Ghost Hunters II (Japanese: ゴーストハンターズII) is a Tracked Dark Ride designed by Sega AM5 previously located at Shinjuku Joypolis in Sendagaya, Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan.

It was located on the tenth floor opposite Murder Lodge and Fortune Museum[1] within the "Cool Down" area.[2]

History

The ride opened with the park on 4 October 1996 using the Ghost Hunters II software rendition previously seen in Yokohama.[3][4]

At the beginning of 1997, it was replaced with the Treasure Panic software rendition seen at Tokyo Joypolis.[5] Known as Ghost Hunters - Treasure Panic (Japanese: ゴーストハンターズ~隠された財宝), it featured improved visual effects and depth.[6]

By 1998, the attraction reverted to Ghost Hunters II and remained in this form until the park's closure at the end of August 2000.
