Introducing Illumination’s Minion Land at Universal Studios Singapore

[@That_guy_thing_stuf]

All Singaporeans and Malaysians want Super Nintendo World!!!

[@andrewsadikin5226]

Why Singaporeans and Malaysians only want it? R u a r@cist or extreme prejudice toward other countries?

[@peternelson583]

No!!! We Malaysian want robin hood!!

[@kureed79]

Harry Potter would be cool

[@andrewsadikin5226]

That’s why you guys always lagging behind. Get the more advanced updated animation, Robin Hood is on the 70’s.

[@harryxyz2982]

Wasn’t that supposed to happen I haven’t heard anything since the announcement

[@guykent802]

Honestly I'm super excited for this too! Bit of a pity its using the ride system from Florida and not Japan's, but its understandable due to the lack of space in USS. Even though its also being delayed until 2025, I hope that Super Nintendo World can also released sometime soon after that!

[@jamesrgamesoffical]

Looks like the section where the main ride will be is almost a complete replica of the one in japan including the same exact delicious me location and bank of evil ATM. Just accommodated for smaller area

@guykent802 that's what I mean by accommodation for a smaller area

[@guykent802]

@@jamesrgamesoffical Kinda sad tho that the ride is just turning out to be a shrek 4d ride.

[@PS-js7wm]

From a tourist standpoint, we would have preferred the Super Nintendo World over the Minion Land. It is also likely that the Super Nintendo World will bring in more visitors to USS due to its exclusivity.

[@guykent802]

That's very true, Super nintendo world is one of the most advanced theme park lands to date, with arguably one of the best Ips and a really good ride. While I do think the inclusion of super silly fun land was great, the main attraction Minion mayhem just doesn't hold up because it uses the ride system in Florida and not japan. The one in florida's is just a big cinema with moving cars, compared to the one in japan that has a huge screen and huge moving cars.

[@AnakinSkywalker_1858]

Minions is stupid and boring Bad move from universal

[@guykent802]

@@AnakinSkywalker_1858 That's completely subjective and besides if it was a bad move why would they make it? Its clear you're only here to insult people who like universal in a universal video because you're username is literally anakinskywalker.

[@Revolzer]

Fun fact:The Madagascar ride was demolished before this was made,that shows the true scale size of how big it was! Sad fact is that Singapore was the only Universal Studios who had the ride!❤

[@makitheking028]

Please add more adult coasters😊

[@guykent802]

They most likely won't which is disappointing. Considering they just expanded it'll be a while before USS adds another coaster. Another thing is the target market of the park. If you check the wait times the human coaster and other rides are longer than the big rides such as cylon or revenge of the mummy. People who visit the park don't like big scary rides, but rather smaller more kiddy fun rides.

[@ao2415]

It's for kids

[@cabrelbeuk72]

@@guykent802 This is not even really an extension, they replaced the madagascar area for minions lands.

[@guykent802]

@@cabrelbeuk72 I mean madagascar ride was pretty mid, so im glad they replaced it. But its been replaced with an old attraction. Also mario land will also take up some of the space madagascar left.

Minion Mayhem is a modern classic. I love it! Way better than Simpsons or Star Tours!

[@josemariasandoval9735]

It is great to have a minions land with different layout to others international parks. Looks cute and I love the super silly land looks. I hope Super Nintendo World is still aproved.

[@jocelynbambam]

Can’t wait for the release of Super Nintendo World too 🎉

[@yylee1485]

When Minion Land and Super Nintendo World are completions, combined with existing Jurassic Park and Transformers, tourists will have a better experience at Universal Studios Singapore.

[@nicolegraham8080]

Anyone know what month this will open?

[@maxickingdom]

0:55 I really like that Super Silly Fun land is right on the ocean there! I am wondering though, will the Madagascar Crate Adventure be re-themed to Minions or is it now completely replaced? I personally really hope they use the same boat ride system as before.

[@guykent802]

The madagascar ride was completely demolished, the whole ride space alone was enough for the placement of super nitnendo world AND the minion mayhem show building. While its sad to see Madagascar go, it wasn't a grand attraction and consisted of some very basic animatronics. The new minion ride will be almost an exact replica of florida's ride system which you can search online, which is disappointing seeing as its not the Japanese version with a ride system like the simpsons ride.

[@maxickingdom]

[@JJOlajideOlatunji]

WE WANT HARRY POTTER WORLD

[@bryanttan8401]

Bro, not enough space la...Imagine having to build another castle and snow houses for harry potter theme park.

[@guykent802]

Harry potter land will never be added to USS due to the space constraints it faces. If harry potter was added, the entire land would need to be redesigned costing RWS millions of dollars. If you look at other universal parks where there is harry potter, they all look identical.

[@flanzeryen]

Remove the whole Shrek land and the Waterworld might got the chance to build but we dont think RWS will spend XX millions for this. Btw they having a harry potter vision show in RWS by Q4 of 2024, they maybe will take considering from the popularity and results of HP vision show to amend their decision in future? who knows..

