Universal Orlando Announces ''Despicable Me' Attraction

Universal Orlando Resort today announced that its newest attraction will be based on the 3-D CGI feature "Despicable Me." It will replace the Jimmy Neutron attraction at Universal Studios Florida.

"Despicable Me" will become the first Universal animated film to be transformed into a theme park experience. The Universal Creative team is working with producer Chris Meledandri, the founder of Illumination Entertainment, to create all-new animation for an all-new "Despicable Me" adventure that places guests right in the center of the action.

"The ‘Despicable Me’ attraction is the latest example of how we tap into pop culture’s most compelling stories and turn them into extraordinary theme park entertainment," said Mark Woodbury, president of Universal Creative. "This is a perfect fit for Universal Orlando, and we can’t wait to bring this one-of-a-kind experience to life."

Universal also announced that The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man, one of the greatest attractions in theme park history, will be completely reanimated in 4K digital high definition, once again redefining the theme park experience.
