The verdict
Lech Coaster shades it 3–2. Close enough that calling the wrong stat hands the round over.
Corkscrew is a steel Corkscrew with vertical loop coaster at Cedar Point, US, built by Arrow Development. Lech Coaster is a steel Bermuda Blitz coaster at Legendia, PL, built by Vekoma.
Both are steel-track, so nothing here is the usual steel-versus-wood argument in disguise.
