El Toro

Inspired by the strength and bravery of a bull-taming matador, El Toro features the steepest drop of any wooden roller coaster in the country at a record-breaking
76 degrees.
  This imposing thrill ride combines all the best features of wooden coasters with the smooth speed of their steel counterparts.

  • Experience weightlessness with nine separate "airtime" opportunities
  • Take on four fast-charging drops, multiple highly-banked turns and a beastly "twister" finale
  • Ride one of the tallest, fastest wooden coasters in the World

#2 Wooden Coaster

El Toro recently won the 2010 Golden Ticket Award for #2 Wooden Coaster.  The Golden Ticket Awards are presented to the “Best of the Best” in the amusement industry by the monthly periodical Amusement Today and are calculated from an international poll of well-traveled amusement park fans.
