The verdict
Twisted Colossus takes it 4–1, and the 1 Wicked Cyclone does win is the whole of its case.
Twisted Colossus is a hybrid IBox Track (Colossus conversion) coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain, US, built by Rocky Mountain Construction. Wicked Cyclone is a hybrid IBox Track (Cyclone conversion) coaster at Six Flags New England, US, built by Rocky Mountain Construction.
Both are in US, which puts them in the same conversation for anyone planning a trip there.
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 — 2015 and 2015 — so they were competing for the same riders when they opened.
