I have no idea where to start this, but before you downvote and leave, I'm pretty disappointed over the American Dream announcement.
Don't get me wrong, Takabisha is an awesome ride, it's my #7 overall, but this just feels wrong, Takabisha was so much more than a coaster, it was an adventure. It was the trip to Japan, it was Mt. Fuji, it was the Japanese ride ops, it was the mountain air.

The ride itself has better hangtime that any other coaster in the world and the drop is insane, but this clone coming to American Dream feels wrong.

I feel it will make Takabisha less special. It won't be the adventure of going to Japan, it will be at some park in New Jersey. It's like if they cloned Taron at some park in the US. It would be an awesome ride, but  wouldn't have that same feeling of walking through Phantasialand, immersed in theming, everyone around you speaking German.

Next, I'm worried people will feel they have ridden Takabisha when they ride this. If you don't like it, you will think Takabisha sucks. If you love it, you will think you basically rode Takabisha. Sure, it is practically the same ride, but the experience is so much different. 
Yes, I have been wanting a large scale, phenomenal Euro-Fighter in North America for a long time, but this feels like a letdown from Gerstlauer. They are a brilliant company  and they could have made this amazing and different, but they just clone Takabisha.

It would be like if RMC cloned Lightning Rod or Wildfire and built it to a different continent. They claim they are the same, but the terrain and surroundings are so different. Sure they would be great rides, but it would be a disappointment knowing RMC could do something NEW and amazing. Lightning Rod would be less special, Wildfire would be less special.

I'm all for people with less means to travel globally to ride awesome coasters, but at the same time, there is a degree of exclusivity having ridden a phenomenal ride in another continent, that is diminished if the ride is cloned and built elsewhere. It is like if DC Rivals was cloned and built in Ohio. I would guess it would make the trip to Australia to rode sich an amazing coaster a little less exclusive for /u/MrBrightside711 (I know it doesn't tag him here, I don't care).

Ok, rant over. Agree with me or not, I felt like sharing. Ride on!
