The verdict
Honours end even at 3–3, which is the awkward kind of matchup: whoever calls the stat decides the round.
Hyperia is a steel Hypercoaster coaster at Thorpe Park, GB, built by Mack Rides. Kumali is a steel Suspended Looping Coaster (SLC) coaster at Flamingo Land, GB, built by Vekoma.
Both are in GB, which puts them in the same conversation for anyone planning a trip there.
Both are steel-track, so nothing here is the usual steel-versus-wood argument in disguise.
