For those who have never rode it it's a 180ish foot drop. For a wooden rollercoaster that's just nuts. Best way I can describe it is with the lap bar and the little bar you hold onto for dear life that's to the side if the seat, this ride is literally trying to throw you off of it the whole time. It's fantastic.
@@elijahblackwell1845 Yes. I can tell you that it is not any steeper and faster in real life than this video. Roller coasters keep to relativity consistent speeds even taking weight and degration into account. It's obviously just more intense in real life and watching a video is different so your pushing an illogical oxymoron fallacy. There is no excuse to being uneducated. There are options out there for everyone. Go do a course on English to improve your situational awareness regarding context.
This is THE BEST rollercoaster I've been on by far. And I know people said it before me, but don't let it fool you, it's NOT for the faint-hearted. It's super-fast, the fast climb builds up on the anticipation and fear, that drop is near-lethal. I actually felt I was going to die. With only a metal bar separating you and impending death, it's a 10/10 thrill-ride.
I tried it three times. The very front, the middle and, the back. The back was the most intense. The front gives the most anticipation. The middle was ok.
As with most wooden coasters, the last row is the best! I've done front row on this, and middle, but nothing beats the back. Getting yanked over that first drop is like heaven in the back.
Don’t let this video fool you. It’s just a POV of people getting destroyed. This ride is gnarly and intense as hell. Probably the meanest one in the park 🤘
I rode el toro for the first time and I was so surprised by how fast it was. When the first drop case my head flew back and I couldn’t even make my head stay still omg .
I remember being in queue for this. And the sound El Toro makes when going over those airtime hills after the drop is insane! That and the instant silence of screams after the second airtime hill make the queue quite the experience itself
I got on this ride, thinking it would be a simple wooden coaster, and I got off loving it! This coaster is wild, the POV doesn’t show how intense the coaster is. I went on with my friends, and I was the only one who liked it! Happy this is at my home park, and definitely recommend this ride
I'm going ti six flags great adventure and I'm scared of Rollercoaster because I don't like the belly feeling that much u think I should go on this as the first one or no
The first drop had my stomach feeling like it was in my brain lmaooo, organs fell all out of place, I literally was clenching my teeth. It was fun though but those drops fuckkk
I love the clarity of the video HOWEVER if you've been on el Toro you can attest to the fact that this didnt showcase how fast this wooden coaster really is. This made me appreciate wooden coasters than ever before!
I’ve ridden this years ago when I was 6, my parents said if I do I can get a hamster. I was terrified and had to hold on to my dad, but I did it and was so much fun. The day after I went to the pet shop and picked out a hamster and named him ELFluffy, as a reminder to how I got him.
@@idontknow1594 bro nitro is so fun. the last time i went on it i was in front row with my cousin. the couple next to us was screaming "OH SHIT" thee whole entire time LOL.
@@nandwproductions1662 i said it doesnt look that steep. what i meant was it doesnt look steep but once ur on it and u go down the drop, its steep as hell
I just went on this rollercoaster with my mom and older cousin that are just as scared as I am. This was my first “big” rollercoaster and let me just say I was not expecting a drop like that. The airtime was insane and this the most terrified and excited I’ve been in my life. I’ll just say that the POV doesn’t do it justice.
That coaster is brutal. The last row ist so sick. Your legs are hurting from getting ejected out of the seat against the seatbelt nonstop. By far the best coaster I have been on and I have been on very many rides all over the world. A real masterpiece.
At 0:53 we hear the loud hiss from Kingda Ka that comes exactly five seconds before the train launches. At 0:58 the Kingda Ka train launches (we hear the screams in the background). Two seconds later, El Toro begins its descent!
the rides ive gotten recently on this ive been literally flying out of my seat on those hills the ride is running really great this season and you are getting whipped over on the back seat
You should give Nitro a ride, it's one of the best coasters in the park. Last time I was there was on a chilly day and there was no line for Nitro so I got to marathon ride it about 10 times in a row, it was awesome. It's about 30 feet taller than El Toro but isn't quite as wild of a ride so I think you'd be fine, especially once you get past the lift hill.
mhtube01 i actually got up the courage to ride it last Friday and it was awesome haha. Only reason i was scared to go on it was because I had gone on it years ago when i was young, probably before i was even a teenager, and it wasn’t a pleasant experience lol. But now that I’m older I enjoyed it :)
Dosware Pictures very funny you definitely couldn’t have worked out that I was referring to all the GP lists involving Kingda consider the context of my comment
Jay Dobbins because most rmc’s have several good moments of airtime + inversions. rides like steel vengeance give u the intensity and airtime that rival b&m hypers in my opinion. so having a couple of barrel rolls thrown in too is badass
0:50 "Haha, look at that! We're not even halfway up to the top of Kingda Ka." I literally clicked on this video just to appreciate how tall Kingda Ka is, and the guy's comment made it all the more satisfying.
*DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THIS VIDEO* Bruh, I thought I was going to die. Do I wanna go back, to remember the ride clearly, but I remember the fear when that 1st drop came. Christ I thought I was going to fall.
This rollercoaster is brutal- just went on it today . Few coasters have given me that feeling as if I’m gonna fall out as much as this one. And you’ll be impressed by how intense the sound of rattling wood could scare you to death.
I got on this ride last week on Friday for the first time and bro, 0:48 to 0:52 seeing that drop was insane. The drop itself and the airtime is out of this world, and the twists had me fighting for my life. I came in underestimating the ride and i gotta say, it’s definitely top 3 best rides in the park
@sharkheadkey31 okay so sorry for the late response! But from what I know is that the easiest is green lantern or Superman. You really can’t prepare yourself for it but try Superman and green lantern or Batman. That’s always broken. If you can accomplish this you’re good to go for more intense rides.
It's a toss up between this and Kingda Ka for me as the best ride at Great Adventure. The drop on El Toro is insane. But the launch on Kingda Ka is absolutely face melting.
persoanlly I love nitro, haven't gone on this ride yet but thinking about it haha a little scared for that first drop. But if you havent been on nitro yet I highly reccomend it!

