HHN 29: Ghostbusters

[Spaulding]

So is this house only based on the original or will it be a mash up of both films?

The website mentions scenes from the first movie, and nothing from the sequel, so I would guess GB1 only.

I'm really not a big fan of any horror nights, OK to me but not something I have to do, BUT, this is such a great idea for a House that, if it wasn't for the recent cycle of too many early fall season southeast USA hurricanes & tropical storms that screw up traveling to Florida, I would actually reschedule my second half of the year Orlando vacation just to experience this house. Great idea, and I hope it turns out well, and especially has the fabulous Ghostbusters music.

i wonder if hhn willhave ecto cooler at the event

 

[DannyPowers]

Not going to lie. Totally got goosebumps when they showed up at the arches at the end.

Aw yeah, been waiting for this one ever since it was first teased...and leaked by Hollywood -twice-! (As that website pic turned out legit.)

There's a lot of fun potential in both the scares and various effects, I think this one's gonna end up in the upper section of my anticipation list.

I can't tell you how surprised some of us were when we first heard this was possible. Didn't believe it when I first heard it, didn't believe it when I heard it again; but the 3rd time......

Same. I remember when this was a rumor for 25 and didn't believe it at first when I heard it for this year.

I wonder if they'll pull the same thing they did with Stranger Things last year and have both it and this open for day guests for a specific day.

I haven't checked where this one is located, will they be relatively close by?

This is in 22 and ST is in 25 so the same block if I'm correct on all of that.

This is in 22, Stranger Things is in SS25 where Poltergeist was.

Didn’t believe this at first but I’m actually pretty excited for this house

I've heard, story wise, it'll focus on one. Scares will reference all three films.

Spoiler

Specifically, I've heard the Uncle Sam from the newest film is in it.

 

[Returning-The-Reaction]

Anyone else think it's weird they didn't use the theme song in the reveal video?

As I said in the other thread I think they couldn't secure the rights for this video.

The announcement video for Halloween (24) also didn't feature that film's iconic song:

i won't be surpised if the new ghosts appear in the scene where the ghosts wreck havoc on the city.

oh really that cool legacy

 

[Mad Dog]

Soooo, if this does really well, and the new movie does really well....maybe it will result in a new dark ride attraction in the future.

I remember when that came out and people got so mad about how they thought HHN had gotten Halloween but not gotten the theme. Good times.

Not going to lie, was prepared to write 29 off as a weak year ahead of 30. But with this and Creature in the Monsters house, two of my wish list items, has become the most anticipated year I can remember.

 

[whatdoyouwant]

Queue up the HHN is going PG and not Horror rants in 5...4...3...2...1...

I can't wait for this. It's a dream come true and can't wait to see how they do the Ghostbusters - from the back with wigs? Prosthetics like The Shining? As long as they can get them reasonably close (and I don't doubt them at all after the Stranger Things and Ash vs Evil Dead scareactors) so it doesn't pull you out of the moment, this will be one for the ages.

If it's just the first movie and as successful as I expect, I wonder if we'll get GB2 next year.

--------------------------------

Edit:

The "videogame art" also looks like what they're really using.

I know some ghostbusters. They have the look. Egon, Winston, Stantz.
Haven’t seen a Venkman yet, but that doesn’t mean they don’t him.
It’s going to be great

Honestly I feel like this house might be a bigger merch monster than Stranger Things was last year/will be this year. Based of the IPs this year crowds of all demographics are gonna covered

And they've already got merch in the park right now, so they're prepared lol

Fwiw, I’m really excited. I wasn’t as thrilled with the idea until I watched the movie again recently-it may not be the scariest house, but I’d bet it’ll be the funnest and that shouldn’t be overlooked, imo.
