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
X2 takes it 5–1, and the 1 Toutatis does win is the whole of its case.
Toutatis is a steel LSM Multi-Launch Coaster coaster at Parc Astérix, FR, built by Intamin. X2 is a steel 4th Dimension Coaster (opened 2002 as X, relaunched as X2 in 2008) coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain, US, built by Arrow Dynamics.
Both are steel-track, so nothing here is the usual steel-versus-wood argument in disguise.
Stat by stat
- Height goes to X2 at 175 ft against 167 ft — ahead by a whisker.
- Speed goes to X2 at 76 mph against 68 mph — clearly ahead.
- Toutatis takes Inversions 3 to 2.
- Throughput goes to X2 at 1,600 rph against 1,260 rph — well clear.
- Build Cost goes to X2 at 45 $m against 30.4 $m — a long way clear.
- 21 years separate them, and because Vintage rewards age it is X2 (2002) that banks the point, not Toutatis (2023).
