The verdict
Millennium Force shades it 3–2. Close enough that calling the wrong stat hands the round over.
Hyperion is a steel Mega Coaster coaster at Energylandia, PL, built by Intamin. Millennium Force is a steel Giga Coaster coaster at Cedar Point, US, 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 Millennium Force at 310 ft against 253 ft — well clear.
- Speed goes to Millennium Force at 93 mph against 88 mph — ahead by a whisker.
- Hyperion turns upside down once; Millennium Force never does, so Inversions is a shut-out.
- Throughput splits them not at all: both read 1,300 rph.
- Build Cost goes to Hyperion at 29.5 $m against 25 $m — well clear.
- 18 years separate them, and because Vintage rewards age it is Millennium Force (2000) that banks the point, not Hyperion (2018).
