at least epcot makes up for it with good theming and events like the food and wine festival, there are very few (if any) redeeming qualities in this park
What a shame, a great concept ruined by sub-par execution. I'm not a fan of these video games masquerading as theme park attractions to begin with, but this one is really disappointing.
Ayame Nelson *I was thinking the same thing...A Ghostbusters ride had so much potential. I've been a fan of Ghostbusters ever since I was 4 Years Old, this had me hyped..Maybe more Ghostbusters rides will open in the future based on the original films and be an all around better ride with a better execution.*
The queue of the ride itself was actually kind of decent. It's not Disney levels of theming, but would still fit in with Universal Studios which has a lot of decently themed queues. But the ride? My god, they didn't even put the effort into trying to blend the screens in with the scenery. Like maybe put it in a window or something? Don't just have bare screens hanging out.
Yikes. You basically stop and shoot at mini mobile games on small screens surrounded by backdrops and cheap sets, you can see most of the ride ahead of you from the very beginning, the trackless ride system is virtually useless, the ending was super anti-climactic, no special effects, and the graphics look ridiculous. Even the Ghostblasters ride at Castle Park is better than this crap. Pitiful attempt at a ride that could have been amazing. Universal would do SO much better. I wish Universal would do a Ghostbusters ride.
Universal used to have a Ghostbusters stage show with really impressive special effects I guess they lost the theme park rights to Ghostbusters though I have no clue how they ended up at this awful excuse of a theme park
I agree, I like the Ghostbusters theme, but those screens just ruin the whole dark ride shooter experience. I love Reese's Xtreme Cup Challenge where you actually have moving targets to shoot at! The cart spins...etc.
What a disappointment. I would have at least expected the screens to blend in with the scenery (or lack thereof) better, or at least squinch (see the behind-the-scenes video for Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man to learn about squinching). What could have been really neat was to have the enemies as interactive Pepper's Ghost illusions, whether practical or digital.
The fact that you see the screens turn off completely before moving on is somewhat saddening. They should at least come up with a sort of idle screen instead of a city street suddenly becoming a gray box
I can honestly say......I've never been more disappointed my first time seeing a ride. The build up with the firehouse, the rooftops and the citiscapes......then that first screen....wtf..... How does this even get made?
Ah, it's like Voyage to the Iron Reef at Knott's Berry Farm. I half expected the theme song from Ghost Blasters at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk was gonna play.
Awww... LOL/LOL eyes would kill for a stay-puff GIANT animatronic! And these guys -- LMAO -- literally "busting" ghosts... HAHAHA. Not quite the classic style containment and LOVE-based treatment of other sentient beings but ok. This ride is still it. YOU ARE EPIC -- this film is much appreciated. Totally stoked to explore Motiongate Dubai and ALL the great things coming to the United Arab Emirates -- soon to be theme park thrill heaven. As a surfer and a Hawaiian that's never skied or snowboarded but can't stand cold, i'm VERY excited for the Still-Wave tech and the snow parks in the desert where i can step outside and immediately find a hot rock and/or soak up some sunshine. Thanks for shining. UAE Rocks! Aloha!

