Minions, assemble!
In case you didn’t know, Illumination’s Minion Land will be opening at Universal Studios Singapore on 14 February 2025 — yes, it’s still quite a long way more to go, but I’m already excited!
The new Minion Land in USS will feature all-new attractions inspired by the beloved Despicable Me and Minions franchise. Think: multiple Minions-inspired roller coasters, USS-exclusive Minions carousel, themed retail and dining experiences and so much more!
True Despicable Me fans will find this name — Super Silly Fun Land — very familiar. That’s right, it’s the iconic seaside carnival from the movie. Well, good news is, you’ll soon be able to experience the same fun that Gru, Minions and the girls had in the movie too!
The carnival will feature the Buggie Boogie which is the first-ever Minion dance party-themed carousel! The ride will have you seated in a fleet of space bugs and silly creatures, boogie-ing to popular hits, remixed by the Minions themselves — talk about silly fun, am I right?
Here, you’ll also find the Silly Swirly ride where you’ll hop into quirkily-styled vehicles and sore into the skies. If you successfully keep your eyes open throughout the ride, you’ll be able to catch magnificent views of the lagoon and the vibrant Super Silly Fun Land, you definitely don’t wanna miss that!
In true Minion fashion, of course we have to have something banana related here like the Ba-Na-Na CaBaNa!. This game is bananas — B-A-N-A-N-A-S — and that’s all we will say about the game.
But, of course, you simply can’t bring up Super Silly Fun Land without mentioning the iconic scene where Agnes goes absolutely berserk over the fluffy unicorn soft toy. The Space Killer game is modelled after the “Super Silly Space Killer” arcade game seen in the movie. And yes, you can definitely try your hand at this game and win Agnes’ fluffy plush unicorn.
Other attractions within the Super Silly Fun Land include the Super Hungry Food Stand — which features minion-themed snacks as seen in the movie — and Pop-A-Nana for exclusive popcorn flavours. While you’re there, keep an eye out for popular characters like Gru and the fan-favourite minions roaming around for photos!
Is it really Minion Land if it doesn’t have Gru’s Neighbourhood? You’ll finally be able to see Gru’s purple house in person and maybe even explore his underground lab!
Inside the house, you’ll also be able to enjoy the Minion Mayhem — an immersive motion simulator ride that brings you on an unpredictable ride through Gru’s super villain laboratory. Gru, the girls and (of course) the mischievous Minions will also be joining you on this adventure.
If there’s one thing I must do before leaving USS, it is to stop by the gift shop to pick up a souvenir for myself. Make sure you end your day at the Minion Marketplace where you’ll be able to shop for fun and exclusive Minions merch at places like the Pop Store, Fun Store and more!
As a Minions fan, I am absolutely shaking with excitement for Minion Land to finally open so that I can live out my dreams of being one with the little yellow men. But if there’s one thing that’s certain, with the Minions joining the crowd at USS, you can bet that there’ll definitely be more chaos happening.
On a bright side, at least we still have the upcoming Halloween Horror Nights to keep us entertained until then. Maybe this is your sign to drag your partner to the movies to watch the new Despicable Me 4 movie.
Are you ready to go bananas at Minion Land?