Man, none of these videos do justice to this thing, but it's the nature of seeing something, versus feeling it. The OG Cyclone is a wicked ride. Now multiply the drop by over 2x, and increase the drop angle by about ten degrees, and you've got El Toro... I'm really glad I got to ride this thing back in 2010. It wasn't as tough psychologically as Nitro, or Kingda Ka for that matter (the latter wasn't as bad as it looks), but the rough ride of a wooden coaster more than made up for it. Probably helped I went on those two before this lol
I'll never forget when I first went on this. I was around 10 and my sad thought this would be a first good rollercoaster for me. It felt absolutely crazy!
Haha😂 very funny cuz u are looking at a 176 ft ( 76 degrees) drop so u won't have time to think and do not think you won't look down on the steep drop. Once the train crests over steep drop, there's no turning back. I was like oh my god then.... yelling "whooooo!" really loud. It's insane !!!! You'll be flying out of your seat down the drop. Hang on tight. This is one WILD RIDE.
This rollercoaster helped me conquer my fear of coasters. On a school trip the park was empty so we went on the ride three times in a row while staying in the seats. It was godly
It was my first time in a roller coaster. And I choose to go to the el toro because I thought It wouldn’t be that scary and people are overreacting but when I got on it I started screaming before it dropped and I passed out the whole ride I didn’t wanna go to any roller coasters that day.
my brother and I got off to go see our picture. (we were in the very back seat.) everyone in it was laughing and yelling and smiling, but my head was in my knees from the force and my brothers head was cut off so all you could see was him desperately clutching his lap bar
Most intense ride there by far. What makes the 1st drop us that instead of the usual slow crawl down the very top of the drop (especially first few rows), this coaster builds speed before even hitting the slope so you feel EVERYTHING.
went to this park yesterday. Rode El Toro twice and intended to ride it a third time but couldn’t because we didn’t have time, both times the ride was so intense it literally forced tears out of my eyes so by the time i got off the ride it looked like i was ugly crying the entire time even though i was happier then ever. Not for the faint of heart or people who don’t like rough coasters but, my god, this ride is so fun. Easily my favorite
This ride is INSANE. Went on it today and my god. Literally could not keep my head up because of how fast we were going. Very fun, but I don't know if I'd do it again because of how uncomfortable it was haha
For those who have never rode it it's a 180ish foot drop. For a wooden rollercoaster that's just nuts. Best way I can describe it is with the lap bar and the little bar you hold onto for dear life that's to the side if the seat, this ride is literally trying to throw you off of it the whole time.

