The verdict
Goliath takes it 4–2, and the 2 Lech Coaster does win are the whole of its case.
Goliath is a steel Mega Coaster coaster at Walibi Holland, NL, built by Intamin. Lech Coaster is a steel Bermuda Blitz coaster at Legendia, PL, built by Vekoma.
Both are steel-track, so nothing here is the usual steel-versus-wood argument in disguise.
