The verdict
Millennium Force shades it 3–2. Close enough that calling the wrong stat hands the round over.
Katun is a steel Inverted Coaster coaster at Mirabilandia, IT, built by Bolliger & Mabillard. Millennium Force is a steel Giga Coaster coaster at Cedar Point, US, built by Intamin.
Both are steel-track, so nothing here is the usual steel-versus-wood argument in disguise.
They are near-contemporaries — 2000 and 2000 — so they were competing for the same riders when they opened.
