Movie Geek Takes a Ride in the DESPICABLIMP
What’s 165 feet long, 45 feet in diameter and can hold 10,000 Minions?
It’s the Despicablimp, one of only 15 airships flying in the world today and this Movie Geek got to ride in it when it was in St. Louis this morning to promote Universal Studio’s hilarious DESPICABLE ME 2, which opened July 3rd and is still in theaters (read my review HERE).
The Despicablimp can accommodate 8 passengers and one pilot.
A Minion was on hand to greet me before I boarded, but Gru was nowhere to be found.
Pilot Alan Judd took us 1000 feet in the air at 33 knots from the Alton Regional Airport though the skies of downtown Alton, over the Clark Bridge and the Missippippi River.
After about 45 minutes in the air, and no sign of Gru, Dr, Nafario, or El Macho, we made a perfect landing.
