The verdict
Stealth sweeps every comparable stat. There is no line on the card where Cobra is the better pick, so the only way this duel turns is on who calls the stat.
Cobra is a steel Bobsled Coaster coaster at Paultons Park, GB, built by Gerstlauer. Stealth is a steel Accelerator Coaster coaster at Thorpe Park, GB, built by Intamin.
Both are in GB, which puts them in the same conversation for anyone planning a trip there.
Both are steel-track, so nothing here is the usual steel-versus-wood argument in disguise.
They are near-contemporaries — 2006 and 2006 — so they were competing for the same riders when they opened.
