Am I the only crying from excitement watching this. I can't wait next Saturday to ride that beast...... It's been soooooooo long. over 8 years since I've taken a ride. I remember Opening year for this ride like it was yesterday. "Let the tears Roll"
I went on el toro today for the first time. I actually felt I was going to have a heart attack on that first hill 😅 I was not in my seat for most of that ride. I was clinging on for dear life. This ride scared me more than Kingda ka itself!
I went 2 days ago and I was thinking the same thing , scared me more than kingda ka. I told my brother I think I’m getting to old for rollercoasters because I almost blacked out on this ride
Same! I went on Kingda Ka twice in one day and a few more other rides but I must say El Toro made me feel like my head was going to detach from my body 😂
@@sownflea5 kind of the wood that intamin used to design that track and stuff was supplied by rmc but other then suppling wood rmc had nothing to do with el toro bc they didint make coasters yet only supplies wood
@@DragonCoasters RMC assembled the coaster on site, Intamin pre-fabricated the parts of the track and superstructure in their workshop and shipped it to the US. There are only 2 other Intamin pre-fabricated wooden coasters in the world.
I rode El Toro 6 days before the accident 8 times. I rank it as my #1 out of 111 coasters at this current time. My advice to Six Flags is to fix the ride and do it right! Otherwise, I will be forced to go to Michigan's Adventure more often for Shivering Timbers, and thus that would be the better park in my book.
I've been around and traveled to many theme parks, and have been on hundreds of roller coasters. El Toro, is the BEST in the country, at least top 3. For a wooden coaster to slap that hard in a steel world, mmmmmhhhhh, make some more like this, please!
Easily the best coaster at the park. I have been on king da ka, but the only time I was genuinely scared riding a coaster was my first time on this ride. It's so intense, and you get crazy airtime! Backseat of this ride is just amazing
On the way to great adventure to ride it for the first time it didn't look too steep. I already know that it is a 76 degree angle drop but when I got on it for the first time it was steep
For those of you who are unfamiliar, a block zone is a section of ride that only one train may occupy. At the end of a block zone is a method to stop the train in case the block zone ahead is still occupied. This is the safety system that prevents roller coaster trains from colliding with one another.
What a beast. This had the honor of being my 30th coaster credit (with Jersey Devil 31st, Kingda Ka 32nd, Joker 33rd, and Green Stand-Up Mind Eraser- ... ahem, Green Lantern 34th).
I was sad bc I made a 2 week long coaster road trip, and on the 2nd day of it, the el toro incident happened, I also missed out on sky rush and jersey devil, so I plan on making another trip to Hersheypark and Great Adventure
@@NortheasternP.T.S. I love it~ RMCs have something similar, on Steel Vengeance you can hear the Anti-Rollback catch SLAPPING up and down on each hill~
I find it somewhat hilarious that the park’s official video is one where you can easily tell they’ve got a bearing(s) going out on one of the cars. Listen to the buzz on every airtime. That’s a wheel bearing going into slip and vibrating due to wear.
this is actually not the wheel slipping, this is one of 3 wooden coasters of this model(intamin prefab) and they have such intense airtime that the wheel on the top of the track separates from the track and keeps rolling but the upstop wheels(under the track) make the noise
el toro and nitro is the best. I got stuck at the end of the chain hill and they rolled us back cause someone's hoodie was on the track -- usually 12-3p on a really hot day the ride has issues then reopens by like 4-5 -_-
my friend got a the biggest bump on his head it looked like a cartoon, he couldnt pick his head up and he hit his head on the handle bar. other than that, this ride was MEANN 😂😂
@@JiggingtonSawface I hope it did bc I road it a couple years ago the thing was horrible I liked the airtime but I would always steer clear from el toro because of how rough it is I am planning on riding it again but hopefully it is better

Went on el toro again yesterday after almost 4 years it’s the best adrenaline rush I love this ride so much. Glad there wasn’t any injuries or maintenance issues 😂😂
I was there today. We got seats in the back cart and they were SCREAMING. The back seats on rides like this are absolutely insane. I also got the back seat on jersey devil.
