Clones of Rides That Change The Ride System

[Sharon&Susan]

I recently found out that Minion Madness at USJ uses the BTTF ride system instead of the ride system at USH and USO. Another cloned ride that changes the ride system is TOT at DCA, which is why the fifth dimension scene was cut. What other clones of rides either slightly change the ride system or use a radically different ride system?

People Mover is a notable one. Disneyland's uses wheels on a track whereas WDW uses magnets. For purely argumentative sake I would also add in Dumbo as it is a much older variation on the technology at Tokyo than all the other parks.

Does Harry Potter and journey into imagination both having a turntable count? My mind was blown when I found that out.
EDIT: also same ride system as sum of all thrills but with more movement.

Stitch Encounter at Shanghai is Turtle Talk, not Alien Encounter.

If you consider Kongfrontation, Earthquake: The Big One and Jaws clones of the tram scenes, they changed the ride cars for all of them.

Not sure if you really want to count dual-track Florida Space Mountain vs. the single track California Space Mountain vs. the launched long train Space Mountain at Paris.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea from WDW was mostly just a clone of Disneyland's Submarine Voyage while the attraction of the same name at Tokyo Disney Sea is more akin to a Peter Pan style dark ride.

The Storybook Land Canal Boats in Disneyland are piloted by Cast Members, who give live narration and control the speed. At Parc Disneyland in Paris, they are an omnimover-type attraction with pre-recorded narration.

Similarly, Casey Jr. Circus Train in Disneyland is a Cast Member-driven vehicle, with gentle slopes and flat turns. In Paris, Casey Jr. Le Petit Train Du Cirque is a roller coaster-esque attraction, with higher speeds and banked turns.

The Seas with Nemo and Friends (Epcot Omnimover) and Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage. A lot of cloned scenes with one being more of an aquarium premise, and the other in a sub

I feel like a lot in this list aren't really even clones.

Yeah they’re not... Two different rides with the same theme are not “clones”. This is why I’ve always thought it’s ridiculous how much people try to compare U.S. Pooh rides and Hunny Hunt. Two entirely different rides.

We compare them because they were built around the same time and one is clearly better than the other.

Frozen Ever After at Epcot versus Hong Kong sounds like it might fit your criteria. The show scenes sound all the same, but they are going to go after the bigger Shanghai Pirates boats.


I agree with other posters that a lot of rides listed aren't really "clones".

To be fair, if the ride system is different, then by definition it is no longer a clone

That is more than famous. It's In Famous.

I think the point is "rides with the same name", like Tower of Terror.

Space Mountains have and Splash Mountains have different configurations, so those might be included.

How about two things that have almost the same name AND the same ride system, except they look completely different and only one of them is an operating ride, and there’s an actual clone of the former next to the latter except the actual clone doesn’t share the same name?