I was so genuinely excited as they were walking through the warehouse, and so this would at least be as fun as the Men in Black shooting ride. But this is just so damn disappointingly half-assed! I would have expected this for a rushed tie in ride with the reboot, but you mean to tell me this is "dedicated" to the original?! I looked up this video because I was curious if there was ever a Ghostbusters amusement park ride, because I had an image in my head of the Universal Studios King Kong ride but with Stay Puft Marshmallow Man and I remember thinking how badass that would be! Regardless of whether you're a fan of the Men in Black ride or not at least that ride had physical objects for you to shoot at! This is a glorified mobile app! You're better off just playing the 360/PS3 video game! Akroyd deserves better! Slimer deserves better! Hudson deserves better! Harold Ramis deserves better! I blame Bill Murray for ignoring Ghostbusters 3 til Ramis passed away, thus leaving us with the underwhelming 2016 reboot, so I'm just gonna go with "Venkman deserves better!"
Themepark-wise we only went to Ferrari World Abu Dhabi. We concentrated on the water parks, such as Wild Wadi, Atlantis Aquaventure, Al Nasr Leisureland, Yas Waterworld, Dreamland Aquapark and Al Montazah Park Sharjah :)
IMO, an ideal Ghostbusters ride for me would've just been Disney's Haunted Mansion with the Ghostbusters IP. You tour a collection of their greatest fights (movies and cartoons) before Slimer screws up and you race with him to bring them all back into the containment unit. Peter says something witty and Ray commends you at the end or something.
Wow, what a bad dark ride. It doesn't have a story, the car moves very slow and do very large stops in front of a not immersive and big screen. No animatronics, no surprises , I don't even know if you can say that is a interactive ride. I was expecting something that was impressive and was trying to compete with Disney or universal. This can't even be better that a justice league battle for metropolis ride at a six flags park. Really disappointed.
Another moving arcade ride, (typical nowadays) with no special effects! I was expecting the gate-keeper, and key-master to be moving animatronics and a giant marshmallow man animatronic at the end!
At the beginning, I thought! Hey this looks like it would be really cool...till you get on the ride and it sucks! All it really is pretty much a game room where you shoot at different screens. Reese's Xtreme Cup Challenge....now, that is A RIDE! You have moving targets to shoot at and the cart it self moves while you're shooting!
To all the guys who are hating on the ride, U ASKED TO SEE THE POV OF THE RIDE AND NOW WHEN U GOT THE POV WHY ARE U JUDGING UR THE ONES WHO ASKED FOR IT
Labeling this a B Ticket is generous. The screens are far, making the ghosts small. Lacks plot. No 4D elements like Toy Story Midway Mania. Far cry from an E Ticket. At least throw in a Melissa McCarthy for people to shoot at!
Everybody stop complaining. It's not like you can do better. They actually made a good ride, but apparently they are supposed to have animatronics and stuff. Like seriously, its a good ride with good theming. It's not like they have disney/universal money. I bet all of you would find the ride decent if you werent picking out the shit in the ride. You couldn't even build a portion of this ride.
The best parts of these rides are the queues. Literally. They've got these amazing Spider-Man ride queues, minus the Spider-Man ride. If you can make this great queue with all these props, why is it that as soon as you get on the ride it's all made out of cardboard?
Me too. I already love Dubai parks and resorts. And for motiongate's Dreamworks pavilion, as soon as I heard Kung fu panda was going to be one of those Dreamworks franchises in the park I knew I was excited to hear that.
I feel like Dubai has more money then this... I feel like this park won't make much money, and I really wanted to go when I heard about all the rides, but no..
This Ride Looks Horrible, Men In Black: Alien Attack Looks Better Than This Shit You Call Ghostbusters. Hell, For Those That Hate The New Ghostbusters Movie Congratulations This Is Worse Than That!
This won't last long the way it is. What an absolute mess. Just imagine going through all that trouble with the building and fairly decent queue just for that trash at the end. Somebody needs firing for this.
I was so excited when I saw this video to get a peak at a GB ride! The outside of the building looks legit. The Q looks spot on but then..... oh its another buzz lightyear look at these tv screens pile of crap. So disappointing.
Why does there always gotta be a little kid running around where they shouldn't be???? I remember being 4 years old in Disney world and I never ran off like that!!! Parents take care of your kids.
Just like Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters. My nieces and nephews dig it but not my cup of tea. You’d think the Dubai park would have more insane rides. They always go bigger there. As far as people complaining about not enough rollercoasters you have to remember it’s a movie/ film park your gonna get more of those type rides a la Transformers, Minions, and the incredibly lame Fast & Furious attraction that’s part of the Hollywood tour. The main reasons I disapprove is it just comes across as cheesy and they spent all that money on those show buildings and technology to put the whole tram on a gamble they could’ve put the money on a ride instead of something that just adds minutes to the tour.
Wow, trackless AND funless!
😂
Like all epcot attractions.
Trying to be as good as Disney World, but they will never measure up to them.
at least epcot makes up for it with good theming and events like the food and wine festival, there are very few (if any) redeeming qualities in this park
Funless the ride: Go ride something else now,
at Motiongate Dubai
If I had an empty room....put five televisions with different shooting games and went beween them that would be what I just saw
Yeah pretty lame and when did the Ghostbusters shoot pistol type shots? It should be Beam we get to wrangle the ghost into the trap to be captured.

Universal did have a Ghostbusters attraction a long time ago in Orlando

You know the ride is bad when the queue is better than the ride itself.
Anyone who said this would rival Disney.... you are proven quite wrong. These dark rides are terrible
I honestly didn't know what to expect from this park, but man did this lower what little expectations I had!

it´s only a warehouse with lots of screens. That´s it. Go home MotionGate, you are drunk. Btw, thanks for uploading.

@@platinumblaze3663 hi
I can't imagine waiting all the queue line and ending up with this...
I see where the budget for this attraction went. 50% into the set and prop work. 40% into the ride cars and 10% into the dull shootem up
I can honestly say......I've never been more disappointed my first time seeing a ride. The build up with the firehouse, the rooftops and the citiscapes......then that first screen....wtf..... How does this even get made?
Equivalent to riding around in your own car holding your TV on your lap.
Ah, it's like Voyage to the Iron Reef at Knott's Berry Farm. I half expected the theme song from Ghost Blasters at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk was gonna play.
Seems like a rushed job. The lack of animatronics depresses me.
Colin Gorman You know the animatronics would have sucked anyway?
Thats how rides are these days

Bigger screens, better sets, more effects, and maybe 3D would make this WORLDS better. As it is, not worth going to Dubai for.
It might also help to make this a ride instead of a glorified video game.
Now there's something strange in the neighbourhood...
The Six Flags near us is in financial trouble but did a trackless Justice League ride that was millions of times better!
