The verdict
Untamed takes it 4–2, and the 2 Wicked Cyclone does win are the whole of its case.
Untamed is a hybrid IBox Track (Robin Hood conversion) coaster at Walibi Holland, NL, 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.
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 2019 — so they were competing for the same riders when they opened.
