The DLC comes with a Slimer themed rollercoaster called RollerGhoster.

The Ghostbusters DLC for Planet Coaster adds not only a load of Ghostbusters themed logos, characters and other set pieces that can be used all over your park. It also comes with a kiddie Slimer themed rollercoaster called RollerGhoster (geddit?) and a dark shooting ride (The Ghostbusters Experience). This DLC has added storyline content in the form of challenges to complete. The story-driven scenario employs the vocal talents of Dan Aykroyd and William Atherton, who voice their roles as iconic Ghostbusters’ co-founder, Raymond Stantz, and Special Agent Walter Peck, from the 1984 movie.

We get a new staff member in the form of a Stay Puft Marshmallow Man novelty park mascot as well as a driveable ECTO-1 Ghostbusters car which you can drive around your park. And the Stay Puft Marshmallow brand is available through new shops and a vending machine.

We also get lots of authentic scenery pieces and sounds straight from the 1984 original movie, including the Ghostbusters HQ, Spook Central, ECTO-1 and Ray Parker Jr’s classic Ghostbusters theme; 'Ghostbusters (Instrumental Version)'; 'Ghostbusters (Acoustic Arrangement)' and 'Ghostbusters (Orchestral Arrangement)'. And for large pieces we get a spooky Library scene setter and The Temple of Gozer.

You can drive the ECTO-1 Ghostbusters car around your park.

While the additional storyline challenges are engaging and enjoyable, this DLC is let down a little by the fact that you'll need to be a huge Ghostbusters fan to begin with. I can't imagine fashioning an entire park out of the Ghostbusters pieces, but as a little corner in an established park it does make for an interesting change of pace.

Once again, Frontier has done a remarkable job of adding so much detail and thought into this pack. It's still a wonderful DLC, just slightly less interesting to me when compared to the other DLCs currently out there.
