The verdict
Zadra takes it 4–2, and the 2 New Texas Giant does win are the whole of its case.
New Texas Giant is a hybrid IBox Track (Texas Giant conversion) coaster at Six Flags Over Texas, US, built by Rocky Mountain Construction. Zadra is a hybrid IBox Track (ground-up) coaster at Energylandia, PL, built by Rocky Mountain Construction.
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.
Both are hybrid-track, so nothing here is the usual steel-versus-wood argument in disguise.