This is a pretty good one for nerves because you go up the lift hill so fast, you have very little time to think before you’re off the drop and just having fun
It’s called El-Toro right? which means ‘The Bull.’ If you know anything about bulls they’re very aggressive and El Toro is an intense rollercoaster. The first drop and two air time hills are so much fun! Also remember it’s a bull right? So turn with the coaster. It it turns right shift and lean your body right. If left do the opposite. That way you have a very fun and interactive ride! Enjoy it, I went on it two hours ago
El Toro: my braces are looking pretty good six flags thanks bro! Six flags: no problem El toro: say why did you not RMC me Six flags: uh El toro fanbase: 🤨 Six flags: resaons
I must of picked a bad seat then. I just rode it today for the first time and my neck is fkkkd up. The first drop was great... The rest felt like my spine was being compressed the entire time. I can barely turn my head right now because if it
just left six flags! it was crazy i chickened out on most rides, king daka isnt too insane, nitro isnt either, jersey devil is kinda like nitro but faster.
Jersey shore? Hopefully you mean Jersey Devil. And no it's definitely not faster. There's a 100 ft height and 22 mph difference that nitro has. Plus Nitro doesn't even have an inversion.
@@SeeingDoubIe not at all. Just sit back in your seat and hold on for the ride. It all goes by in a flash, just alot of wind and speed then its over- its awesome!
@@joelvalencia6738 I dont know what youre exactly saying.. You can't put your head back because there is no head rest. The forces push you down towards the floor so your body will obviously slowly slump as the ride progresses.
my brother, friend, and grandpa went on, they officially said it was terrifying, it lifted their butts off of the seat every drop, and it jerks their necks forwards and hurts their back.
its a fun ride but i hate it so much because its rough it gave me a headache afterwards but on rides like nitro it's so smooth i loved it. I think it's just because El Toro is old and wooden but I will probably just stick to nitro or king da ka
It’s actually not that old. I mean it was build in 2006 but there are a lot smoother rides that were made before it. The reason why it’s so rough is cuz it’s a all wooden coaster. Wooden coaster are always rough
Why cant they make more steel coasters that fly over the hills like this. I have been on over a hundred individual coasters and lemme tell you, Every B&M I have been on has been just utter trash, they crawl over the hills. They need to FLY over the hills, were talking 40-60 mph...only Intimins seem to do it be they wood or steel. RMC has some good stuff too, I rode Steel Vengrance...the Intamins just feel like they are launching you out of your seat.
Steel coaster have more friction, and are clamped tight to the track by three sets of wheels. Wood coasters have one set of steel wheels, running on a steel strip. Much less friction.
@@johnulmerRacing The momentum loss of a steel coaster is actually less than wood precisely because it is clamped to the track. Wood coasters loose energy every time the car shifts and bangs around. I have been on a few that actually fly over the hills, and rmcs do it like no one's business. I personally think it is because B&M fears doing anything even mildly powerful on their non inverts.
@@johnulmerRacing I'd also like to point out that wooden coasters have 3 sets of wheels just like steel...but they have far more tolerance between them and the track. What do you think holds you on the track flying over a hill? It is not just gravity.
@@spider0804 I should have been more detailed. I am talking about the rolling friction, only one set of wheels on the wood coaster makes contact, until negative g situations, or lateral g situations, where it is required. And yes, those clamped polyurethane wheels create more friction. RMC is a good example, I'm glad you brought it up. Even with the increased drop height on Texas Giant, and 800 ft less track, it still crawls through the ending, where the old coaster flew on to the closing brakes. Same with Iron Rattler and it's original. Steel coasters will not carry the same momentum, at the same height, as a wooden coaster. Steel wheels on steel plate simply creates less friction. Of course, a wood coaster that doesn't have good maintenance is another story. Voyage absolutely flys through its 6500 ft layout while only being about 165 ft tall. Same with El Toro, and it's the Intamin fart that keeps it on the track. Also, if you think B&Ms crawl over the hills, then you've never ridden Fury, Diamondback, Intimidator, or Orion. If you're basing it on Candymonium? Okay, I'll give you that one.
@@johnulmerRacing I have ridden all of them, Diamonback is alright but still crawls over the second half. Fury has the B&M rattle the worst I have ever seen it and again crawls in the second half. Orion is alright and the 200 foot Intimidator is the worst hyper I have ever ridden, every single hill is trimmed. Intimidator 305 is my #2 behind Pantheon but that is an Intimin so yea.
@@HayFatYT40, but it was mainly my neck and I hurt my neck in a pretty bad car accident years ago. Maybe it was the car I was in, because I heard that it does matter on this ride or maybe the way I was sitting. The boxy unsupportive cars didn't help and I was on it during like the third day of it's reopen. The first drop was awesome and if it was maybe 5mph slower I would have loved it, but for some reason it felt like an elephant was standing on my head compressing my neck.
