The Pop-A-Nana sign and more Bake My Day decorations have been installed in Illumination’s Minion Land at Universal Studios Florida.
Pop-A-Nana Sign
At Pop-A-Nana, guests will be able to get banana-flavored popcorn and Minion-inspired popcorn buckets.
The popcorn stand is yellow and blue, with a striped roof.
Atop the stand are figures of two Minions with a giant banana that also looks like an ear of corn and giant pieces of popcorn.
One Minion is blasting the banana/ear of corn with fake fire.
The sign looks like it is held up with mechanical arms, resembling machines used by Gru and the Minions.
The popcorn stand is where the Monsters Café Bone Chillin’ stand used to be.
Banana popcorn is also available at Universal Studios Japan. See our photos below.
Minion Café Sign
Around the corner, the scrim has been removed from over “Café.”
“Minion” has yet to be installed above “Café” and the letters also haven’t been decorated.
New concept art shows how “Café” will be dressed up to look like more Minion machinery. Compare the concept art to our recent Minion Land construction update and preview the Minion Café menu.
Bake My Day
A new decoration featuring a row of cupcakes has been installed above the Bake My Day entrance, below the giant pink cupcake atop the building.
Four lamps above the decoration will illuminate it and the future Bake My Day sign at night.
The façade of Bake My Day is light pink. It’s on the corner of the street closest to Villain-Con Minion Blast.
Check out concept art for Bake My Day below.
Bake My Day will serve cupcakes, macarons, and s’mores. This venue will also feature a selection of Minion-inspired merchandise, including apparel, plush, drinkware, accessories, keychains, and more.
Illumination’s Minion Land
Illumination’s Minion Land at Universal Orlando Resort will be opening this summer with a variety of new attractions and eateries for guests.
The land will take over Production Central, transforming it into Illumination Avenue with a new Minion Cafe (replacing the former Universal Studios’ Classic Monsters Cafe) and “other surprises inspired by popular characters from Illumination’s blockbuster franchises.”
The attractions will be the pre-existing Despicable Me Minion Mayhem and brand new Villain-Con Minion Blast. The façade of Despicable Me Minion Mayhem was recently refurbished. Read more details about Villain-Con Minion Blast, which will be a moving walkway and shooting ride where Shrek 4-D once was. It won’t have a height requirement and guests will be able to track their score in the Universal Orlando Resort app.
Another food and beverage location will be Freeze Ray Pops next to Bake My Day. The available treats at Freeze Ray Pops will include a variety of colorful popsicles inspired by Gru, the Minions, and Vector.
The back of the Transformers: The Ride show building has been painted blue to match the new land.
