The verdict
Kärnan takes it 4–2, and the 2 Kondaa does win are the whole of its case.
Kärnan is a steel Infinity Coaster coaster at Hansa Park, DE, built by Gerstlauer. Kondaa is a steel Mega Coaster coaster at Walibi Belgium, BE, built by Intamin.
Both are steel-track, so nothing here is the usual steel-versus-wood argument in disguise.
Stat by stat
- Height goes to Kärnan at 240 ft against 164 ft — a long way clear.
- Speed goes to Kärnan at 79 mph against 70 mph — clearly ahead.
- Kärnan turns upside down once; Kondaa never does, so Inversions is a shut-out.

- Build Cost goes to Kondaa at 29.5 $m against 28.9 $m — ahead by a whisker.
- Vintage is reversed, so Kärnan's 2015 takes it from Kondaa's 2021 — 6 years in it.