@@JJdaSamuRai I do agree. You sit in basically the old runway train box type cars. Vertical seat that supports only half your back. Garbage small handles if you needed them and then send you at like 80mph on an intense ass ride. If it was just a tad slower or had a little more support, I would have loved it. Maybe I tensed up too much and it was only like the second day after it reopened last year. Thing was going so fast it almost seemed like something was wrong. But I heard from other people don't sit above a wheel. We went on a non-crowded day which was awesome, still every row had some people waiting except the one my and I jumped on (towards the back) I feel like they knew something we didn't lol. I'll never ride that fkn thing again. Nitro, Medusa, and Superman are the best there.
Six Flags Great Adventure coming thru BIG with the insane turnaround for Toro. You can tell they love this ride as much as us enthusiasts do! Truly the crown jewel of the East Coast! Toro lives!!!
@@zacharyyamashita8554 they did, they literally did. They followed Intamin's rules and stuff but it still happened, and they have steel crossties on it now.
It's a great ride, but I have to say I much prefer nitro over this ride, el Toro is just to rough and you get a crap ton of whiplash, it's a good ride to go on once or twice.
This ride is vicious, your neck, back nd head may hurt a lil after, but so what?! u aint no punk! Get on nitro after , you'll be ready for anything then 😆
i jsut went on it yesteday , and my friend told me keep your back straight at all times that helped a ton because how forceful it is no pain and they upgraded it to it felt really smooth it didnt feel rough
@@stevenrubio-vasquez3552 Yes, it's better after they worked on it. I went on it just a couple weeks ago and it's not bad at all. I mean it's still rough... it's wooden. But anyone complaining about it should compare it to Predator at Darien Lake and get back to me...
Just left great adventure and El Toro was up and running all day. It still whips the same and I can't get over how amazing the first drop is! Thank you six flags great adventure for fixing this magnificent beast!
Personally I had way more fun on this than Kingda Ka! Still one of my top 3 coasters taken. Kingda Ka scared me more but it was more the anticipation than the ride itself.
This ride is pure insanity. My son went on it 4 times. I can be impressed by it while still absolutely hating it, because it’s not my kind of coaster (my son begged me to do it with him the first time, so I did). I thought I could muscle through it, and it wouldn’t be that bad. Looks are deceiving. This is not a typical wooden coaster. Good grief. It is super high and sure fast. Really don’t take little kids under 8 on this no matter how tall they are imo. It’s too intense! But for everyone else that likes drops and lots of negative Gs, I’m sure it’s a blast.
My little sister is 8 years old and she went on it and was amazed, I'm almost 11 years old and when I got on it I thought, best coaster I ridden, it's so intense and filled with airtime
My 9 year old son wanted to ride it, but when I told him how intense it was he backed out. I was kind of glad he did, because I don't think he would be able to handle it. I am an experienced coaster rider and can barely handle it lol
@@Bobbyroberts310 Thunderhead, Mystic Timbers, Voyage, Legend, Beast are all very comfortable wooden coasters. And that's just 1 handful of the ones I've ridden.

Great to see this open again
Easily the best coaster at the park. I have been on king da ka, but the only time I was genuinely scared riding a coaster was my first time on this ride. It's so intense, and you get crazy airtime!
Backseat of this ride is just amazing
I have to agree! Went on Kingda Ka twice in once day but El Toro made me feel like my head was going to detach from my body
Yeah the back is straight ejector mode it’s so intense best ride hands down
ONYL downside I had with this ride was worrying my head wouldn’t come clean off 😭😭 it really fucks with you
Frrr
I work on it ain’t shit “painted” on toro just needed some love she’s getting old
😂
Fun Fact: The downward slopes on this coaster and many other coasters are much steeper than the cameras will have you believe.
On the way to great adventure to ride it for the first time it didn't look too steep. I already know that it is a 76 degree angle drop but when I got on it for the first time it was steep
Went last week. With the Flash Pass, rode it 4x. Had a headache afterwards.
4 times is crazy 😂😂😂i rode it twice but years apart
cant wait for the inevitable ElToroRyan video

They need to FLY over the hills, were talking 40-60 mph...only Intimins seem to do it be they wood or steel.
RMC has some good stuff too, I rode Steel Vengrance...the Intamins just feel like they are launching you out of your seat.
Steel coaster have more friction, and are clamped tight to the track by three sets of wheels. Wood coasters have one set of steel wheels, running on a steel strip. Much less friction.
