Hyperion vs Toutatis

Vintage is the reversed stat — the older ride wins. Every number here is the same one printed on the card; see /methodology for how Build Cost and Throughput are sourced.

The verdict

Hyperion takes it 4–2, and the 2 Toutatis does win are the whole of its case.

Hyperion is a steel Mega Coaster coaster at Energylandia, PL, 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.

They are near-contemporaries — 2018 and 2023 — so they were competing for the same riders when they opened.

Stat by stat

• Height goes to Hyperion at 253 ft against 167 ft — a long way clear.
• Speed goes to Hyperion at 88 mph against 68 mph — well clear.
• Toutatis takes Inversions 3 to 1.
• Throughput goes to Hyperion at 1,300 rph against 1,260 rph — ahead by a whisker.
• Build Cost goes to Toutatis at 30.4 $m against 29.5 $m — ahead by a whisker.
• Vintage is reversed, so Hyperion's 2018 takes it from Toutatis's 2023 — 5 years in it.
