The verdict
Toutatis takes it 5–1, and the 1 Piraten does win is the whole of its case.
Piraten is a steel Mega-Lite coaster at Djurs Sommerland, DK, built by Intamin. Toutatis is a steel LSM Multi-Launch Coaster coaster at Parc Astérix, FR, 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.
Stat by stat
- Height goes to Toutatis at 167 ft against 105 ft — a long way clear.
- Speed goes to Toutatis at 68 mph against 56 mph — well clear.
- Toutatis inverts 3 times against nothing at all from Piraten — the widest kind of gap there is on this stat.
- Throughput goes to Toutatis at 1,260 rph against 810 rph — a long way clear.
- Build Cost goes to Toutatis at 30.4 $m against 10.8 $m — more than double.
- 15 years separate them, and because Vintage rewards age it is Piraten (2008) that banks the point, not Toutatis (2023).
