Hey, at least Dino-Rama's is nicer than that one. Dino-Rama's has theming.

Mr. Six's Pandemonium at SFNE is a spinning coaster...but at least it's not a clone.
Wasn't it well known that this was a clone before it even went up? Or, was PWhirl the first and it was cloned?

I see it as a tad bit insulting to be on a clone ride from another park. I have always thought that Disney was cutting edge, that they had a neighborhood of think tanks whose sole purpose was to create cool innovative attractions for Disney alone. Now I feel cheated

Well, never go on Rock'N'Rollercoaster again. The ride was turnkey design that is in Six Flags Holland. The only difference? Theming, a building, and a lot of speakers.

The ONLY difference? isn't that the ENTIRE difference?
Theming, the building, and the speakers change it from an ordinary rollercoaster, to an experience with a storyline.
It's kind of like saying that an omnimover attraction is cloned from Disney...but Disney's is housed in a giant geosphere, has multiple animatronics, and a soundtrack
(Not picking on you...just quoting your post...just trying to get the point across that the technology is out there for everybody to use...but what makes it a "classic" attraction or "Disney quality" is the theming and the storylines.) Even Mission:Space's ride technology isn't "a Disney first"...what IS a Disney first is the experience that is combined with that technology.

There are many manufacturers of Wild Mouse coasters and many look alike, though there are subtle differences between each model. Mr. Six's Pandemonium is of the 'new generation' of Wild Mouse coasters and is manufactured by Gerstlauer.
Animal Kingdom's Primeval Whirl was manufactured by Reverchon, a French company. It was, by no means, the first of its kind. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril and Raging Spirits are each clones as well. Most people, for better or for worse, can't tell the difference and are just as likely to assume a coaster is a clone because it has the same name or color scheme as another. Goofy's Barnstormer and Gadget's Go Coaster? Clones. Mulholland Madness? Clone, though not of Primeval Whirl, interestingly.
In Rock n' Roller Coaster's case, Superman at Six Flags Holland was built after the MGM ride opened. I imagine that Disney saved some money by allowing Vekoma to design something they'd be able to sell again.

Oh, your totally right...I was trying to make a joke (a failed one at that
)
