The verdict
Iron Gwazi takes it 4–2, and the 2 Twisted Colossus does win are the whole of its case.
Iron Gwazi is a hybrid IBox Track (Gwazi conversion) coaster at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, US, built by Rocky Mountain Construction. Twisted Colossus is a hybrid IBox Track (Colossus conversion) coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain, US, built by Rocky Mountain Construction.
Both are in US, which puts them in the same conversation for anyone planning a trip there.
They come from the same drawing office: Rocky Mountain Construction. That makes the gaps below a question of brief and budget rather than engineering house style.
Both are hybrid-track, so nothing here is the usual steel-versus-wood argument in disguise.
