What do you get when you mix Despicable Me and Mayhem? Minion Park of course!
Vacationers to the land of the rising sun are about to get a face full of bananas and mischief! Minion Park, the world’s absolute largest Minion-themed property, will be coming to Universal Studios Japan in Osaka in early 2017.
Entertainment Weekly reports that the Despicable Me-themed land, set to include a ride, a toy store, a sweets factory, and a hotel.

So they may switch things up a bit for the new land.
