The verdict

New Texas Giant shades it 3–2. Close enough that calling the wrong stat hands the round over.

New Texas Giant is a hybrid IBox Track (Texas Giant conversion) coaster at Six Flags Over Texas, US, built by Rocky Mountain Construction. Outlaw Run is a wooden Topper Track (ground-up) coaster at Silver Dollar City, US, built by Rocky Mountain Construction.

Both are in US, which puts them in the same conversation for anyone planning a trip there.

They come from the same drawing office: Rocky Mountain Construction. That makes the gaps below a question of brief and budget rather than engineering house style.

They are near-contemporaries — 2011 and 2013 — so they were competing for the same riders when they opened.
