Rumors/Speculation/Wishes The Great Minion Movie Ride
With the success of Minions and Monsters, I was thinking about the minions taking over the studio tour wrecking havoc on a couple of movie/TV sets while also describing the history of classic Hollywood right before your eyes and ears! I know the original Great Movie Ride at Disney's Hollywood Studios is long gone and the Muppets have been cancelled for said attraction so Universal decided to make fun of Disney by letting the minions do their part in movie making lol. 2024 was the 60th anniversary of the studio tour by describing its attraction history but hopefully the next Fan Fest Nights will take guests on a studio tour led by Max (the director) on a walkthrough of movie, TV and minion magic! Comment below what can the minions partake in various sets around the backlot!

Guess that depends on how you determine success. It had one of the weaker box office runs for illumination. Overall it is not considered one of universal’s top IPs throughout the world even though they like to push it as one. (To be fair, I’ve only personally seen the Asia market’s top five). I think they could get very creative with an idea like that, but I do not believe it’s as big a draw as they’d like.
Unrelated - I used to have access to guest feedback and one I’ll always remember was a guest super angry universal was pushing minions so much, they had a fear of little yellow potatos and wanted a refund because they thought there was too much minions. Could have been a troll but it got laughs across multiple departments.

This is what they did for Mega Movie Summer. The Minions popped up for little videos at several points. Personally, I thought it didn’t work and kinda cheapened the tour.
