Ghost Blasters is an interactive dark ride franchise, designed and created by Sally Corporation. The franchise includes many locations at various amusement parks throughout the United States and Canada. Riders on "Ghost Blasters" are equipped with laser guns, as the attraction travels through a themed "haunted manor". The goal of the attraction is to accumulate a high score by aiming and firing at lit targets.

Years after Cedar Fair acquired Paramount Parks, the Scooby-Doo themed dark rides from Kings Island, Carowinds, Kings Dominion and Canada's Wonderland were modified and renamed Boo Blasters on Boo Hill, as this ride is made by the same company and is nearly identical to the original Ghost Blasters. The experience for these rides are based on the refurbished Ghost Blasters II at Elitch Gardens with the gunfire sound effect being borrowed from the original Ghost Blasters.
