Here is a link to a pretty cool montage of the different shows of GB at universal. Shows the entrance of the attraction.

Here is a website that looks like it's devoted to strictly everything GB Universal
http://www.angelfire.com/fl5/gbzone0/universal.html

Here are some pics on the site that show a good close up of the street show slimer...

I have a bunch of pictures from the early days of Universal, including a picture of the proton pack they "sold" in the shop. I'll have to find that stuff.

...the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man blows his top and everybody gets creamed.

Awesome!

I found this website that has all 3 of the main brochures. If I would have found this earlier I wouldn't have had to scan mine. I thought it was pretty cool though!

Is it just me or is Jaws not screen accurate in this pic with the guy and the gun! LOL

[bustinforjesus]

Sorry i keep posting so much, but I keep finding cool stuff. I think this is from a fellow fan. On the site his name was theultimate gbfan Thanks man! I love these videos. A pretty much full old school street show....

[bustinforjesus]

Found this on GBHQ

I actually remember being severely disappointed I did not get a gun on the ride.

Would be great (but I know impossible wishful thinking of a fanboy) if someday, somewhere Universal allowed SPHE to release all of the source video from the show onto a home video release (thinking of the infomercial they showed during Louis' sales pitch, etc.)... There's even some professional shot footage that was used in the "Souvenir Videos" USF used to sell which would be great to see again.

But alas, my professional opinion tells me that day will never come...

Unless someone happens to be reading that knows a certain DVD producer has been bugging you for years to let him do a comprehensive SE release... [/end shameless plug]

You might have already seen it, but this is the closest thing I found
It's at 2:18

[Troy]

Pretty good, Cosmo Kramer shoot that one? But yeah, that's the source video I'm talking about...

[CPU64]

Just imagine if that ride, was new today...

[Troy]

Yeah, everyone would do nothing but complain about the pack accuracy.

LOL I know

I found this I thought it was pretty interesting.....

I also found this petition to get GB Spooktacular back on, I don't think it will do any good, but it cool to know people are still caring about the show....
http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/U ... ostbusters

I also didn't realize GB fans has the Actual Spooktacular handbook, script, and concept art.

Here is a link for an idea of a New GB Ride at universal on Facebook. It's just and idea, a cool one I might add, but someone commented that Universal bought back the rights from sony recently. Is this true?

Here is the link... The comment about Universal Buying the rights is in the comments section.

[Deaditebuster]

As for that buying the rights story, that's actually true. Kind of.

Up until a few months ago, Universal Studios Florida had Ghostbusters on their copyright page. Since all the other copyrights listed were just the rides and shows, it makes sense that they might be putting in a ride. As that little rumor got around, the copyright listing mysteriously disappeared. Draw your own conclusions.

[bustinforjesus]

Never seen this before....

This guy I know, I recorded in the past is gonna give me and my family Universal tickets for free! I'm so excited. He is one of the props builder at universal, but he was there way after GB spooktacular was there. I asked him if anything was in a warehouse somewhere and he said when a ride, or show ends, they either sell it or throw it away. I was hoping when I went I could get some pics of some old stuff in a warehouse somewhere, but sadly there is nothing left. So he says.

[jettajeffro]

There was a thread on the props used over on Proptopia back in 2007. Here's some pics found from groschopf over there:

Early packs used:


Later packs used:

[80sguy]

The first packs used looked pretty good. The later looks like they got creative and added stuff that wasn't there.

[CPU64]

Haha, I have that same knob on top of the gun..

[Deaditebuster]

This is a bit late, but I've found that Universal still has at least one prop from the show...

If you're curious, that was taken at last year's Halloween Horror Nights. The section of the park was themed to a prop warehouse and they had a lot of old props from defunct rides. As far as I know, that's the only Ghostbusters object there.

That's kinda depressing...great find, though!

[Deaditebuster]

It is, but kind of enlightening all the same.

I could've sworn I read somewhere that the Proton Packs are still in Florida somewhere in a warehouse, but that could be my bad memory.

[SpaceCoastGBs]

When I worked at Universal as a sign maker back in 04-06, there were still some rubber packs degrading in the main prop warehouse off of Turkey Lake Rd. They were a rubber shell, filled with expanding foam, and placed on a mobo. They had been left in the back Ecto 1 that had driven around the park for years, and had severe sunrot. Dried, cracking, didn't smell too good. No throwers on them either.

[Deaditebuster]

Not to resurrect a dead post, but does anyone have any pictures of the old shop? Or even the queue? Both I'd kill to see pictures of.

[Deaditebuster]

Just an interesting picture from the GB's later days at the park:

We were at USF this June (2011) and a park staffer walked over to us as we were taking pics at the old firehouse entrance (Still a tradition for us, even if it does have a rollercoaster track running through the front window now ). Anyway, he stopped and was talking with us for a bit and said that he didn't even know that there had been a GB show there until a few weeks previous when he was going through one of the storage areas on site and saw a bunch of props that one of the other guys told him were from the old GB show.

So, FWIW, it sounds like some of it might still be there. He wasn't a fan, so he couldn't tell us what kind of stuff it was.
