The verdict
Georgia Scorcher shades it 3–2. Close enough that calling the wrong stat hands the round over.
Baron 1898 is a steel Dive Coaster coaster at Efteling, NL, built by Bolliger & Mabillard. Georgia Scorcher is a steel Stand-Up Coaster coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia, US, built by Bolliger & Mabillard.
They come from the same drawing office: Bolliger & Mabillard. That makes the gaps below a question of brief and budget rather than engineering house style.
Both are steel-track, so nothing here is the usual steel-versus-wood argument in disguise.
