The verdict
The Voyage takes it 4–1, and the 1 Phoenix does win is the whole of its case.
Phoenix is a wooden Herbert Schmeck out-and-back (relocated 1947 'Rocket') coaster at Knoebels Amusement Resort, US, built by Philadelphia Toboggan Company. The Voyage is a wooden Wooden Terrain Coaster coaster at Holiday World, US, built by The Gravity Group.
Both are in US, which puts them in the same conversation for anyone planning a trip there.
Both are wooden-track, so nothing here is the usual steel-versus-wood argument in disguise.
Stat by stat
- Height goes to The Voyage at 159 ft against 78 ft — more than double.
- Speed goes to The Voyage at 67 mph against 45 mph — a long way clear.
- Inversions splits them not at all: both read 0.
- Throughput goes to The Voyage at 1,200 rph against 720 rph — nearly double.
- Build Cost goes to The Voyage at 8.5 $m against 1.5 $m — in another class entirely.
- 21 years separate them, and because Vintage rewards age it is Phoenix (1985) that banks the point, not The Voyage (2006).
