The verdict
Stealth takes it 4–1, and the 1 Vampire does win is the whole of its case.
Stealth is a steel Accelerator Coaster coaster at Thorpe Park, GB, built by Intamin. Vampire is a steel Suspended Swinging Coaster (Vekoma floorless trains since 2002) coaster at Chessington World of Adventures, GB, built by Arrow Dynamics.
Both are in GB, which puts them in the same conversation for anyone planning a trip there.
Both are steel-track, so nothing here is the usual steel-versus-wood argument in disguise.
Stat by stat
- Height goes to Stealth at 205 ft against 69 ft — more than double.
- Speed goes to Stealth at 80 mph against 45 mph — nearly double.
- Inversions splits them not at all: both read 0.
- Throughput goes to Stealth at 1,000 rph against 720 rph — a long way clear.
- Build Cost goes to Stealth at 22.1 $m against 9 $m — more than double.
- 16 years separate them, and because Vintage rewards age it is Vampire (1990) that banks the point, not Stealth (2006).
