Default I smell a law suit in australia!

Hey I was snooping around the net and I found this webpage for Superman Escape. It's a new ride in Movie World in Austrailia. And on the video. They show Xcelerator, not the Superman Escape. How stupid is that?

Check it out for yourself.

Xcelerator and Superman Escape are way different. Superman Escape has blue supports and the outside top hat is different, and its not as tall as Xcelerator.

Coincidently if you see the Space Mountain Advertisements for our version if you look really carefully they are really showing clips from three things a.)Mission:Space(the circular thing you see in the queue area),b.)The coaster trains for Disneyland Paris' version of Space Mountain, and c.)they show the wdw version trains for the actually ride, and come on our is not with a red cap its blue, and we have double capacity rather than WDW's version of Space Mountain. So basically it justs grabs peoples attention, and plus the company who could have made Superman Escape is the same company that made Xcelerator. So in a way if they are both made by the same company that makes the roller coaster itself, then obviously they do have the rights to give advertisement for the coaster previews itself.

What, you want them to show video footage from a ride that hasn't completed construction? That'd be an interesting advertisment...

They are the similar type of ride but if you view the on ride video here, then you will notice that Xcelerater and this ride are different! Superman at this park is not as tall as the hill in Knotts and it starts indoor. I don't think that Six Flags Copyrighted "Superman Escape".
