It is a fantastic coaster & VERY INTENSE so hopefully they do inspection daily for anything out of the ordinary.The same people should do this as they would know how the ride feels.
For real I’ve riden many times best roller coaster hands down sucks a few old apples mess it up for everyone but that’s people looking for a hand out hopefully they open. It back up
I’ve ridden it several times as well, and it’s my ABSOLUTE fav ride! And I worked there when Rolling Thunder was built, so that’s saying something…. Anyway, their maintenance crews USED to be top notch, I knew most of them, so any ‘accidents’ were usually not because of ride maintenance, but stupid guests and untrained operators/stupid guests. Except for the Haunted House, now THAT was a debacle from the onset. I worked in that department and was originally supposed to work in there, (I had BEEN in a trailer fire and knew what happens to them) but I lied and told them I was allergic to the makeup, and they put me in another facility. WHEW! I truly believe the pandemic caused a lot of ‘open the park, we’ll work on issues later’ mentality and unfortunately it is the riders that now have to pay for the inability of Corporate Park Management to protect them…. When you damage teeth and other pieces of your mouth from hitting a ‘pothole’ of sorts at 35+ mph, someone has to be held accountable, which in this case, is absolutely Park Officials… Sincerely, a Roller Coaster Enthusiast since 1968….
I am pretty sure he just looked at the map without looking at the name of the park in Phoenix because he would have seen it was only a hurricane harbor not a six flags park.
It’s six flags great adventure in jackson, NJ. El Toro was my favorite ride. Sad to see it shut down but it seems like the bull was getting a Lil to wild. Hope everyone is ok
The ORIGINAL SIX FLAGS OVER TEXAS is in Arlington, Texas, not Dallas. Other locations of note credited by the ignorant as being in Dallas are Dallas Cowboys AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field, home of MLB Texas Rangers. Arlington is just a tiny town of 400,000 people.
No one cares. Outside of Texas, and for many Texans outside of the metroplex, anything in DFW that’s not Fort Worth is just Dallas. Arlington, Frisco, Plano, Irving and all the other indistinct municipalities that just blend together… all Dallas.
There is no six flags in San Francisco. How about Vallejo, dear writer. If you are just saying near there then say Bay Area big difference between SF and Vallejo!
Yes, I went there last month, and my dautgher got her arms and back injured. She’s 10 years old, and I know the attarction a bit over for a kid, but I hope they can at very least stop allowing kids there. I’ve also hurt my arms, trying to hold her, but I don’t care about myself. The park is amazing, apart from that. Unfortunately my dauther didn’t get courage for anything else after el toro.
This is my home park, and has many great coasters. This one, however, is way too rough and I hardly ever ride it because of it. I figured it was only a matter of time before something like this happened.
This is my most favorite coaster in the park. Yes it’s rough and that what I love about it. …it’s not called the Bull for nothing! Sorry to read that a few patrons were hurt on this ride which is rather unfortunate. They did not explain how or was it injuries took place. I am hopeful that they’ll get this fixed inspected and open again for the remaining of the 2022 calendar year.
I have written El Toro many many times, including 10 times in a row within an hour one day when they opened it early for pass holders. It is one of my favorite rides. It was very smooth when it opened. In recent years, the hardest thing for me was how hard they jam down the lap bars on this ride. That part could literally be uncomfortable. It’s always scary when I ride has some kind of accident or causes injuries. Hopefully they can evaluate What specifically happened here and solve it. It is a great ride and should not be lumped in with rough, old style wooden roller coasters, which many people still enjoy but are a different category then El Toro.
The Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Il. is another disaster in the making. We recently had a incident of multiple shots fired in the parking lot. Of course the perpetrators escaped. They most likely ran back to Chicago. What else is new.
Great adventure has been having some problems since it first open, I broke a couple ribs on the runaway train. If the eltoro(bill) was tougher than that I feel sorry for all the injuries people experienced. Plus I always thought that six flags had a new ride every year almost which I thought was a bit much. I still love Great Adventure, but I’ll stick to rides closer to the ground and slower
El Toro is rough….not a ride for children or the faint of heart…over time it has not been so smooth as they put it..but has increased in intensity. To be honest the park has taken a turn for the worst…Not fun anymore…they need to go back to the Fun Family Park they used to be…with fun rides and shows..that are safe and inspected every couple of months!! Why pay all that money for a day of fun…only to be injured??? Either do better Six Flags or close your parks!! Period!
