The verdict
Fury 325 takes it 4–2, and the 2 Dragon Khan does win are the whole of its case.
Dragon Khan is a steel Sitting Looping Coaster coaster at PortAventura Park, ES, built by Bolliger & Mabillard. Fury 325 is a steel Giga Coaster coaster at Carowinds, 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.
Stat by stat
- Height goes to Fury 325 at 325 ft against 148 ft — more than double.
- Speed goes to Fury 325 at 95 mph against 65 mph — a long way clear.
- Dragon Khan inverts 8 times against nothing at all from Fury 325 — the widest kind of gap there is on this stat.
- Throughput goes to Fury 325 at 1,470 rph against 1,200 rph — well clear.
- Build Cost goes to Fury 325 at 30 $m against 8 $m — in another class entirely.
- 20 years separate them, and because Vintage rewards age it is Dragon Khan (1995) that banks the point, not Fury 325 (2015).
