A ride is a ride is a ride. The only one who has the say on if they can do it or not is the manufacture. Cedar Point doesn't have any patent on that ride... just a copyright on the name, logo, and probably theme... but the actual layout & ride is all Intamin, so any park could purchase one just like it if they wanted.
The same goes for any other ride that is original now (which is what happened to Superman at SFDL... it was original for 1 year, then got cloned, and may get cloned again ;) ).
All in all, if a design was not actually created by the park, the manufactuer can do whatever they want with their design.

It just may get cloned again. Now wouldn't that be GREAT *wink*wink*
Of course, I'd rather have a clone of Supes from SFNE. Looks darn amazing.

Don't put anyone on a pedestal, because then people will point and laugh at them.
