GaryH said:The more I think about this...
X-Sector (modern, fantasy, off bounds to the public)
Oblivion (scary, modern, ride of no return, looks imposing)
Submission (again scary, a ride that will control you, looks impressive (when working!!)
Enterprise (ok, everyone knows it well old!!)
Then we have.... The Smiler. Ummm, is it just me, or does this not really fit in with the overall "feel" of X-Sector. Its like putting a ride called "Brain Smasher" in the middle of Old McDonalds Farm Yard. In fact, "The Smiler" sounds like it would be better suited to Old McDonalds Farm!!!

AFAIK, no law is being broken, but it's clearly not within the spirit of the marketing campaign.NastyPasty said:I can't believe they've actually done that. Surely it breaks some kind of law for pilots?
GaryH said:You gotta admit though that "Forbidden Valley" and "Nemesis" do go together. If anything "Air" is the stupidly named one in that area!! Maybe thats Alton's new plan - place a stupidly named ride in each section. Dark Forest already has Rita!!!!!!!

This track is dangerous and needs to be kept away from the other track.
DoubleOh7 said:As much as I wish it was the logos name I'm not entirely sure it is.....surely its logos and images that are copyrighted rather than trademarking a logo description if that makes sense? For example I imagine Olivions logo is trademarked somewhere but has anyone ever seen it having a name?
