Operation Ghost Dance is the fifth mission in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six. Its multiplayer counterpart is Water Ride.
Mission Objective[]
Members of a radical Neo-Marxist group have taken several families hostage at the WorldPark amusement center in Spain. Your mission is to rescue them and neutralize the terrorists.
Briefing[]
John Clark: Park security is contracted out to a private company called Global Security. They're also handling security at the summer games in Sydney next month so they want to keep publicity about this World Park incident to a minimum. The Spanish authorities and the park management feel the same way - this is a potential public relations nightmare for all of them. We go in, we get the kids, and we get out.
Mission Orders[]
Left-wing terrorists have taken over the Pirate Adventure ride at the WorldPark amusement park in Barcelona. Several tourists are being held hostage in the center of the attraction.
Park security has sealed off the area around the ride. Access to the building is provided through both a main entrance and a back alley. The public areas of the attraction are connected together by a system of maintenance passages and catwalks used by the WorldPark staff.
Trivia[]
- Although this mission has the least amount of terrorists (unless if comparing it on Elite to Operation: Steel Wind on Recruit), it also has the most amount of hostages, making it the easiest or most difficult mission depending on the player's skills.
- When the boy or girl hostage are killed or wounded, the cry they may let out sounds like that of an adult.
- In the novel, over 30 children were held captive and one terminally-ill Dutch girl was executed. This differs from the story because there are less hostages, adult hostages are present, and there is no word of executed hostages.
- Although this was a public incident, John Clark states in the briefing section that publicity must be kept at a minimum since the security of WorldPark, Global Security, was to be the security provided during the Summer Olympics later in the game. This is proven true as a Newswire section regarding this mission after its completion is non-existent.
- On Veteran and Elite, this is the 2nd and final mission in which an undetected hostage is being searched for by terrorists and will be executed if found (the first being the ambassador in Operation: Steel Wind at any difficulty.
- Force 10-18's organization bio found while planning this mission or anyone after is the only organizational bio in the game that uses pictures of real people.
- On some versions of the game, there is a glitch which prevents the player from completing this mission without cheating. The glitch limits the amount of terrorists spawning in the map, which leaves most of it unprotected. However, the glitch also removes one of the hostages, leaving four behind. Since all of the hostages must be escorted to the safe zone, this renders the mission un-completable. If this happens, players can enter debug mode via the console, on the PC version, and force the mission to end.
- The male terrorist model in this mission is reused in the Eagle Watch expansion mission Operation: Sapphire Rising, but as a hostage rather than a terrorist.
