Queue and ride
While waiting in line, queue videos introduce park guests to many of the characters featured on the attraction. It also features a small replica of Gru's house from the film. Once inside the building, riders receive 3-D glasses introduced as "Minion Goggles" and are told they are volunteering to be transformed into minions to help Gru's latest evil plot. In the following room, guests are greeted by Gru before being sent into the "lab" to be turned into minions. Gru leaves the recruits' Minion training up to his three adopted daughters; Margo, Edith and Agnes. Guests also witness several humorous moments such as being blasted with a fart gun.

Once inside the "lab", riders sit and watch a 3-D film with simulated motion as the attraction's main event. Upon exiting the ride, guests can partake in a minion dance party and purchase merchandise at the Super Silly Stuff gift shop.
