New Forellenhof, Germany GCI Coaster!

[Too-MassI Guess Donkeys Are Okay]

They had a contest to find a name for the coaster. The Park chose "El Toro"...most of the visitors of Forellenhof won't even know about the existance of the "real" Toro.

[Vffreak07Sir Haunts-a-lot]

And yet they use a Renegade construction picture on the front page too. Jeez.

[ShockwaveNon-German Tom]

Haha, nice!

Now I can say I've been on at least one of the El Toros by the end of the year.

[smartestcoasterkidever!X is the best. Tatsu sucks.]

And yet they use a Renegade construction picture on the front page too. Jeez.

I think it might be a Prowler picture. I'm not sure

Great. Now we'll have two good wooden coasters in the world named El Toro

Jeez. AND they have a partial Thunderbird picture on the park's home page...

Parks do this all the time, taking pics of existing rides to illustrate their own. It's not that uncommon.

At least Freizeitpark Plohn is using rides by the same manufacturer--Happy Valley used the First El Toro to advertise their GG ride...

They're obviously trying to trick the general public. Which of course is a good thing

The name of the coaster is "El Toro"

i don't get it — it's bad enough to blatantly steal the name of another coaster, but, honestly, i don't even think “El Toro” is a name worth stealing!

to get to the coaster itself, though: it's kind of cool to see GCI doing something a little different from their norm, i guess, but i think their “norm” is probably a lot more up my alley than this — i always think coasters need to be more twisted, not less! i'm sure it'll be a fun ride, though, especially since their does seem to be at least some of that great GCI twisty-ness, and the POV makes it look like it goes quite fast, too.
