The Wizarding World of Film/HarryPotter''.
