Fury 325 vs Georgia Scorcher

Vintage is the reversed stat — the older ride wins. Every number here is the same one printed on the card; see /methodology for how Build Cost and Throughput are sourced.

The verdict

Fury 325 takes it 4–2, and the 2 Georgia Scorcher does win are the whole of its case.

Fury 325 is a steel Giga Coaster coaster at Carowinds, US, built by Bolliger & Mabillard. Georgia Scorcher is a steel Stand-Up Coaster coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia, US, built by Bolliger & Mabillard.

Both are in US, which puts them in the same conversation for anyone planning a trip there.

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.
