The verdict
Honours end even at 3–3, which is the awkward kind of matchup: whoever calls the stat decides the round.
Oblivion is a steel Dive Coaster coaster at Alton Towers, GB, built by Bolliger & Mabillard. SheiKra is a steel Dive Coaster coaster at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, US, built by Bolliger & Mabillard.
They come from the same drawing office: Bolliger & Mabillard. 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.
Stat by stat
- Height goes to SheiKra at 200 ft against 65 ft — in another class entirely.
- Speed goes to SheiKra at 70 mph against 68 mph — ahead by a whisker.
- SheiKra turns upside down once; Oblivion never does, so Inversions is a shut-out.
- Throughput goes to Oblivion at 1,900 rph against 1,200 rph — a long way clear.
- Build Cost goes to Oblivion at 20 $m against 13.5 $m — a long way clear.
- Vintage is reversed, so Oblivion's 1998 takes it from SheiKra's 2005 — 7 years in it.