@@johnulmerRacing The momentum loss of a steel coaster is actually less than wood precisely because it is clamped to the track. Wood coasters loose energy every time the car shifts and bangs around. I have been on a few that actually fly over the hills, and rmcs do it like no one's business. I personally think it is because B&M fears doing anything even mildly powerful on their non inverts.
@@johnulmerRacing I'd also like to point out that wooden coasters have 3 sets of wheels just like steel...but they have far more tolerance between them and the track. What do you think holds you on the track flying over a hill? It is not just gravity.
@@spider0804 I should have been more detailed. I am talking about the rolling friction, only one set of wheels on the wood coaster makes contact, until negative g situations, or lateral g situations, where it is required. And yes, those clamped polyurethane wheels create more friction.
RMC is a good example, I'm glad you brought it up. Even with the increased drop height on Texas Giant, and 800 ft less track, it still crawls through the ending, where the old coaster flew on to the closing brakes. Same with Iron Rattler and it's original. Steel coasters will not carry the same momentum, at the same height, as a wooden coaster. Steel wheels on steel plate simply creates less friction. Of course, a wood coaster that doesn't have good maintenance is another story. Voyage absolutely flys through its 6500 ft layout while only being about 165 ft tall. Same with El Toro, and it's the Intamin fart that keeps it on the track.
Also, if you think B&Ms crawl over the hills, then you've never ridden Fury, Diamondback, Intimidator, or Orion. If you're basing it on Candymonium? Okay, I'll give you that one.
@@johnulmerRacing I have ridden all of them, Diamonback is alright but still crawls over the second half. Fury has the B&M rattle the worst I have ever seen it and again crawls in the second half. Orion is alright and the 200 foot Intimidator is the worst hyper I have ever ridden, every single hill is trimmed. Intimidator 305 is my #2 behind Pantheon but that is an Intimin so yea.
I felt like five people kicked the crap out of me after riding this. I still have neck issues six months later. I should have sued.
are you old or like..
@@HayFatYT40, but it was mainly my neck and I hurt my neck in a pretty bad car accident years ago. Maybe it was the car I was in, because I heard that it does matter on this ride or maybe the way I was sitting. The boxy unsupportive cars didn't help and I was on it during like the third day of it's reopen. The first drop was awesome and if it was maybe 5mph slower I would have loved it, but for some reason it felt like an elephant was standing on my head compressing my neck.
Its the head restraints there are practically none on here sorry abnout that.@@Hatemode_NJ
@@JJdaSamuRai I do agree. You sit in basically the old runway train box type cars. Vertical seat that supports only half your back. Garbage small handles if you needed them and then send you at like 80mph on an intense ass ride. If it was just a tad slower or had a little more support, I would have loved it. Maybe I tensed up too much and it was only like the second day after it reopened last year. Thing was going so fast it almost seemed like something was wrong. But I heard from other people don't sit above a wheel. We went on a non-crowded day which was awesome, still every row had some people waiting except the one my and I jumped on (towards the back) I feel like they knew something we didn't lol. I'll never ride that fkn thing again. Nitro, Medusa, and Superman are the best there.
@@Hatemode_NJI wish you had a better experience with this ride because man it is amazing, I wish you luck with your neck though
I rode it in the rain( started raining after I got on)and man talk about pin and needles.
This ride felt like was Tina Turner as bad as it beat me 😭😭😭 had the biggest headache. Medusa whipped me pretty good too.
Who saw kinda ka
*Kingda ka
I did. It’s at 0:33
it does not have seatbelts and sh*t so you gotta hold on tight.
it does have seatbelts🤦🏽♂️
does have😂 just rode it today in the first row, damn that view of the first drop was amazing. looks like you were crushing the ground vertically
@@ZipNoBluff when i rode it, it did not have seat belt.
Stop the cap 🤣🤣🤣@@JameDonos
It does bud I rode on it 5 times
Please make a rmc rolling thunder I’m begging you great adventure
wtf?
@@gametannerz1450 what
@@Alothsloth that wouold never happen bro
rolling tunder was removed and i doubt they will be making it bc of the current state of six flags rn
how u gon rmc something that isnt there anymore
I believe "El Toro" is the name of an old wooden ship from the civil war...
It mean the bull in Spanish
@@Specialguy29 agree to disagree 😊
@@chrisgardiner2215 How do you disagree with a fact
@@chrisgardiner2215 this is not an opinion wtf do you mean agree to disagree
@@Specialguy29 lol my original comment is a line from the movie "Ron Burgundy"
You get thrown on those type of tracks you dead dead.
1:36 this is the part where it derailed...
