I think a classic dark ride version of a Ghostbusters attraction where the rider is portrayed as a ghost and they keep trying to trap us could be really fun.

I would be cool with Men in Black being re-themed to Ghostbusters.

the coaster being F&F. I personally want the IP to die and stay dead after the 11th film

I'm personally over that IP as well and was hoping for something different.

But by the same token, I think the GP will probably think "whatever" if it's F&F. The IP is more than fine for a high speed roller coaster.

As long as the target count isn't reduced, much of the ride is the frenetic pace with the big ending and I'm not thinking of Will Smith

No. Let’s not close the best shooter ride in the world. This can replace Jimmy Fallon.

While I'm not in favor of closing MIB, as I've already established, those two attractions aren't exactly working with the same amount of real estate. I have a feeling we'd be seeing more people complaining about another underwhelming attraction if they tried to put any sort of dark ride in Fallon's space. Mind you, I'm not convinced that a legacy IP like Ghostbusters is even deserving of a large-scale attraction at this point. They have this problem where the newer sequels aren't nearly as beloved as the originals, but the originals are also too old to capture the younger generations, so which one do you even base an attraction on?

I predict that the park will go full circle over the next decade, going back to its roots.
We saw the Horror Make Up Show and it gave that old feel buzz. It was packed too. You get same with ET.
I don't think they will get rid of the older attractions as guests like them. MIB, ET etc.
Give it a decade and you'll have a jaws attraction ghost busters etc
