Superman:The Ride clone of RnR?

Is the Superman at Six Flags Holland a clone of RnR at MGM?

Someone said it was, but I never really figured it out.

The legend lives!

It sure is.  As far as I can tell, an almost exact clone.

They are both clones. The differences between the 2 is that the 2 RnRC has a block brake on each of the 2 flats during the ride, while STR has nothing. Also, remember, there is a second station and more transfer tracks on the 2 RnRC!

Uhh... Absimilliard... then they aren't clones if there are that many differences... it's almost like calling Stealth & X-Flight clones, but they aren't... they're just pretty similar.

Ok, what's new for 2003?? I can't wait!!...
The layout is the same. Its just that Disney Imagineering did modifications to the ride system and station configuration (for capacity.... do you see CP doing that?), the ride itself is not touched. Its not trimmed in the 2 block brakes.
