The verdict
Georgia Scorcher takes it 4–2, and the 2 Dæmonen does win are the whole of its case.
Dæmonen is a steel Floorless Coaster coaster at Tivoli Gardens, DK, 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.
They are near-contemporaries — 1999 and 2004 — so they were competing for the same riders when they opened.
