I'm going to need some member's opinions before I can vote. Very tough matchup.

How do I tubes?

I went with Lightning Racer on this poll. It was an insanely huge coaster with beautiful shaping, supporting, and it really shows off Helmer's building skill.
^ This has to be one of the hardest polls I've ever done. Scorpion's Tail was some of the best automation I've ever seen, and the creativity blew my mind. I spent a long time on this one.

Lightning Racer has one of those layouts that I thought could never be built accurately without a booster, and Helmut proved me wrong.

This was one of the hardest decisions in a while. I really like Lightning Racer because of the accuracy. However the automation on Scorpions Tail blew me away. It got my vote!

Tough poll, but I think I've made my decision...
Helmer set out (yet again) to do the impossible by recreating Lightning Racer. The coaster was massive and it ran flawlessly. Each element was fantastic and it really showed Helmer's building capabilities. It was an impressive build and I'm super happy to be able to say I've seen it in person!
On the other hand, st33l's big comeback with one of the most creative coasters in SSC history blew everyone away. From the concept of the coaster to its automation, this was a remarkable build with the lift being the main feature of the ride.
When looking at the overall layout of each of the coasters, it's fair to say Lightning Racer wins. Even though it's a recreation, it was an amazing one. Congrats to both of you on the amazing builds.