I’m a life long NJ resident and was a pass holder til the park got bad.
El Toro is one of my favorite rides and it sucks that this happened. It’s now the second year in a row that something happened to force Great Adventure to close El Toro. Last year, one of the trains derailed. I hope these incidents don’t spell a future without El Toro. I haven’t been to GAdv in over a year and I want one last ride if they decide to close her for good.
Wait isn’t this the second accident this ride has had already ? I went to Jersey in 2021 and the ride was down because the cart came halfway off the track so did this happen again for a second time?
OMG seriously???? Do they not realize this is the MAIN thing people go for?? I mean, I hate people getting hurt though. Heck I think the Shockwave has had more issues and it’s still up and running. 😔
OK so what happened? You say a loud bang, and the CAUSE is being investigated but what did the people actually experience? Did it suddenly stop? Details are the mark of a good writer and this article lacks.
I go to Great Adventure once a week all summer and El Toro is my favorite coaster in the park. I rode it ten times in a row and I was fine. I rode it two times the day before the accident. I’m 60yrs old & I can handle it. People are just looking for money!!
Not when it hits a pothole( a section of track that is separating from the wooden structure ) as reported later on in a separate more coherent report. When a coaster is traveling at that speed and does that yeah people are gonna get hurt and why 6 Flags NJ is hiring a 3rd party company to inspect it and see if it’s repairable.
Anyone reading this please dont believe this bs and I’m not referring to this crappy ride and the injuries it causes but the message behind it. Making statements that this ride is like a bull and it’s trying to shake you off. the beginning article opens up with a ridiculous statement about how bullfighting is an ancient this and that and how wonderful it is.. etc.. bunch of fabricated BS!
Bulls are nothing like what they’re depicted to be. If you ever go to an animal rescue go visit the bulls. Theyre the most gentle animals that you will ever meet in person! Bulls are extremely calm and gentle and yes huge and yes they hover over you and it’s kind of scary just to stand there and be next to them but they’re sweet and gentle they literally lean over so you can pet them! they do not do anything that they are depicted to do! the only reason why they act out the way they do during rodeos is because they’re kept in these really huge segregated warehouses in the dark. they have chilies and yes I mean pepper chilies shoved in their eyeballs, Vaseline shoved up their noses and spikes put around their heels so they have to stand in pain!
they’re not fed and they’re not given any water and they’re left in total darkness and isolation! So why do they do this you ask? Because it leaves an animal without any of its senses… hungry for a few days by itself what do you think happens when they let an animal like that out of its shed when it’s rodeo day?
well they come out disoriented, hungry, and happy to be out! The one thing they don’t come out as is angry or aggressive just so happy to get out they buck around!
because the chilies come out of their eyes vaseline comes out of their nose that can hear and see they’re not in the dark anymore not all covered up in ankle spikes come off of their and they’re just so relieved and happy to get out!
can you imagine living like that and being stuck in a rodeo and they’re treating you that way? so when you come out what do you think you’re gonna act like?
No only are these animals are used as a commodity and they are carted around as if they are not even living beings! they just just go from one horrible rodeo to another to be treated like garbage tortured and abused for human entertainment selfish selfish human entertainment! it’s disgusting and I still cannot believe it’s not outlawed! it is nothing short of animal abuse!
And if you don’t believe me go look it up how animals are treated before rodeo this is what they want people to believe that they’re coming out angry and bucking and they just do this naturally out of nowhere it’s a bunch of BS and this ride is based on the notion that bulls act this way when they don’t act Petting zoos, animal shows, breeding grounds… disgusting! All this equates to animal abuse! When will selfish humans wake TF up? All these places much like sea world use animals a entertainment props! These are glorified prisons for animals! Abuse comes in many forms and not just through physically abusing someone but mental and social as well! You visit these places you are promoting and supporting this cycle of abuse. Animals are not entertainment props and they don’t belong on captivity but they’re own natural habitat. I hope Rodris are shut down forever! My daughter in exotic wild animal specialist that holds a PHD in animal sciences and is highly against places like this for hood reason. Please don’t give them your money to the selfish fools that own and operate this place if you don’t support animal abuse. this way because nasty selfish cruel humans put them in this position they treat them in such a way that this is how they react when they won out of their prisons that they were put in by nasty humans that have no heart and No compassion! remember this before you decide to go to a rodeo your money you’re supporting and promoting Animal abuse!
