The verdict
Kondaa takes it 4–1, and the 1 Piraten does win is the whole of its case.
Kondaa is a steel Mega Coaster coaster at Walibi Belgium, BE, built by Intamin. Piraten is a steel Mega-Lite coaster at Djurs Sommerland, DK, built by Intamin.
They come from the same drawing office: Intamin. That makes the gaps below a question of brief and budget rather than engineering house style.
Both are steel-track, so nothing here is the usual steel-versus-wood argument in disguise.
Stat by stat
- Height goes to Kondaa at 164 ft against 105 ft — a long way clear.
- Speed goes to Kondaa at 70 mph against 56 mph — well clear.
- Inversions splits them not at all: both read 0.
- Throughput goes to Kondaa at 1,080 rph against 810 rph — well clear.
- Build Cost goes to Kondaa at 29.5 $m against 10.8 $m — more than double.
- 13 years separate them, and because Vintage rewards age it is Piraten (2008) that banks the point, not Kondaa (2021).
