I feel like I make a Boo Blasters replacement post every other month, but my latest idea is called
"Ghost Tour."CONCEPT: VR attraction similar to Battle for Eire at BGW.
THEME: Guests enter into a theater with a facade similar to Charleston's Dock Street Theater (pictured above). As they sit down and equip the VR headsets, the theater begins to move. The theater is transported to the world of the dead, where riders race through the streets of Charleston and come face to face with some of its most horrifying ghosts. The ride concludes with a finale over the harbor, where a ghost pirate ship emerges from the water, attempting to permanently trap riders within the realm of the dead. The theater successfully makes it back to the world of the living and the guests exit the ride.
QUEUE:

For the queue, I would remove the outdoor one and place it completely inside. This isn't completely necessary, but it would help guests feels as if they were entering into a real theater by going straight through the entrance doors.
The queue would be a dark lobby with a pre-show on the TV hinting to guests about the experience.
Overall, I feel that this would be a much better use of the space than what currently sits there. While I love Boo Blasters, half the time the animatronics aren't working, and Plantz vs. Zombies is probably less than 100 yards away if I want my shooting fix. This would bring an original and technologically advanced ride into the park, and it would be easier to maintain in the long run.
