The verdict
Untamed takes it 5–1, and the 1 Storm Chaser does win is the whole of its case.
Storm Chaser is a hybrid IBox Track (Twisted Twins conversion) coaster at Kentucky Kingdom, US, built by Rocky Mountain Construction. Untamed is a hybrid IBox Track (Robin Hood conversion) coaster at Walibi Holland, NL, built by Rocky Mountain Construction.
They come from the same drawing office: Rocky Mountain Construction. That makes the gaps below a question of brief and budget rather than engineering house style.
Both are hybrid-track, so nothing here is the usual steel-versus-wood argument in disguise.
They are near-contemporaries — 2016 and 2019 — so they were competing for the same riders when they opened.
