RUMOR! Universal Orlando – Villain-Con Walk Through Shooter
The Shrek 4-D attraction will close on January 10 with no official news as to its eventual replacement. But according to Orlando Park Stop, the theater might be transformed into a Minions themed, walk-through adventure! Rumored to take place at the infamous Villain-Con, guests would explore the convention floor while trying out various gadgets and weapons. There’s no official confirmation from Universal Orlando as of this writing, but we could be visiting Villain-Con as early as this summer!
