My favorite coaster of all time. 1) It is one of the fastest wooden coaster ride in the world. 2) The steep drops give you the full impact of the intensity. 3) Definitely a must ride in Six Flags, along with Nitro.

This is absolutely my FAVORITE ride at Six Flags Great Adventures. It’s so good to see how people still ride and love El Toro, even after the new roller coasters made of steel are taking over the park. This coaster has a sharp drop, twisting turns, and it’s fast, everything you can ever want, and it’s all wooden, which is another surprising thing! Definitely worth a ride, or two, or three!

This is my favorite ride in Six Flags Great Adventure. If you love the traditional wooden type of roller coaster without the loops and flashing lights, this is it. It is huge, it is long, and it rocks your world! You will need to be securely fastened, I could barely breathe when the attendant pushed the safety bar down on me. At the first dip, you will feel like you are going to fly off the car, so being tightly hemmed in helps. Thereafter it is a series of speed and dips and climbs. Awesome ride! At the end of it, if you are still up for another round, wave your hand in the air(if you have a platinum flash pass) and you are good to go. Otherwise, exit and recover.

El Toro is absolutely my most favorite roller coaster ride in Six Flags! It is the fastest wooden roller coaster. If you love steep drops, this is the ride for you! El Toro is one of the longer rides in Six Flags. It’s a bit under two minutes. Not too short, not too long. Just the right amount. The right amount of fast speed with continuous up’s and down’s and around. The ride does make your body move all over so you’re subject to a few bumps here and there especially your behind. Strap in tightly in your seat and enjoy the ride! I really enjoyed the ending of the ride when the coaster is coming down from the last hill and it makes really quick twists and turns… and yeah I came off the coaster wobbling! The ride does not have a neck support so beware. Must-ride!
