- Height goes to Hyperia at 236 ft against 85 ft — more than double.
- Speed goes to Hyperia at 81 mph against 48 mph — nearly double.
- Hyperia inverts 2 times against nothing at all from Megafobia — the widest kind of gap there is on this stat.
- Throughput goes to Hyperia at 1,000 rph against 850 rph — well clear.
- Build Cost goes to Hyperia at 22.4 $m against 2.7 $m — in another class entirely.
- 28 years separate them, and because Vintage rewards age it is Megafobia (1996) that banks the point, not Hyperia (2024).
