With three-time Academy Award winner Steven Spielberg as creative consultant, its theme parks are known for immersive experiences that feature some of the world’s most thrilling and technologically advanced film- and television-based attractions.
Comcast NBCUniversal wholly owns Universal Studios Hollywood, which includes Universal CityWalk Hollywood.

Located at the heart of Hogwarts castle is the land’s signature ride, “Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey.” Guests soar high above Hogwarts alongside Harry and Ron and partake in a number of the movie’s most memorable scenes that include a Quidditch match and narrowly escaping a dragon attack to experiencing close encounters with Dementors and the Whomping Willow.
An achievement in pioneering theme park ride technology, featuring a ground-breaking robotics ride system, “Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey” is fused with elaborate filmed action sequences and immersive visceral effects designed to immerse guests in an already captivating storyline.
“Despicable Me Minion Mayhem” is an original adventure that brings outrageous and heartfelt fun of the blockbuster movie to Universal Studios Hollywood as scores of Minions descend upon the entertainment destination.
Based on Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment’s Academy Award and Golden Globe Award-nominated film franchise and created in collaboration with Chris Meledandri, founder and CEO of Illumination Entertainment, the ride invites guests to embrace their inner Minion as they become immersed in an all-new story from the world of “Despicable Me.” Helmed by (former) super-villain Gru, with assistance from the slightly forgetful Dr. Nefario, “Despicable Me Minion Mayhem” captivates fans by recruiting and transforming them into beloved, gibberish-speaking Minions.
The theme park also brings to life the first film’s memorable seaside carnival with the introduction of “Super Silly Fun Land,” an imaginative and interactive play zone unique to Universal Studios Hollywood. Designed to entertain guests of all ages, “Super Silly Fun Land” includes more than 80 different water-play features and a nearby dry zone to climb, jump and slide. A Minion-themed “Silly Swirly Fun Ride” soars and spins guests around aboard a fleet of uniquely styled ride vehicles. The memorable “Super Silly Space Killer” arcade game where Agnes “won” her lovable stuffed unicorn also can be found here, giving guests a chance to try and beat the odds to win Minion game prizes and their own stuffed unicorn.
Together, “Despicable Me Minion Mayhem” and “Super Silly Fun Land” represent a distinct, immersive environment within the theme park, reimagined to fully engage guests in the world of Gru and his Minions.
