El Toro is a wooden roller coaster designed by Intamin AG that is located at Six Flags Great Adventure. It was inaugurated on June 11, 2006 as the wooden roller coaster with the highest degree of vertical inclination in the world, exactly 76º (this record had until 2008, in which the Express Express surpassed it by 1º). It is also famous for its height (55 meters), its speed (113 km / h) and for being the first wood to use a rise cable or cable lift instead of the traditional chain lift or chain lift. It is also noteworthy that, because of the high negative G forces that passengers endure during the journey and especially during "air time" or air times, the holding bars are very tight and are very close to the passengers, which causes many problems for the elderly, overweight or tall.

El Toro is the main attraction of a new themed area in Mexico called "Plaza Del Carnaval". File

It is normal for people to seek to experience more and more intense emotions, this explains the great novelty that provokes the inauguration of a new roller coaster of greater height, speed and degree of inclination. It is in the new generations that this deepens because they are already subjected from an early age to experiences with speed, gravity and vertiginous movements both real and virtual. so new generations need more doses of adrenaline than previous generations.
