The verdict
Hyperion takes it 4–2, and the 2 Lech Coaster does win are the whole of its case.
Hyperion is a steel Mega Coaster coaster at Energylandia, PL, built by Intamin. Lech Coaster is a steel Bermuda Blitz coaster at Legendia, PL, built by Vekoma.
Both are in PL, 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.
They are near-contemporaries — 2017 and 2018 — so they were competing for the same riders when they opened.