[@guykent802]

@@flanzeryen Its highy unlikely they're going to do this just for harry potter, considering there's a universal in Beijing and Japan with harry potter, its not likely. Also just due to the fact of how much space It takes up for 1 or 2 rides. Not only that, waterworld is basically the only major show in the entire park and its never been removed from a single universal park.

[@flanzeryen]

@guykent802 HPW soon will becoming the new standard of Universal Studio, like the Jurassic Park(becoming World soon). Including the new park in the future, like USGB in London. If u go check through the forum the u will know how the WBD and JK deal with Universal regarding their contract for the HP rights. I'm not sure about he old park yet, but soon there's will be a change during 2030 if RWS buy over the golf course opposite of the USS. Who knows in the future, never say never..

[@laukenneth5885]

We want super Mario land!!!!

[@guykent802]

Most likely won't be added until late 2026 or mid 2027 just due to the delay of covid. Minion land was supposed to be released in 2024 or around late 2024 but it looks like its pushed back to around early to mid 2025.

[@DsnyH]

Madagascar did not die for this 😭

[@sofiyarini]

which month of 2025

[@plip14]

1. Super Nintendo World or something new like Luigi Mansion (Ghost castle). 2. Annual pass. 3. Jurassic rapids adventure robotics are like using 90s tech. and I think the items in the shop haven't changed since USS open.

[@guykent802]

Luigi mansion will not be added nor has it been announced anywhere, the annual pass has been missing for who knows how long under the disguise of "Covid" which is clearly over, and the Jurassic rapids adventure robotics definitely need to be replaced or improved.

Tbh, Nintendo land would be way more fun than Minion land and more guests including adults will prefer that to Minion.

[@guykent802]

I suppose since the target market is kids having two intellectual properties instead of one will draw more people to the park? Minion must be really popular in Singapore which is why they must be opening minion land, although I would have preferred for the whole land to be converted to Super Nintendo World.

[@nanuyuriman0072]

It should be Super Nintendo World

[@connoisseurofstories]

I want Hogwarts but they gave us freaking minon land instead? And wow the President sure sounded excited!

[@rachm8072]

Singapore doesn’t even have the space for Harry Potter, it would also cost millions in redesigning the land to Harry Potter, as Harry Potter land is just cloned in different parks.

[@guykent802]

They announced the project for minion land and super Nintendo world before 2022, not sure why you seem surprised considering singapore has limited space.

[@brendawong4114]

[@pinball2011]

the originality is gone. same copy and paste rides found mostly at other parks, sad.

[@guykent802]

I wouldn't say its a complete copy and paste. The boogie buggy seems like it will help the land out a lot. In a matter of fact I think its the only universal park with a beach themed area (kinda) if we're counting the wooden dock thing. But I would have much preferred super nitnendo world to be much larger over minion land, as minion mayhem will be a duplicate of the ride system in Florida (basically a screen with moving cars) rather than japan's.

[@jamesrgamesoffical]

Honestly would rather the super silly fun land not be built and use the extra space for super nintendo world. The area where grus house is enough

[@Godzillaminusonefan2024Editz-N]

I actually hate minionland because it replaced the Madagascar zone

[@roz4305]

So is Nintendo just cancelled or what…?

Nintendo land will most likely be delayed till late 2026 to mid 2027. Minion land was supposed to be open to the public in 2024, but now it looks like its pushed back even further.

[@wjj7488]

Many tourists are experiencing long queues of 1-2 hours for some rides in many days .

[@AnakinSkywalker_1858]

Universal Singapore is the worst universal park

[@guykent802]

The reason they aren't bringing back the annual pass is because people living in Singapore are wealthy enough to go multiple times per year, so Genting resorts who operates the universal license ends up making a profit.

[@arcadiousgames]

Not going to lie, it feels pretty lame. The theme park is already very light on a diverse set of rides; and now a space with a Carousel (ok, good, all theme parks have one), ANOTHER moving seat ride (already have) and a kid's spinner that isn't very much different than the one in Jurassic Park. The rest of the space is filled up with stuff that there's already an abundance of in the park. Not really smart, in my opinion. It's no surprise that RWS hasn't been hitting its targets.

[@riverphoenix1102]

[@lilysumilat2010]

Kapan minion

[@tcmelvinlee4804]

1) Poor marketing efforts of RWS, not much attraction outside the universal studio, no much activities like song singing and entertainment in the nights. 2) Fares too expensive too crowded for the rides 3) property poorly maintained 4)Retail shops not much traffic prices of luxury products not competitive 5) No night streets like pub street or entertainment 6) The Malaysian Food street often closed? 7)Should allow local crowds fod special promotions waive casino levy for local during holidays, etc 8) Special discounts for staycations 9) etc
