The verdict
Icon takes it 5–1, and the 1 Megafobia does win is the whole of its case.
Icon is a steel Double Launch Coaster coaster at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, GB, built by Mack Rides. Megafobia is a wooden Wooden twister coaster at Oakwood Theme Park, GB, built by Custom Coasters International.
Both are in GB, which puts them in the same conversation for anyone planning a trip there.
Stat by stat
- Height goes to Icon at 89 ft against 85 ft — ahead by a whisker.
- Speed goes to Icon at 53 mph against 48 mph — clearly ahead.
- Icon turns upside down once; Megafobia never does, so Inversions is a shut-out.
- Throughput goes to Icon at 1,000 rph against 850 rph — well clear.
- Build Cost goes to Icon at 21.6 $m against 2.7 $m — in another class entirely.
- 22 years separate them, and because Vintage rewards age it is Megafobia (1996) that banks the point, not Icon (2018).
