CP Clones

I was wondering if any park has a clone of a Cedar Point Ride. if so could you give the name of it

Raptor was cloned somewhere in Japan. Orochi or something like that. its on RCDB if you really want to search for it.

Do any of you know how to build a sundial out of a pen and a donut?
uh oh, sounds like someone has a case of the mondays.

Wildcat at CP is a Schwarzkopf production coaster. You can find clones all around the world. There are litterally dozens of them. Click below for locations..

CP has more clones than meets the eye. The following are all standard factory models found in at least one other park:

Wildcat, Corkscrew, Disaster Transport, Demon Drop, Woodstock's Express, Jr Gemini.

Eh? Disaster Transport and Jr. Gemini are standard factory models? I can see Jr. Gemini maybe (I certainly haven't actually SEEN one like it, but it's a kiddie afterall) but where is another bobsled like Disaster Transport? I can't think of one. Not to mention Corky is different from any other Corkscrew, but I'll concede that one to ya. :)

Oprylands "Screamin Delta Demon" is cloned from CP's Disaster Transport, I believe. It's defunct now of course, but aside from the theming the ride was almost exact. The vehicles at Opryland had tandem seating however.

I *thought* DT was a standard bobsled, but haven't ever seen it "in the light of day"....Corkscrew is definitely the FIRST, but it's a standard "loopscrew".....

Personally, I wish CF was more into 'cloning' than they are. I sure could use a Gemini clone 20 minutes from home...

Legendary - I stand corrected...upon further investigation I've discovered CP's Corkscrew is not a clone. My bad!

I'm pretty sure that Wildcat is a custom design as well. At least I think I heard Rideman say that once.

Chang is pretty darn close to Mantis. It's a mirror image clone up through the first flat spin.

I think the Wildcat is a production model.

There was one at the SC state fair according to Starcoasters (in recent news)

Magic Mountain had a Wildcat, too [Mountain Express]. There are many of them.

Legendary, see La Vibora at SFOT for another Intamin bobsled like Disaster Transportt.

Dude, you're getting an Intamin!

actually raptor has been cloned twice....

search RCDB for 'Orochi' and 'Katun'

Actually, Katun is a larger version with a slightly different layout.

Orochi looks awesome... at night. Many Japanese coasters are painted white, but have colored lights shine on them at night. Think about MF's lifthill at night, its the same idea.
