The verdict
Icon takes it 4–2, and the 2 Nemesis Reborn does win are the whole of its case.
Icon is a steel Double Launch Coaster coaster at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, GB, built by Mack Rides. Nemesis Reborn is a steel Inverted Coaster (full retrack of 1994 Nemesis) coaster at Alton Towers, GB, built by Bolliger & Mabillard.
Both are in GB, 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.
