The verdict
Kondaa shades it 3–2. Close enough that calling the wrong stat hands the round over.
Goliath is a steel Mega Coaster coaster at Walibi Holland, NL, built by Intamin. Kondaa is a steel Mega Coaster coaster at Walibi Belgium, BE, built by Intamin.
They come from the same drawing office: Intamin. 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.
