The verdict
Millennium Force sweeps every comparable stat. There is no line on the card where Piraten is the better pick, so the only way this duel turns is on who calls the stat.
Millennium Force is a steel Giga Coaster coaster at Cedar Point, US, 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.
