"Fans will embark on this petrifying journey alongside the Ghostbusters, encountering iconic ghosts who slime and nefarious villains who are out for revenge – all while trying to escape an army of ghastly creatures bent on cracking bones and turning their veins into rivers of ice."

Every time I see the words “Ghostbusters” and “Universal” together in the same sentence my brain wistfully longs for the original stage show that ran at Universal Orlando. I’m sorry, what were we talking about?
TBH, I haven't watched any of the recent Ghostbusters films (including the all-female led remake), so I wouldn't have a basis for this particular house. However, I do think the IP still resonates, and if executed well, could be extremely popular.
@Russell - Your not missing much and definitely don't bother with the Melissa McCarthy one. That was one of the worst movie I've ever seen!
Horrible movie, but will work better as a house.

Frozen Empire is an interesting choice given that the film didn’t do the numbers that Sony was probably hoping for, but it was likely too late to correct course after the fact. Either way, the brand is strong enough for Universal that I’m sure it’ll be the most popular house regardless.
