That's quite a statement. Now I have really high expectations, since Raptor is easily my second favorite behind Millennium Force.

I went on Kingda Ka and El Toro last year and they were awesome. The accelaration on Kingda Ka was kick ass as was the drop on the other end. El Toro was fucking amazing. The lift and the ride were so smooth. Nitro was also awesome.
A couple of friends and I have been planning to go to Cedar Point this year after the blast we had last year at Six Flags Great Adventure.
El Toro made me it's bitch. That lift you get is the business of a serious nature.
Holy hell! That's something I have to try.Quote:

Next month, I'm going to take a tuesday off and head up with the woman to GA. El Toro sounds cool, but it better not kick my ass like wooden rollercoasters do.
The Raptor in Cedar Point > All.
Screw pure high speed roller coasters.
El Toro isn't just a high speed roller coaster. It's got unreal air time.

And the record for the steepest drop on a wooden coaster.

That's higher than Mavericks hill to give you perspective. 181 feet.
But Maverick is also a completely different style of coaster.Quote:

That drop on El Toro is the fucking truth.
I had no clue El Toro was so nuts until I was on it. It made Nitro feel silly