Best way to ride this is with your hands up. Nothing better than that free fall feeling. Don't hold on, let go! Holding on makes it scarier.
meh, Iron Gwazi has a 206 foot vertical drop , inversions, and many moments of ejector air time with just a lap bar

The slower ones are the ones that freak me out I hate laying on my back like that 🙃🙂

yeah when we were on we knew it got slower at the top but then it got really slow and then stopped. it was my first time on it what an experience
It's actually exciting and terrifying because it's the moment you realize ,"holy CRAP I'm on this thing"

One of the more intense, yet surprisingly smooth wooden coasters I have ridden. The air-time is insane.

This is one of my favorite coasters ever. Love love love it.
Never been on (too scared) but the ride is loud. It literally roars as the cart zooms by.
This rollercoaster helped me conquer my fear of coasters. On a school trip the park was empty so we went on the ride three times in a row while staying in the seats. It was godly
Still have the el Toro t shirt. So good
It was my first time in a roller coaster. And I choose to go to the el toro because I thought It wouldn’t be that scary and people are overreacting but when I got on it I started screaming before it dropped and I passed out the whole ride I didn’t wanna go to any roller coasters that day.
Same, but I didn't pass out. Just got a headache.
This is my favorite roller coaster!!! Long Live El Toro!!!
my brother and I got off to go see our picture. (we were in the very back seat.) everyone in it was laughing and yelling and smiling, but my head was in my knees from the force and my brothers head was cut off so all you could see was him desperately clutching his lap bar
Insanely good coaster. It earns its namesake. It feels like it’s trying its best to buck you off.
The airtime at 1:35 is insane.
Most intense ride there by far. What makes the 1st drop us that instead of the usual slow crawl down the very top of the drop (especially first few rows), this coaster builds speed before even hitting the slope so you feel EVERYTHING.
This was my favorite ride and now that were quarintened i cant ride it so thos is the next best thing😪
Thanks for not adding in music! 👍🏼
Just here cuz y’all trending
This is probably the best roller coaster I’ve ever been in. This is the best ride in the park, no contest
Rode 07/13/20: It’s still a beast 😩👌
thats one of if not the most intense drops/ coasters out there. video does no justice
Dear Intamin, please make more Wooden Pre-Fabs :)
Best wooden coaster ever. It is aptly named. It seems like it is doing everything it can to kick you off if it.
Not as good as The Voyage.
@@triple7marc that’s your opinion. Have you ridden El Toro?
@@fredericklockard3854 Yes I have. And The Voyage is way better lol
If you actually want to know what the ride is like watch the video in 2x speed. Also the first drop is much much steeper
went to this park yesterday. Rode El Toro twice and intended to ride it a third time but couldn’t because we didn’t have time, both times the ride was so intense it literally forced tears out of my eyes so by the time i got off the ride it looked like i was ugly crying the entire time even though i was happier then ever. Not for the faint of heart or people who don’t like rough coasters but, my god, this ride is so fun. Easily my favorite
Wow this is a lot less scarier than it actually was.
Not for me 😓
You are a demon.
This ride is INSANE. Went on it today and my god. Literally could not keep my head up because of how fast we were going.
Very fun, but I don't know if I'd do it again because of how uncomfortable it was haha
