The concept

Gru's house has been converted into a laboratory. Under the supervision of Gru and his three daughters, you board a vehicle he designed himself. Then the process of becoming a real Minion begins. Despite all the chaos, the story is also about the bond between Gru, the girls and the Minions.

The Experience

The dome screen and the projection are so lifelike that you no longer know which way is up. You shoot through the air, dive back down to earth and go upside down and round. Each vehicle seats eight people, in two rows of four.

Sensitive to motion?
