The verdict
Wildfire takes it 4–1, and the 1 Twisted Timbers does win is the whole of its case.
Twisted Timbers is a hybrid IBox Track (Hurler conversion) coaster at Kings Dominion, US, built by Rocky Mountain Construction. Wildfire is a wooden Topper Track (ground-up) coaster at Kolmården Wildlife Park, SE, 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.
They are near-contemporaries — 2016 and 2018 — so they were competing for the same riders when they opened.
