The verdict
Toutatis takes it 5–1, and the 1 Goliath does win is the whole of its case.
Goliath is a steel Mega Coaster coaster at Walibi Holland, NL, built by Intamin. Toutatis is a steel LSM Multi-Launch Coaster coaster at Parc Astérix, FR, 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.
Stat by stat
- Height goes to Toutatis at 167 ft against 154 ft — clearly ahead.
- Speed goes to Toutatis at 68 mph against 66 mph — ahead by a whisker.
- Toutatis inverts 3 times against nothing at all from Goliath — the widest kind of gap there is on this stat.
- Throughput goes to Toutatis at 1,260 rph against 1,200 rph — ahead by a whisker.
- Build Cost goes to Toutatis at 30.4 $m against 10.8 $m — more than double.
- 21 years separate them, and because Vintage rewards age it is Goliath (2002) that banks the point, not Toutatis (2023).
