Raptor Clone
Ah, but you're missing the point of the "clone" then. Most of the general public isn't AWARE that coasters are "cloned", especially when talking about a coaster in Ohio and one in Japan! Cloning saves on design costs, and allows a park to drop a coaster in. These things aren't built specifically for people who travel the world to hit them. Unique coasters are cool, but clones have been with us for a long time, and they're here to stay.

No, but enthusiasts account for less than .1% of the people who visit a park. John Q. Guest probably doesn't know that there are several dozen boomerangs throughout the world.

Moreover, they dont care. A girl @ SFGAdv said Medusa was "just like Batman at Six Flags in Ohio, they just painted it green". Okay, while not exactly correct this is mostly right.
I still dont know why people get their panties in such a bunch over clones. Hell, even boomerangs are somewhat cool.

Miirablandia is either near Venice or near Florence. When I was in Italy last year I saw a billboard for it.
Yeah I was in Italy last spring break with a group of friends and was desperately trying to convince them to go there but to no avail. i did not know exactly where it was in relation to Venice or Florence. Another thing that was cool, though was a saw alot of advertisements for Gardaland in the Lake Garda region in Italy. Unforunately it was closed until april and i was there in march.
