The Voyage vs Wodan Timbur Coaster

Vintage is the reversed stat — the older ride wins. Every number here is the same one printed on the card; see /methodology for how Build Cost and Throughput are sourced.

The verdict

The Voyage shades it 3–2. Close enough that calling the wrong stat hands the round over.

The Voyage is a wooden Wooden Terrain Coaster coaster at Holiday World, US, built by The Gravity Group. Wodan Timbur Coaster is a wooden GCI Wooden Twister coaster at Europa-Park, DE, built by Great Coasters International.

Both are wooden-track, so nothing here is the usual steel-versus-wood argument in disguise.
