Narrated by Academy Award®-winning actor Morgan Freeman,

Universal’s Cinematic Spectacular – 100 Years of Movie Memories celebrates Universal Pictures’ iconic films. The most powerful and emotional moments are shown in crystal-clear clarity on cutting-edge waterfall screens within the Universal Studios lagoon – surrounded by colorful, dramatically synchronized fountains and pyrotechnics, all set to a memorable musical score. The experience takes guests on a journey through epic cinematic moments filled with heroes, horror, laughter, good versus evil and triumph.

Universal’s Superstar Parade

offers an entirely new form of interactive entertainment that gives guests and entire families the opportunity to join in the fun with some of their favorite characters – including the minions from the blockbuster animated adventure Despicable Me, E.B. from the hit comedy Hop, Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants and Dora & Diego. The parade features larger-than-life floats, state-of-the-art technology and hundreds of energetic street performers.

And coming this summer, Universal Orlando’s newest ride,

Despicable Me Minion Mayhem, will take guests on an unforgettable 3-D adventure with their favorite characters from the hit film – Gru, Margo, Edith, Agnes and the mischievous minions. The experience begins when guests enter Gru’s home, where they learn that they’re being recruited to become minions and undergo “minion training.” Things don’t go as planned, and guests find themselves on a wildly hysterical journey with Gru and his daughters. Once guests make it through training, they join an interactive, minion-inspired dance party where they can show off their best moves.
