Talk:El Toro (Six Flags Great Adventure)

Unprofessional attitude
Am I the only who views many of the "weight" related portions of this article to be offensive and unprofessional? "Losing weight is one of the solutions to this, as lighter guests do not usually have a problem." Not really necessary... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.108.252.16 (talk) 00:07, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

You're not the only one. We need a description of the roller coaster, not an attempt to "sell" it to the reader. Mean-spirited comments are definitely out of place. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lesiz (talk • contribs) 03:15, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Name
I am considering changing the title to, El Toro (Great Adventure) because their is a 2nd El Toro roller coaster in Germany. Doesn't anybody disagree? Astros4477 (talk) 23:15, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Records held
Why does this say ET is the 3rd fastest? It's actually the fastest wooden in the world: http://rcdb.com/rhr.htm?t=2

Also, structure height isn't nearly as important as drop height, and ET has the highest drop of wooden coasters in the world: http://rcdb.com/rhr.htm?m=3&t=2

FYI, Son of Beast is about to be torn down. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jbw9999 (talk • contribs) 14:15, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

$28 million cost
Please do not post a price until a valid source can be located. The actual cost is unknown. While the video source does present a good argument for that figure, it is just speculation. Why would Six Flags spend $28 million in 2006 for a wooden coaster, if a B&M giga like Orion could be had for $30 million? — JlACEer ( talk ) 18:20, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

Incident
I'm thinking that the article should be updated to reflect that Toro is closed. They're currently doing repairs to the entire ride which consist of taking track pieces off and replacing them with new wood. Although this signifies that the ride will reopen eventually, we can be pretty certain this will result in a significant amount of downtime for these repairs. Also, with the State of New Jersey red-tagging the ride, this means that the ride cannot legally operate, or even send test trains, until the redtag is removed. — jack_flanagan14 ( talk )
 * I think we all know that it's going to be down for a while, but per WP:CRYSTALBALL we need a source before we can put that in the article.— JlACEer ( talk ) 01:35, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
