coasterlover420 Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Well worth the cross-country trip to NJ/Hell. I wonder how they're doing in Hell now that it's 6/6/06. ^Lucky bastards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dailey Enterprizes Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 ^^ It's the attack of the water dummies! I seem so close to this park, yet I'm so far away. I just wish I lived on the other side of PA, so a trip to this park doesn't sound as long. Eh, I'll eventually get to it someday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hercules Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Well, I'm positive it will be open on Saturday barring any kind of mechanical setback. It is Coaster Celebration and ERT is set for 8:30AM. If it is not open there will be a bunch of unhappy nerds at the park in the early morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danbeer Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 El Toro media day MONDAY!!!!!! From Xtreme Coasters I just received an email from Kristin Siebenecher, the public relations manager for Six Flags Great Adventure: MEDIA ALERT * MEDIA ALERT For Immediate Release June 10, 2006 On June 12, Run With The Bulls At Six Flags Great Adventure As The Monstrous 'El Toro' Wooden Roller Coaster Is Unleashed WHAT: El Toro, Six Flags Great Adventure's highly-anticipated, monstrous wooden coaster, will celebrate its grand opening June 12 in Jackson, NJ. Media are invited to enjoy exclusive ride time on the coaster before it opens to the public that afternoon. WHEN: MONDAY, June 12, 2006 at 11 a.m. WHERE: Six Flags Great Adventure, Jackson, NJ. Exit 7A of NJ Turnpike to I-195 East to Exit 16A; OR GSP to Exit 98 to I-195 West to Exit 16. All media - use employee entrance 100 yds. past main entrance. Follow signs to media event. Event starts promptly at 11 am. DETAILS: El Toro, which has the steepest vertical drop of any wooden coaster in the world, 76 white-knuckled degrees, marries the smooth height, speed, technology and exciting twisting elements of steel coasters with a classic wooden design. El Toro's launch will be highlighted by roller coaster enthusiasts from six states including New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey taking part in a "Running of the Bulls." Led by Spanish "Running of the Bulls" veteran Jesus Urtasun of Willingboro, NJ, participants will charge toward the coaster dressed in traditional red-and-white Running of the Bulls attire, and compete to be the first to take on the fierce El Toro. At 188 feet tall, reaching 70 mph, El Toro ranks among the tallest and fastest wooden roller coasters in the world. In addition to its record-breaking vertical drop, its 4,400 feet of mountainous track has the second tallest, fastest and longest drop of any wooden coaster in America. GREAT VIDEO, AUDIO AND INTERVIEW OPPORTUNITIES! TV ASSIGNMENT EDITORS - El Toro-mounted reverse point-of-view camera will be available to film your reporter, and great ride b-roll tapes will be available. Expect a full report for Coaster World News later Monday night, and hopefully a reverse POV that will be uploaded Tuesday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okinawaboy11 Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 ^ Uh well welcome to the forums, but is it really necessary that you type in all caps? It's not officially open, it's not open untill tomorrow, Media Day. Not the Public opening. The Public opening is I dunno when. I'm guessing the 13th.

stew560 Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 El Toro IS open! I got a ride in the front row! (Pictures taken after the public opening around 2pm today) The airtime is just hella crazy insane. The ops have been instructed to MEGA Staple EVERY rider because of it. The ejector air is so intense, I've never felt anything close! (Not even SROS) After the biggest pop of Ejector Air EVER on the passover of RT, the twister section FLIES through the first half and then slows down for the pull into the brakes. This thing is insane. Seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HCOSurfer90 Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 That's perfect . The 27th never felt so close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
