The verdict
X2 sweeps every comparable stat. There is no line on the card where Kondaa is the better pick, so the only way this duel turns is on who calls the stat.
Kondaa is a steel Mega Coaster coaster at Walibi Belgium, BE, built by Intamin. X2 is a steel 4th Dimension Coaster (opened 2002 as X, relaunched as X2 in 2008) coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain, US, built by Arrow Dynamics.
Both are steel-track, so nothing here is the usual steel-versus-wood argument in disguise.
Stat by stat
- Height goes to X2 at 175 ft against 164 ft — clearly ahead.
- Speed goes to X2 at 76 mph against 70 mph — clearly ahead.
- X2 inverts 2 times against nothing at all from Kondaa — the widest kind of gap there is on this stat.
- Throughput goes to X2 at 1,600 rph against 1,080 rph — a long way clear.
- Build Cost goes to X2 at 45 $m against 29.5 $m — a long way clear.
- 19 years separate them, and because Vintage rewards age it is X2 (2002) that banks the point, not Kondaa (2021).
