 Review of El Toro @ Six Flags Great Adventure
2 Rating Posted by: psu_dude on 1/30/2008 12:00:00 PM
El Toro is without a doubt the best roller coaster I have ever ridden to date! Through a random chain of events I was able to make an unexpected trip to Great Adventure on a swing through Jersey last summer, and this beast was first on my list! I was lucky enough to actually snag 3 rides on this amazing coaster on a slower weekday last August. El Toro has some mammoth reviews on this site already, so theres not a whole lot I can add that hasnt been said already. The coaster itself is gorgeous, and when you first walk up to it you are amazed at its imposing structure and wooden beauty. A ride on Toro is just in another class for coasters. I sat once in the front car, then twice in the back row, and let me say the back row is a MUST! El Toros first drop is the best drop on the planet, period. The airtime in the back is shockingly strong and bordering on ridiculous! I was just ripped from my seat over each of the first 3 drops! The turnaround was cool, and then that hill over to Rolling Thunder hit me. Good lord, that was the single most extreme ejector airtime Ive ever experienced! I couldnt believe it! The finale was wickedly paced and a blast. El Toro has it all - the speed is relentless, the hills are gigantic, the ride is smooth as silk, and then theres the airtime. Even writing this I think back in awe of the power this coaster possesses, and the airtime is just mind blowing!! With this coaster, Intamin shows it can basically bench press the competition. Drive, fly, take a train, or walk for all I care, but simply find a way, ANY way to get to New Jersey and experience coaster nirvana on the shoulders of this mighty bull! El Toro is simply unbelievable, and in my view, its also unbeatable by anything else out there today.

You may have torn apart my beloved Maverick, but youve redeemed yourself with this review on El Torgasm Ive ridden this baby 10 times over the past two seasons, and I must say it is truly as absurd as you say it is

Great review. I am dying to get more rides on this thing! I ended up being there when it premiered, so lines were INSANE and I managed only 1 spin on "El Torgasm" (ferg, that was awesome!! LOL), but what an incredible ride it was! I think with some more rides it could vault even higher up my list from its current spot at #3. The airtime this thing delivers is so incredible and powerful. I dont think Ive ridden a coaster that launched me out of my seat as much as El Toro did. And that hill over Rolling Thunder? Coaster heaven right there!

^^Im glad I was able to redeem myself with this review! Absurd is a great way to describe this beast, especially the airtime it dishes out!
