Refurbishment1993#

StreetBusters was retired after its final season and did not return.

The 1993 year is stated twice in this article (the StreetBusters section and the History prose, 'performed from 1991 until 1993') but the section carries a Citation needed tag dated June 2011 and no independent source could be reached, so no precision finer than the year is supported. A separate street show, Extreme Ghostbusters: The Great Fright Way, revived the concept in the same New York area in 2002 and was discontinued in 2005; Wikipedia lists it as its own entry, so it is not recorded here as part of StreetBusters' own run.

1991

New1991#

StreetBusters opened as a seasonal street show in the park's New York area, in which the Ghostbusters attempted to catch Beetlejuice.

Wikipedia dates the debut to early 1991 and cites a New York Times travel item of April 21, 1991 ('Travel Advisory; Universal Adds 3 Shows in Florida'), which is paywalled and could not be opened directly, so confidence is held at medium. The June 7, 1990 date in the research brief is the park's own opening day, not this show's. The Universal Studios Florida article lists StreetBusters among the attractions added in 1991, alongside The Blues Brothers Show, The Screen Test Home Video Adventure and How to Make a Mega Movie Deal.
