Hey CF,
So after a long old vacation from the forums and the enthusiast side of theme parks, I've been busy catching up a bit. After thinking how I'll miss G Force, I remembered that I'd often wondered about Premier's Sky Rocket design, specifically about how much it looks like a rip-off of Maurer's X Car. Admittedly, it would appear they have made a much bigger success of it, but the similarities are clear. From the layouts, which often feature a sky loop type element, to the 6 seater vehicles used in the trains. There's also loads of the concepts I remember reading years back on Maurer's X car web page that could be built into future X car designs, that Premier have merrily stuck into theirs.
So what I'm asking is, does anyone know if Premier bought some of the rights/concepts/copy righted X car bits, or is it just a not too discreet attempt at doing something remarkably similar to Maurer (just better)?
