Ghostbusters
- one of the top 10 most iconic film franchises of all time – has just stormed
into local cinemas, making it the perfect headline experience for The Ghostbusters Adventure-Live! attraction at Lynton V
Harris Scream Park, Sunway Lagoon.
As part of
the media entourage invited to the sneak preview experience, we enjoyed first dibs at the
unveiling of Asia’s first live interactive Ghostbusters attraction; Sunway Lagoon's biggest annual
investment todate since the Scream Park was launched some seven years ago.
Occupying the
entire top level of Scream Park, The Ghostbusters Adventure-Live! journey takes
visitors through a 15-minute spooky fun travail through the current movie’s
replicated on-site locations. The thrills lie with the cast of live actors playing seasoned
‘Ghostbusters’ and ‘ghosts’, interacting sporadically with visitors at
designated sections inside the park.
Lynton V.
Harris, Chairman & CEO of The Sudden Impact! Entertainment Company said the choice to go with Ghostbusters was
based on the movie franchise’s evergreen family-friendly appeal and sustained longevity.
“The idea is to give the family-centric crowd an immersive scary experience with spooky, ghoulish
fun elements minus the gory elements.”
Besides
Ghostbusters, Sunway Lagoon’s successful partnership with Lynton V Harris &The Sudden Impact! Entertainment Company has seen past attractions such as Terminator,
Night at The Museum, Prison Break LIVE! And World War Z headlining inside the Scream
Park.
After the
obligatory media photo opp to mark the Ghostbusters Adventure-Live! launch, we were herded in small groups to Slimer’s pad,
filled with cool Ghostbusters memorabilia. At Aldridge Mansion – New York’s
oldest private home and museum, we encountered the ‘ghostly appearance’ of Gertrude
Aldridge.
Expect
more sudden, heart-stopping scares and unexpected ghoulish ‘fiends’ stalkings as you
detour through New York Subway’s Seward Street Station and Old Zhu’s Chinese
Restaurant, the new headquarters of the new all-female Ghostbusters.
Also on the agenda is Rowan’s basement followed by the infamous Mercado Hotel in New York’s iconic Times Square where guests will face a spooky, scary and slimy finale to their journey. Once you watch the movie, the different sets will seem familiar so make sure you don't miss out on both the cinematic experience along with The Ghostbusters Adventure -Live! thrills.