That’s not where it derailed at. Derailed after the first drop
@@TheSecretsofAddictionoh yea but it stopped in this part
Ahhh, the intamin fart is back baby 😏
heck yeah
First drop makes you feel like your stomach drops to your throat, but I really liked this ride
the fact they reopened this ride and it feels like it’s brand new again is awesome, they did a great job repairing it
I actually work in on it, did the reconstruction thanks for the ups we worked out asses off for this season
@@ethanthedeersorts2103i think it need some more work chief still love it though.
Six Flags Great Adventure coming thru BIG with the insane turnaround for Toro. You can tell they love this ride as much as us enthusiasts do! Truly the crown jewel of the East Coast! Toro lives!!!
That minor derailment was a wake-up call to always maintain your rides.
@@zacharyyamashita8554 they did, they literally did. They followed Intamin's rules and stuff but it still happened, and they have steel crossties on it now.
I went on this ride last week for the first time. Literally felt like I was on a car accident the last few days.
It's a great ride, but I have to say I much prefer nitro over this ride, el Toro is just to rough and you get a crap ton of whiplash, it's a good ride to go on once or twice.
They’re both #1 in my eyes two different experiences
Yuh stoopid. Yu cent say dat el towowowo int beter den penistwo. Penistwo is stoopid.
This ride is vicious, your neck, back nd head may hurt a lil after, but so what?! u aint no punk! Get on nitro after , you'll be ready for anything then 😆
I work on it, it’s “thrill” ride for a reason
i jsut went on it yesteday , and my friend told me keep your back straight at all times that helped a ton because how forceful it is no pain and they upgraded it to it felt really smooth it didnt feel rough
@@stevenrubio-vasquez3552 Yes, it's better after they worked on it. I went on it just a couple weeks ago and it's not bad at all. I mean it's still rough... it's wooden. But anyone complaining about it should compare it to Predator at Darien Lake and get back to me...
this ride is just straight whiplash
I’d usually enjoy El Toro but the last time I went on it, it nearly knocked the wind out of me…it felt like it almost snatched my soul smh 😂
Just left great adventure and El Toro was up and running all day. It still whips the same and I can't get over how amazing the first drop is! Thank you six flags great adventure for fixing this magnificent beast!
Scariest shit I've ever been on, way worse than Kingda Ka. Never again.
Personally I had way more fun on this than Kingda Ka! Still one of my top 3 coasters taken. Kingda Ka scared me more but it was more the anticipation than the ride itself.
I never done kingda ka but I’ve done el toro. Kingda ka looks scary as hell
“Thrill ride” maybe try the water park
At least you can say you rode the best wooden coaster in the world!
@@ethanthedeersorts2103Nobody cares.
My fiancees last name is DEL TORO so I always tell her they named this after her
This ride is pure insanity. My son went on it 4 times. I can be impressed by it while still absolutely hating it, because it’s not my kind of coaster (my son begged me to do it with him the first time, so I did). I thought I could muscle through it, and it wouldn’t be that bad. Looks are deceiving. This is not a typical wooden coaster. Good grief. It is super high and sure fast.
Really don’t take little kids under 8 on this no matter how tall they are imo. It’s too intense! But for everyone else that likes drops and lots of negative Gs, I’m sure it’s a blast.
My little sister is 8 years old and she went on it and was amazed, I'm almost 11 years old and when I got on it I thought, best coaster I ridden, it's so intense and filled with airtime
My 9 year old son wanted to ride it, but when I told him how intense it was he backed out. I was kind of glad he did, because I don't think he would be able to handle it. I am an experienced coaster rider and can barely handle it lol
Guys. Tomorrow we get to ride one of the best coasters in the world after 9 months.
Had a sore neck for like a week after riding this thing twice. Totally worth it.
You never been on wooden coasters then. These things will kill ya even on the best days
Toro is supposed to be super smooth. She just had an accident yesterday and sent people to hospital
@@Bobbyroberts310 Yeah, can't recall being on a wooden roller coaster previous to this.
Lucky!
@@Bobbyroberts310 Thunderhead, Mystic Timbers, Voyage, Legend, Beast are all very comfortable wooden coasters. And that's just 1 handful of the ones I've ridden.
Who’s here after 12 people hurt and the ride was shut down?
me 😭😭
I went to the park and rid el toro like 6 hours before the accident ☠️ I sat in the back and it hurt like hell and now my back and neck are all sore
Me
Meee 🤣😭
Bruh I was there yesterday 😂 wanting to go on that Ride again
