Hopefully, they will not just clone X for other parks, as it would be a huge improvement to make it larger and longer. However, when they do decide to make clones, be it of X, or the next generation 4D, they should make variations on the 2nd set of rails (the ones that make it flip).
Most of the stats for construction would remain the same, length, height, # of track pieces, footer locations, etc... But the actual ride experience could be different.
It would be great to look at the ride and think, "This is just a clone, I know exactly what to expect", only to be totally surprised when you ride it, because the flips are different.
I wouldn't think this would take too much effort on Arrow's part. It would offer all the benefits to the manufacturer and the parks that cloning offers, while still benefiting the patrons of the parks by providing a different experience on each "clone".

Current favorite coasters:
Wooden: 1) Beast 2) Raven 3) Son of Beast 4) The Boss 5) Timber Wolf
Steel: 1) Raging Bull 2) Millennium Force 3) V2 4) Wild Thing 5) Mr. Freeze
Could you imagine riding one side and doing some mild flips, while the other side does twice as more flipping?
Talk about possibilities.
