The verdict
Honours end even at 2–2 with 2 stats level, which is the awkward kind of matchup: whoever calls the stat decides the round.
Balder is a wooden Prefabricated Wooden Coaster (Plug & Play) coaster at Liseberg, SE, built by Intamin. The Voyage is a wooden Wooden Terrain Coaster coaster at Holiday World, US, built by The Gravity Group.
Both are wooden-track, so nothing here is the usual steel-versus-wood argument in disguise.
They are near-contemporaries — 2003 and 2006 — so they were competing for the same riders when they opened.
