Nearly four months later, the Ecto-1 from “Ghostbusters” has been added to the Universal Mega Movie Parade at Universal Studios Florida.
Ghostbusters Ecto-1 Added to Universal Mega Movie Parade
The Ecto-1 appears before the main Ghostbusters float in the parade. The car is covered in mischievous Mini-Pufts, which are also present in the “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” haunted house at Halloween Horror Nights in both Orlando and Hollywood.
This version of the iconic vehicle features the gunner seat introduced in the re-quel film, “Ghostbusters: Afterlife.” In the parade, the character Phoebe from sits in the seat and waves to guests. She is played by Mckenna Grace in the films.
Mini-Pufts continue their mayhem onto the roof and back of the car. Some of the static figures rotate in place, but most are stationary. They are a bit larger than their on-screen counterparts.

Universal Mega Movie Parade debuted in technical rehearsal on July 3, 2024. Its final performance of the season is scheduled for Thursday, November 14. The Ecto-1 officially made its debut on Wednesday, October 30.
In addition to the “Ghostbusters” unit, the parade also features other films, including “Back to the Future,” “Jaws,” “E.T.,” “Jurassic World,” Illumination’s “Minions” and “Sing,” and DreamWorks Animations “Kung Fu Panda” and “Trolls.”
The parade first debuted alongside the 2024 Summer Tribute Store, which is still open to guests at the time of publication. There are also special bubble wands available for purchase that can interact with the show.
Another new float was added back in September — a raptor paddock for the “Jurassic World” unit. The float is recycled from Universal Studios Japan’s Spectacle Night Parade.
