By the way, the BTTF/ Doc Brown promo is a great find. I've never seen it before.
I heart Rhapsody.

And fixed all the broken links on GBHQ just for her.

Edit:

PS: While everyone's taking a trip down memory lane, behold the primitive HTML coding that was Universal Studios Florida's Ghostbusters Spooktacular section of their official website back in 1995/1996.

That's not Wayne in the above picture, but this is for certain:
Image

As a side note, one of the other men in that picture has been in a few Emmy nominated films, television shows, and a couple of Academy Award winning films as I type this. Not as an extra, but as an actor with very legit , impressive roles...not necessarily large roles, yet a bit noteworthy and memorable.

He's 'that guy' that can walk down the street in peace, yet still collect a great actor paycheck even now. USF was indeed a springboard for many.
As on another thread, he is the proverbial UNKNOWN, yet still a working actor and has been for years and does not live in either LA or New York. Matter of fact, he's in one of the top grossing films of 2009!

Back to the Wayne topic. Here's another very, very blurry pic which is supposedly Wayne as a USF GB . It's been floating around the internet for a while. Still, it's so blurry that I can't seem to confirm it.
If I had to lean one way or another though, I lean towards, "Yes, that is Wayne."
This one:

Just by my ears alone I could tell that it was Maurice LaMarche performing not just Egon but Peter also for the Spooktacular show.
LaMarche also did the Bill Murray impression at the end of the episode "Take Two" from The Real Ghostbusters. You won't find a credit for it but I can absolutely tell that it was him.

Something i've always wondered...The firehouse facade they built doesn't exactly resemble FDNY Ladder 8's....it seems to be an amalgam of FDNY Engine 55's and FDNY Engine 33/Ladder 9's:

Engine 55(Little Italy)Fun Fact: Actor Steve Buscemi worked here for 4 years and after 9/11 went to work down at Ground Zero, digging along with his fellow firefighters for months, un-noticed.

Engine 33/Ladder 9(Bowery):

That's why they are called amusement parks now. They only amuse people.

I've been searching for anything about the show recently. Some cool stuff I found:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5T5PR-oIDeA - Good view of pre-show packs and what-not.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPQ-Yl9t3xo - the greatest billboard of all time

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0Pv84jCHoE - What the exterior looked like during the first year

Thanks for sharing those. I really liked the first one where you could see Louis in the Pre-show up close.
