The verdict
The Voyage shades it 3–2. Close enough that calling the wrong stat hands the round over.
The Racer is a wooden John Allen twin-track racing coaster coaster at Kings Island, 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 88 ft — nearly double.
- Speed goes to The Voyage at 67 mph against 53 mph — well clear.
- Inversions splits them not at all: both read 0.
- Throughput goes to The Racer at 2,640 rph against 1,200 rph — more than double.
- Build Cost goes to The Voyage at 8.5 $m against 1.2 $m — in another class entirely.
- 34 years separate them, and because Vintage rewards age it is The Racer (1972) that banks the point, not The Voyage (2006).
