Fun Facts
In Heavy Spirits
- You probably think ghosts are pretty light, what with all that wispy stuff you see seeping under doors in films. Well, Hollywood tends to bend reality to its own aims. We can tell you that our larger-than-life ghosts collectively weigh in at over 19 tons. They're big boys and girls--some top the charts at 16 feet and more. And some could really eat more salads and maybe climb a few stairs.
Don't Lose Your Head!
- Kids, pay attention in chemistry class. Learn your ions, anions and onions, and someday you might be responsible for generating 11.2 tons of liquid nitrogen--as our technicians do each day for this show.
- The 1980s were big for melding music with computers, and Depeche Mode, Howard Jones and Blondie climbed the charts with mechanistic sounds. But even the stage shows of these electronic pioneers don't compare to the Ghostbusters show, where computers sift through over 2,300 separate cues.
A Superior After-School Snack
- The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man is 22 feet high, 22 feet wide and 18 feet deep. The Ghostbusters are always trying to chase him to Hershey, Pennsylvania, where they hope to toast him -- and toast him s'more. (But who'll bring the graham crackers?)
Who's Who in the Spirit World?
- Ghostbusters (1985) and Ghostbusters II (1989) starred Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver, Rick Moranis and Annie Potts.
