I have rode this rollercoaster multiple times for the past 10 years. People saying it's not rough must not have rode it in the recent years because it's definitely gotten a lot more rough. I used to adore this rollercoaster and thought it was one of the best ever until it got too rough for me to really enjoy anymore.

El Toro is an absolute banger of a ride, it's a shame something happened. I know RMC is super popular at the moment (and very understandably so considering how incredible their coasters have been) but honestly the idea of El Toro having a fully steel track just seems kinda bizarre to me. Hopefully sometime in the future it can get retracked by GCI with their new Titan Track.

For all we know, it could suffer the same mysterious fate as Dragster and there’d be no telling of when or if it will reopen again.

Exactly. Roller coasters are some of the safest places you can be, and ur 750 000 000 times more likely to get injured on ur way to a theme park than on the actual rides. Mind you, all Intamin prefab woodies except one have suffered track issues in the past (El Toro being one of them). I hope to see either Titan track or RMC I-Box on Toro, yet keeping it's original layout.

The only issue I have with this is that they're calling this coaster unsafe. They are EXTREMELY safe. This is likely human error since six flags has been cheap lately. If you don't want to go somewhere with a VERLY SLIGHTLY higher risk of injury, then just go to any other companies park. Cedar fair, busch gardens, sea world, universal, or independent parks like Hersheypark.

0:56, its not the largest in the nation and also not the steepest vertical drop cause its not even vertical, and also I hope they don't listen to the freaking kid at 1:00 cause that is literally the point of the ride and that's his opinion if he doesn't like being whipped around a lot on the ride which should change nothing. Same with the guy on 1:45, that is the entire point of the ride is to feel dangerous and everyone knows its perfectly safe. If you don't think so then don't ride. I get how you could fee unsafe from an injure like how Frank was saying but nobody should think roller coasters are unsafe and should be slown down at all. I sure hope they do some retracting tor fix this problem but in no way is it necessary to tone the ride down and make it less intense or fast or whippy. Keep the feeling the same as needed.

after the re-tracking post 2021 derailment, there was a small gap in the tracks somewhere along the course. The train completed its normal cycle, yet all the passengers complained of pain due to all the forces of the jolt being exerted on their bodies. All 5 of the people who were hospitalized were released, and all injuries from the accident were minor. This vid is just blowing everything out of proportion as the GP always does with these sorts of things.
