The verdict
Dragon Khan takes it 4–1, and the 1 Dæmonen does win is the whole of its case.
Dæmonen is a steel Floorless Coaster coaster at Tivoli Gardens, DK, built by Bolliger & Mabillard. Dragon Khan is a steel Sitting Looping Coaster coaster at PortAventura Park, ES, 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.
