So what happened with the replica Ecto they made? Is it in the parade? Haven't seen any pics of it, only the float. Doubt they would make a replica just for HHN...

[deadderek]

I'd like to know as well.

[Rookie99]

My guess is that the car will be used for a possessed Ecto scare or scene.

My guess is that the car will be used for a possessed Ecto scare or scene.

Or parked/driven around the area of the park where the Frozen Empire house will be staged.

Oh man if they built a replica Ecto-1 to only have it parked for two months...LOL

can I have it the remaining ten months out of the year?

[timeware]

It would be a nice idea to see them drive Ecto around the park after Halloween Horror Nights is done. Kind of like how they routinly bring out Towmater and Mc Queen in Disney Land. Even if no attractions are planned having an Ecto themed shop and a character meet and greet area based on Ghostbusters probably wouldn't cost them a hell of a lot to do.

Man, I wish my station did live shots at theme parks. We usually just do sports games.
That Firehouse with the projection mapped ice is so cool (pun intended).

So the" something" in this threads title was a set piece for the house. Neat.
Super well done from what I can tell on video. Really wish I could go see it in person.

A video of the Hollywood version.

There was an event on the 5th at the Hollywood one. Gil Kenan, Jason Reitman, and Mckenna Grace were there. Not sure if anyone else from GB was.

The Ecto-1 has debuted

[timeware]

Are those mini-puft's animatronic?

[mrmichaelt]

Idk waiting on video to surface.

But confirmation there's a gunner seat.

Are those mini-puft's animatronic?

Most of the Mini-Pufts are static, the only one that "moves" is a static one which rotates because it's stood atop one of the rotating lights of Ecto-1's front lightbar.

[WCat2000]

I want those Mini Pufts...but there's no red stripes or drone hatch? Still cool though.

[mrmichaelt]

2 clips taken of Ecto-1.

Maybe they were going for Ecto-1 when Egon moved to Summerville.

[d_osborn]

That's Sean Bishop's old "Janine" replica, which was used on the Walmart commercials a few years ago.

[timeware]

I'd love to see universal release an animatronic mini puft small enough that you could fit in the clear pocket pocket of the red parka. Or a shoulder sitter that can move its hands and head.

A lovely bit of news this Halloween night.

[Rookie99]

They maybe went a bit hard on the Mini Pufts, but it is surreal to see Ecto-1 patrolling Universal Studios. Here's hoping she has a long career ahead of her at the park.

[Rookie99]

So this popped up recently- Rip Ride Rockit at Universal (aka the coaster that goes through the old firehouse) is closing soon, and construction walls went up referencing the Firehouse being "restored". Maybe a hint to a Ghostbusters ride, maybe just a fun wink. Who knows.

Either late this year or early next year I have plans of hitting Epic. So I'll be getting some pics of the progress. Got to see the framework of Bowsers castle being put together in 21 in California so hopefully they'll let us see the progress. I'll post pictures if Slimer doesn't eat the polaroids.

But for now:

[Rookie99]

I don't think we can say confirmed just yet, video title. Like it could be Fast and Furious. Could be Wicked. Could be Minions.
...but you don't put out a blog post celebrating the legacy of a property you don't own in your park if you don't plan on doing something special with it-
https://blog.discoveruniversal.com/behi ... ospective/
So who knows, really?

[timeware]

They could do a combination of properties, but I'd like to see it completely dedicated to Ghostbusters. An Ecto-1 themed Coaster holder would be awesome. Like Disney's yeti ride maybe they could work in a giant Stay Puft reaching out for you while moving backwards.

[timeware]

Sorry for the double post. More updated info on the possibility of Ghostbusters coming to Epic Universe.


Personally Id love it if the Rip Ride Rocket were to be replaced by Ghostbusters. I think Wicked is too new of an IP to get it's own coaster. If anyone looses their lunch on the loop de loop someone saying "He slimed me" may not be a movie quote. Don't wear your gear on the coaster unless you want to risk it being painted in technicolor.
