The experience begins when guests enter Gru’s home, where they learn that they’re being recruited to become minions and undergo “minion training.”  Things don’t go as planned, and guests find themselves on a wildly hysterical journey with Gru and his daughters.  Once guests make it through training, they join an interactive, minion-inspired dance party where they can show off their best moves.</p> <p>Universal’s Creative team is working closely with Chris Meledandri’s Illumination Entertainment to bring this all-new adventure to life in the most authentic way possible.  In fact, the beloved characters in the attraction will be voiced by the film’s original cast: Steve Carell (Gru), Miranda Cosgrove (Margo), Dana Gaier (Edith) and Elsie Fisher (Agnes).  The ride’s experience is being developed by the same creative team that brought you the award-winning film, <em>Despicable</em><em> Me.</em>The motion-picture event <em>Despicable Me 2</em> arrives in theaters on July 3, 2013.</p> </span></p> </blockquote> <p><span> </span></p>http://www.coasternerd.com/post/16476535331http://www.coasternerd.com/post/16476535331Wed, 25 Jan 2012 15:05:06 -0500<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lydebnOZte1r6d20po1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lydebnOZte1r6d20po2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lydebnOZte1r6d20po3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>100 Years of movie memories, Nighttime water show!</p> <p>Read this article from Universal Orlando:</p> <blockquote> <p><span>Narrated by award-winning actor and recent Golden Globe - Cecil B.

Last night was the final voyage of JAWS. the ride will literally never see sunlight again. It was such an emotional last boat tour. getting off seeing all of my favorite skippers in tears as they and we all recognize, this is it for JAWS. While the parks were open they handed out free beads to wear and sold merchandise throughout the park. The one disappointment I had was that all of the T-Shirts were sold out. Forever! If you missed the final Voyage don’t worry, I’ll post a video this week!</p>http://www.coasternerd.com/post/15237312408http://www.coasternerd.com/post/15237312408Tue, 03 Jan 2012 06:37:51 -0500
