The verdict
SheiKra shades it 3–2. Close enough that calling the wrong stat hands the round over.
Dragon Khan is a steel Sitting Looping Coaster coaster at PortAventura Park, ES, built by Bolliger & Mabillard. SheiKra is a steel Dive Coaster coaster at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, 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 SheiKra at 200 ft against 148 ft — a long way clear.
- Speed goes to SheiKra at 70 mph against 65 mph — clearly ahead.
- Dragon Khan takes Inversions 8 to 1.
- Throughput splits them not at all: both read 1,200 rph.
- Build Cost goes to SheiKra at 13.5 $m against 8 $m — nearly double.
- 10 years separate them, and because Vintage rewards age it is Dragon Khan (1995) that banks the point, not SheiKra (2005).
