Really? Other than the upcoming VOTLM, the most recent clone (perhaps more accurately called a duplicate attraction with differences) I can think of is Pooh from 1994. Unless you count the temporary Cinderellabration show, I guess.
Three weeks from today I'll be in the MK for the first time since 2005, and am looking forward to the attractions unique to that park, at least in the USA, including those that aren't exactly top-shelf. These include CBJ, HoP, MP, CoP, MILF, TTA, even SGE (that chili-dog odor is a bed of roses compared to the stench that came off of SuperStar Limo at DCA). I may even ride flying carpet Dumbo for completeness (think that's at DSP now, but built after the MK one).
I have mixed views on clones. It can seem lazy to duplicate attractions, but I am aware of the cost/business conditions that must be considered. Opening at different parks at the same time (more or less) like with MM and VOTLM leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I fear VOTLM may be a true identical clone. Unless it's a film based attraction, though, they often tend to have some differences from park to park. I've ridden multiple Space, Splash and Big Thunder Mountains, and they all have differences.
A bientot.
