The verdict
Steel Dragon 2000 takes it 4–2, and the 2 Toutatis does win are the whole of its case.
Steel Dragon 2000 is a steel Hyper Coaster (giga) coaster at Nagashima Spa Land, JP, built by D. H. Morgan Manufacturing. Toutatis is a steel LSM Multi-Launch Coaster coaster at Parc Astérix, FR, built by Intamin.
Both are steel-track, so nothing here is the usual steel-versus-wood argument in disguise.
