I've seen the new Ghostbusters movie twice now, and it's the best movie I've seen in a long time and I couldn't help thinking how perfect it was for a Universal ride.
I know they had a Ghostbusters show in the 90s, but does Universal still have the rights to produce an attraction these days if the movie is a hit, or are there legal issues preventing it? It seems like such an obvious property to exploit.
Imagine the queue going through the fire station, then boarding Ecto-1 and battling ghosts through the dimensions. I could see most Universal ride systems working for it - Simpsons, Spider-Man, Kong... they'd all be perfect. Mix in a Buzz Lightyear style proton pack interactivity and you could really have something special. Makes me wonder why they haven't touched the property in ages.
Even just a house at Halloween Horror would be a start.
