LOL @ SFGam promo

[Timmy179]

can you tell me whats wrong with this picture?

[CoasterDude04]

That's not our Superman. It looks like a Vekoma. That's the only thing I can see wrong with it.

That's a Vekoma Flying Dutchman. SF actually does this a lot where they'll have a similar ride in place of its real ride. As long as it LOOKS like it, most of the GP will assume it is Superman.

[Timmy179]

The thing is, there are no Vekoma Flying dutchmen painted red blue and yellow, so that means that SF took the time to get a picture of a ride that isnt theirs, and took the time to photoshop the picture, so that it looked like Superman.

Batwing would be my bet for the Photoshop Job. Change the tint on those purple supports to make them blue, then add red to the yellow track.

If SFI thinks its cheaper to pay someone to digitally alter a photo, rather than pay someone to just take a photo of the real ride (or use a stock photo of S:UF at SFOG or SFGADV) then that might explain why they tend to be in the red.

For them to do that is false advertisement. Although the coasters may seem similar, they're not. Someone could take them to court if they felt deceived.

How is it false advertising?

That ride is not labeled "Superman: Ultimate Flight" on the flyer. There are not advertising it as such, therefore that is not false advertising.

You seem very concerned. Were you decieved? OK then sue the company, and contribute MORE to the already clogged court system with another frivolous lawsuit.

You're just as bad as the people who sue Mc Donalds because they are fat. Are you fat too?

Calm down man. I'm just saying that some people may see it that way. I don't think that Six Flags intentionally placed the marketing pieces that way, but if its not a part of the park then they shouldn't place it on the ad.
They could have placed a picture of S:UF on it. It's not like they don't have any pics of the coaster to post it on their merchadising products.

In terms of my thought, I already knew that the ride wasn't a part of the park because I generally research my info before pursuing it (i.e. coming to this forum or going to other websites).

FYI: I'm not fat.

[greatamerica2003]

It was just an easy comment to pick on.

[colincoon]

I have SFOG park map from when SUF was new and it has a Flying Dutchman on the front of it. You could tell it was batwing. Kinda sad really as they could have just taken a picture of it instead. Oh well!

The Commercials for Six Flags Great America Hurricane Harbor doesnt even show OUR HURRICANE HARBOR

[colincoon]

It has raging bull though! Yeah I watched that commericial today and was like WTF? It has SFMM in all of their commericials, but it looked like it was all SFMM aexcept for a half second clip of RB. Odd, but incredably interesting!

And I'm sure 98% of the GP has NO idea about any of this. Bottom line: Doesn't matter.

[Timmy179]

w00dland... no one ever said it mattered, I just thought it was humorous.



It is NOT false advertisement because they werent advertising anything....
