Heide Park Resort, in Germany, has invested £6.1m (US$7.8m, €7.2m) in a new attraction based on the 1984 film Ghostbusters.

Ghostbusters 5D is an interactive dark ride that takes riders on an exciting journey through three different worlds - Pirate, Orient and Mayan - before heading to New York City.
Riders are equipped with laser guns and 3D glasses to score points by fighting flying slime ghosts alongside the Ghostbusters.

It was designed and installed by Canadian multi-sensory interactive attractions specialist Triotech.
Theming for the attraction was designed by Scruffy Dog and Merlin Entertainments, who studied the visual styles and architecture used in the franchise to create the 'weird and wonderful' land.

Sabrina de Carvalho, divisional director at Heide Park Resort, says: “I am happy that with Ghostbusters 5D, we are able to offer our third family adventure and Heide Park’s first indoor attraction to our guests. The complex technology was a special challenge for the entire team, so the positive response is all the more welcome.”
The ride was opened on 11 April 2017 by German model Alena Gerber and actress Jenny Elvers.

Heide Park has also opened four Ghostbusters themed rooms in its hotel. The rooms accommodate up to six people and feature Ghostbusters themed decor.
