The verdict
Steel Dragon 2000 takes it 5–1, and the 1 Lech Coaster does win is the whole of its case.
Lech Coaster is a steel Bermuda Blitz coaster at Legendia, PL, built by Vekoma. Steel Dragon 2000 is a steel Hyper Coaster (giga) coaster at Nagashima Spa Land, JP, built by D. H. Morgan Manufacturing.
Both are steel-track, so nothing here is the usual steel-versus-wood argument in disguise.