He should have looked at the names of the parks in each city to know some mentioned only have the water park left and some don’t even carry the six flag name. The frontier city in OKC was bad 25 years ago I can’t imagine it improved. He didn’t even mention Arlington (not calling it Dallas doesn’t count, DFW maybe but not Dallas). If you can’t fact check about a company with a quick internet search then just write about the 1 problematic coaster.
Interesting. I love El toro but a few years back me and my wife were on it. The coaster broke down when we were at the very top of the chain lift where there is no staircase. We were stuck for about 5 mins and the entire train was joking if we’d ever get off. Finally the speakers stated they had to reset the system and the brakes as well. Once it engaged it was way faster than any ride I’d ever had on it. The entire train was talking about how ridiculous the ride felt after we got off. It actually felt too fast like the carts would come off the tracks.
I rode el Toro when it first opened and hurt my neck/back.
We had to leave the park. I couldn’t turn my head and every bump on the car ride home killed my back. I never rode a wood coaster again.
They keep talking about people being injured and write a whole article about it with only a sentence describing back pain. Can’t we get more details? Like what caused this injury?
San Francisco and Los Angeles are incorrect cities. Why not just list the actual cities that they are in? Or say Northern California and Southern California? Because neither of these cities have the theme parks. In fact in both situations they are about an hour +, of driving, from its respective actual location.
There is no six flags in Chicago!! It’s in Gurnee Illinois which is about an hour away from Chicago. Moron writer just pulling randoms. If you’re unsure of where the parks are located then just name the states duh.
It was in Jackson NJ and its about time they closed that death trap down. I hated that headache ride. Went on it once or twice as a kid then never again.
El Toro is my favorite ride at Six Flags Great Adventure in NJ. Last year, it was closed when I visited. This year it was open.

That is what made it such a thrill to ride! Despite its speed and movement, the ride was always smooth…a huge advantage over other wooden coasters. Sadly, the coaster must have fallen into disrepair during the pandemic, as there were certainly signs of lapsing care observed elsewhere throughout the park. The Jersey Devil was amazing and my new favorite! It’s definitely a consideration we all need to take when visiting a theme park since the start of the pandemic, due to financial burdens and availability of resources. Rides need meticulous evaluations daily to keep the public safe. We are also essentially putting our faith in young adults to be attentive and exercise caution when operating rides. With such high turnover, detailed training isn’t guaranteed. I’m glad the riders in the incident weren’t seriously injured, though lasting effects are expected, if not physically, then emotionally for sure. Stay safe out there!
The last few times I rode El Toro, it was rough. The banked turn back towards the station is wicked.You need to remain limber and go with the flow. If you’re too rigid, I could see where one could suffer neck & back injuries

Yes, I rode this coaster 1x!
Never again!!! Because they have to push that bar down on your legs so tight! It hurts, then you take off like a raging bull! Nope!!!! Give me Nitro!!!😍

Interesting. I love El toro but a few years back me and my wife were on it. The coaster broke down when we were at the very top of the chain lift where there is no staircase. We were stuck for about 5 mins and the entire train was joking if we’d ever get off. Finally the speakers stated they had to reset the system and the brakes as well. Once it engaged it was way faster than any ride I’d ever had on it. The entire train was talking about how ridiculous the ride felt after we got off. It actually felt too fast like the carts would come off the tracks.

El Toro is my favorite ride at Six Flags Great Adventure in NJ. Last year, it was closed when I visited. This year it was open. I visited the week prior to this incident and it was NOT the same El Toro! The ride was very choppy and almost painful…I couldn’t wait for it to end! I was so surprised and between grunts of pain while riding, I was literally yelling, “what the hell happened?” El Toro was always fast with lots of twists and turns, just like a bull, as the name suggests. That is what made it such a thrill to ride! Despite its speed and movement, the ride was always smooth…a huge advantage over other wooden coasters. Sadly, the coaster must have fallen into disrepair during the pandemic, as there were certainly signs of lapsing care observed elsewhere throughout the park. The Jersey Devil was amazing and my new favorite! It’s definitely a consideration we all need to take when visiting a theme park since the start of the pandemic, due to financial burdens and availability of resources.
