I'm confused. To the best of my knowledge, I did not think Viper was a clone of any specific coaster. It was built in-house by Six Flags, I do believe. I know that it resembles a cyclone, but does that really make it a clone?"

Viper is basically a mirror image of the Coney Island Cyclone. Only a few differences, but I think it is one of the closest clones to date (except it is mirrored, but so is the S:ROS clone.)

Cmon, lets not forget about the impulses! ;)

I think all of the clones have their place, particulary boomerangs and such for smaller parks that can't afford the bigger rides yet.

However, new creative things are also high in my demand for park rides

RAPTOR!

Raptor I do believe is the best of all of the Inverts

When was Raptor cloned, and where? I thought it was a one-of-a-kind layout.

I wonder if that Raptor was an exact clone. I only saw a picture of it, not the stats.

The one in Japan was the one cloned. Raptor was first, by two years. It's called Orochi, and is an exact clone of Raptor (except it's white). It was built in '96.
