The verdict
Fury 325 takes it 4–2, and the 2 Talon does win are the whole of its case.
Fury 325 is a steel Giga Coaster coaster at Carowinds, US, built by Bolliger & Mabillard. Talon is a steel Inverted Coaster coaster at Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom, 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.
