Which cloned ride is better than the other clones?

[coasterbill]

I've been on most slc coasters in the states, and for some reason the Michigan's adventure version is the only tolerable one.

Weird thing is, when it was at Geauga lake I felt the same way about it.

 

I haven't ridden it at MA but I agree, when it was at Geauga Lake I loved it and I sort of remember everyone always raving about how it was so much better than every SLC with no explanation as to how that was possible. I'm glad to hear that it held up after the relocation. Long live "Serial Thriller". lol

Actually, I remember us riding The Batman SLC in Six Flags Mexico, during the 2013 TPR Tour. And...it was great!

Everybody was surprised by this, as it was pretty smooth and the transitons weren't as jarring as they've been on other clones.

A surprisingly smooth and fun SLC! We were shocked!

I like SLC's. . .

 

I'm just curious but were you by any chance dropped, or thrown on your head as a child??

Maybe he has a passion for vacuum cleaners?

Superman at SFOG

Boomerang at Carowinds (is the smoother of the 2 I've ridden)

Batman The Dark Knight at SF Great Adventure is the best Wild Mouse I've ridden.

Tempesto for its clones because of colors, theming, longer trains, and its park is the best

 

And the OTSR's aren't bad imo

100% true!!

I found Phobia to be much better than Tempesto in terms of restraints, force, and overall experience.

RoS at DL is way better than RoS at SFA, I had the chance to ride both this summer. Not only due to a new train that is suprisingly comfortable, but the drop going over water gives a pretty cool effect during the day and at night. Seriously an underrated ride when you consider the airtime it has on a 90+ degree day with a full train.

I'm going to SFOT tomorrow. Based on what was posted here, I'm a bit excited about riding Batman there

[chickenbowl]

A few came to mind:

Mega-Lite clones: Kawasemi

Eejanaika/Dinoconda: Eejanaika

Batman clones: SWSA

Bullet Coaster clones: Shenzhen

Sheikra clones: Happy Valley Shanghai because extra airtime

 

Is there a big difference between the Intamin mega lites?? I always thought they ran really similar.

Kawasemi is better maintained than the one at Happy Valley shanghai, that's the difference I noticed.

In case of Boomerangs Speed of Sound directly came into my mind. EDM, LED light tunnel, new trains with good onboard audio...

 

I also think Blue Tornado at Gardaland was quite enjoyable, it wasn't as rough as the other SLCs and it has a bonus helix

 

And Crush's Coaster is the best out of the SC 2000s for me.

[SixFlagsAstroworld]

Well, I'm having trouble deciding between SFOT Batman and SFSTL Batman.

 

SFOT- a bit rough to me but it has awesome theming!

 

SFSTL- smooth and forceful but has lame theming

Boomerang: Cobra @ Power Park

SLC: Thunderhawk @ Michigans Adventure

Batman Clone: Vampire @ La Ronde

Wild Mouse: Wild Mouse @ Lagoon

SC 2000: Crush's Coaster @ Walt Disney Studios Park

SLC: Thunderhawk @ Michigans Adventure

Wild Mouse: Wild Mouse @ Lagoon

SC 2000: Crush's Coaster @ Walt Disney Studios Park

 

 

Vampire is a mirror of Batman. All Batman the rides start with a left off the drop ...Vampire starts with a right and all the rest of the turns are reverse of Batman...ie a mirror

Ehhh. You're right, but I'd still consider it a clone in this context

Double post

[Angle O. Descent]

B&M Batmans: all equal except Magic Mountain (rougher than the rest)

Vekoma SLC: I avoid most like a plague, but Mind Eraser at Darien Lake was most tolerable

Vekoma Flying Dutchman: Batwing at SF America

Vekoma Boomerangs: Bat at Canada's Wonderland (train is from their Arrow Looper)

Premier LIM: Joker's Jinx / Poltergeist (vs. Flight of Fear)

Maurer XC2000: Laff Trakk at Hershey

Reverchon Spinning: Exterminator at Kennywood (during Phantom Fright Nights)

Zamperla Volare Flyer: any one that gets demolished before another

[historyfreak92]

I would like all three batman clones from SWSA, SFFT, & SFOT! The other clone I really like is an Vekoma SLC Serial Thriller where Astroworld used to be! It wasn't very bad! It would always be my first starter coaster!
