There has been all this coverage about the Prowler and Terminator GCI's, I just found some cool pictures and updates about the new El Toro GCI coaster at Freizeitpark Plohn. I think this coaster looks great!

I hadn't noticed this coaster until a couple days back as well. It's the only GCI I know of that has no crossovers. It's nearly an out-and-back by their standards!

Plenty of airtime and even some nice lats to be had on this ride by the looks of it.

Well just because it's bigger doesn't always mean better, beside have your ridden this german El toro to compare it with anything else... I think not

It's probably as smooth as you'll get from a non-Intamin prefab woodie, and probably awesome. Better than ET at GAdv? I probably wouldn't take it over GAdv's, but I'd sure love it either way.

Looks like it should be a great coaster, intresting that they decided to name this El Toro as well. Although the stats are not the most impressive, this will probably be a coaster that will put the park on the map so to speak and draw some considerable attention to it. After seeing what the park has (a Big Apple and a Flitzer), this ride will probably be huge to everyone who comes to the park, and should get some good lines. I look forward to seeing more photos of the new ET.
