As with any kind of rumour, this information should be considered unofficial until Universal Orlando officially confirms.
According to Screamscape, a Luigi’s Mansion-themed attraction is a part of Universal’s Epic Universe phase two (attractions and expansion).
“With Mario being the main hero of the Mario-Kart ride, Donkey Kong has a coaster, and there is the cute Yoshi themed family ride, it is only fair that Luigi finally gets to have his own attraction, right? So how would you feel about a ride based on the Luigi’s Mansion game series that sends Mario’s brother on his own epic journey into a dark Haunted House with a flashlight?”
Lance Hart, Screamscape
Additional quote:
“The early description sent to Screamscape sort of sounds like Universal’s Villain-Con and The Secret Life of Pets attraction in Hollywood had a very twisted offspring. Guests would ride in an omni-mover style vehicle system through dark Luigi’s Mansion, but be given a special hand-held flashlight that uses modified Villain-Con blaster tech to bring some ghosts to life when you point at them. I’m not quite sure if you car will feature its own Poltergeist ghost-vacuum or if you are just lighting up the ghosts for Luigi to come along with suck them up.”
