Favorite Common Clone

So, which is your favorite of the clones?

If you pick "other", please state which one, and also, please limit it to coasters with at least 3 clones. I'm sorry, I know there are dozens of clones out there, I just tried to come up with the most widely produced/most liked clones.

For me, I will go with Batman, which are generally very nice coasters that pack some great intensity into a 3-s ride: smooth, short and sweet!

i voted "other" because my fav clone would have to be the cyclone clones, like viper, psyclone, aska, wild wild west, etc.

I went with B:TR because it was the best on the list. What are considering a clone? Two, three, four?

Would FOF count? There's two of those, and also it's almost the same as Joker's Jinx (SFA) and Poltergeist (SFFT). I wasn't sure if it would count so I voted for SUF.

Raptor or SRoS (SFDL & SFA) would be the best clones, but since you limited it to those with more than 2, I pick B:TR.

EDIT: After today's ride on Deja Vu in the front, I have to change my pick to GIBs.

I went with the majority and voted Batman. It is just a fun ride...not the best, not the worst, but still a powerful, fun ride. And it is a great inverted coaster besides one of B&M's best and that is also one of the reasons it was cloned so many times.

Yea, Schwarzkopf Shuttle Loops are a close second, without a doubt.

Looks like Batman is cleaning up, I thought Superman and Deja Vu would have done better.

Amen Brotha! I can't believe BTR is getting so many votes.. I mean it's nice, but the classic feel of a Schwarzy Shuttle Loop is unmatched!

How incredibly logical! Too bad I can't really think of any clones in Florida that you would have adventured on yet. There have got to be some somewhere in Florida though.

The best clone would probably be Raptor. Orochi I don't think has quite the setting that Raptor does according to some pictures. Plus the pink tinted track is the opposite of an orgasm.

^Isn't that just lovely?

Don't forgot G5 and Oblivion are mirrors of each other.
