Give it up...It is under 1min/1min to the dot. Hell, if you want other examples...Cornball Express is only 2,100ft long, Raven 2,800ft long, and both of those coasters don't do nearly as much as Toro and are constantly highly touted. I just looked at TPR's video...Balder is 54 seconds long from drop...

Originally posted by english coaster guy Looks like i under-rated this coaster. Nitro and pdon have made the coaster seem unreal. I enjoyed Colossus at Heide Park to an extreme amount. Although the speed is a little more sustained and faster on Toro. Thus expecting El Toro to be one of my favorite ...

I RUN through middle of park and arcade, and 3rd person at El Toro! Let me just say this was my first time in PDC, and it looks fantastic. Very nice t...

Originally posted by e-man Sure, there are lats existent in the high speed turns, the turnaround, and others, but not the kind of lats I personally like. For me, the good kind of lats are the ones like the little drop turn after Boss's first drop, where you're literally thrown to the side, rather t...

Originally posted by e-man You couldn't be more wrong in your arguments. I mean, sure, I think Toro is great as well, but just as well I think Voyage is much better and can fully understand those who think Toro is dissapointing. Most top 10 coasters are much longer than 10-20 secs. In fact, the onl...

Originally posted by jayman ^my point.. reinforced. some people like an instant rush, that ends as soon as it started .. no problem... that's valid.. i'm one of those who wants several very intense moments that lasts a few minutes, rather than one or two "very very very very' intense moments and sc...

Once again, it is so far from a one trick pony....it has constant speed, intense G's at bottom of hills, and high laterals in twister section and turnaround. Just becaus eit has tons of ejector airtime doesn't mean it's not a great ride. Hell, Balder was #1 in Mitch's poll and that is FAR more of a ...

MF is even shorter, and is constantly rated #1 and in top 5's in every single poll...

Ride Toro before you start criticizing it.

Originally posted by Real LMAO...theres 3 things I see in the reviews. Airtime. Fast. Smooth. Which one really doesnt matter? Yea, the smooth. Why does a ride have to be SMOOTH (quoted) to be world class? Same for speed. What is fast? Fast is a relative term. Being a CP native anything under 93mph ...
