If ya'll had a really big backyard & you wanted to have a coaster from any amusement park cloned, which coaster would it be & why? I'd love to have the Phantom's Revenge at Kennywood Park in my backyard. Who else would love to have a Morgan hyper that packs in a heck of a lot of airtime while reaching speeds of 82 m.p.h.? It'd be amazing to just experience a 160 ft. first drop, a 232 ft. second drop, & a lot of camelback hills anytime I felt like riding .

I have only 3 acres of land so I'll work this as if I was using my own land. A BTR Clone would be nice there isn't one till SFGAdv in NJ, 5-7 hours away.I wouldn't mind geting Whalom parks Flyer Commet or Astroworlds Cyclone just so we won't loose these great woodies.

My backyard is very small, but if I had a big backyard, I would clone the Phoenix at Knoebels. The Phoenix is a classic wooden roller coaster that is packed with air-time on every hill.

Zonga when it was called "Thriller" and before it was tampered with.

If I were to build a fantasy coaster in my backyard, it would be a small wild mouse steel coaster. You would travel up about a 12ft hill, go down a tiny hill, go around a few hairpin turns, and then go down a 5ft hill. Then you would go over about two small bunny hills and then go into the "station".

Also because of where I live, I would have to consider the noise level of the roller coaster, if I were to build one. It would have to be silent, so my previously mentioned wooden coaster (Phoenix) would be too loud.

If I could have a coaster clone in my back yard I would build MF in my yard because it's my favorite coaster I can ride it all day and never get tired of it. I love the first hill, the tunnels, the speed, the smoothness and everything about it.

It's my favorite coaster and it is totally hot. But if we must take in mind our actual yard, I bet I would be able to fit Li'l Phantom or HSTC in there. Plus teh noise, so kick out HSTC (for sure!)

It would be a tough call for me between Hulk, Apollo, and Raging Bull. It probably would just have to come down to luck of the draw.

If I was wealthy,and had a really huge backyard I'd like to have two cloned coasters--Kennywood's Jack Rabbit and The Phantom's Revenge,being that these are my two favorite coasters at Kennywood.
