Why did RCT2 leave out all the rides with "Superma

I think its because they couldnt get the rights to use those names. It pissed me off that they left out Batman and robin, and changed Superman: The Escape to just the escape

Anybody else know why the did this?

You've pretty much got it. It's called licensing.
The Publisher paid big bucks to Six Flags to use their logos and parks in the game (with the idea being that having a recognizable brand like Six Flags on the cover would sell more games, justifying the expense.) Since Six Flags doesn't own the Superheroes but rather licenses them themselves, the publisher of the game would've had to have paid even more money to D.C., the one who holds the copyrights to the characters, in order to use their names and/or likenesses in the game.

Touchè, teacher, touchè.

Guess how long it takes you to rename "The Escape" to "Superman: The Escape?"

Just took me about 1 second to type the word Superman... ;)

I'm a loser.

I heard they couldn't get the license to the DC Comics (Superman, Batman, Riddler,etc..)

What I wonder is why Chris Sawyer didn't at least place recreations of the rides in the pre-built section and call them names like" six flags inverted coaster" or "Sfmm Standup twister". It would've made his senario goal of "build the missing six flags rides" make more since to the general public that maybe have never been to one of the parks

Well -- if they'd included the rides, would "Build the missing rides." really have made any sense at all? :)

25.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

I didn't mean have the rides in the parks. I meant have them in your track files so people unfamiliar with the park would have to place the right rides in the park
