Illumination’s Minion Land, the latest addition at Universal Studios Singapore, officially opened to guests today, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) as Asia’s premium lifestyle destination. The new land offers an exciting array of attractions, dining, and exclusive merchandise, all inspired by Illumination’s beloved Despicable Me and Minions franchises. Exclusive to Universal Studios Singapore are Buggie Boogie – the first-ever Minion dance party-themed carousel – and Super Hungry Food Stand, the all-new, larger-than-film version of the waterfront snack stand from Despicable Me. Minion Land opened to much fanfare in a laughter-filled celebration with the Minions and Gru and his family, topped off with yellow balloons and confetti.

"The opening of Illumination’s Minion Land at Universal Studios Singapore is a proud moment for Resorts World Sentosa, showcasing our continued evolution as a top destination with global appeal,” said Mr Tan Hee Teck, Chief Executive Officer, RWS. “Minion Land is set to become one of Singapore’s key tourism attractions and is part of a series of upcoming, enhanced visitor experiences at RWS. These include new signature dining spots, a transformed lifestyle Forum, a reimagined boutique luxury hotel, the much-anticipated launch of the Singapore Oceanarium and Research Learning Centre, and a brand-new waterfront lifestyle development, among others.”

"With the opening of Illumination’s Minion Land at Universal Studios Singapore, the Minions have a home in each Universal theme park around the world, offering guests of all ages new and captivating ways to engage with their favourite characters,” added Mr Page Thompson, President of New Ventures, Universal Destinations & Experiences. "We look forward to continually expanding the Universal portfolio with new game-changing attractions.”

Chris Meledandri, founder and CEO of Illumination, added: “I’m thrilled for guests of all ages to discover our new Minion Land and hope they fall in love with this immersive and captivating new addition at Universal Studios Singapore. One of the most exciting aspects of transforming the Despicable Me film franchise into the theme park experience is expanding into new storylines, characters, and dynamic worlds for fans to explore.”

The actual location for Super Nintendo World to be built is at Malaysian Food Street, USS customer service, ticket counter and VIP room area. That whole building needs to be demolished so that they can make way for Super Nintendo World.

How do I know? I attended their career exploration program for USS. Their managers told us everything. The people who attended the program got a free gift.

When will they start building it? I guess after the opening of Minion Land they will announce it. The year of completion is around 2029 or later.

Walls down in Minion Land

When do you guys think Super Nintendo World will open at USS?

Are they not promoting it at all? When Hong Kong Disneyland opened the Frozen zone, they went all out—inviting content creators and even holding a launch event in another country. But the Minions zone in Singapore seems completely silent. Is this due to the theme park's own policy?

This makes it more suitable for a global audience. Let me know if you need further adjustments!

World of Frozen at HKDL was the first of its kind, thus the large international media blitz. Minions themed lands have been previously established in other parks (Japan, Beijing). They don’t need a global launch as the novelty is no longer there.
