Hmmm.

I'd prefer that they be inconsistently closed than consistently closed.  Deja Vu, anyone?  Chiller?  Volcano?

TTD or KK their respective first years?

It's just a fact of life...stuff happens.  If they can get a closed coaster up and running, more power to them.  I'd rather see that than to have it closed all day just because it didn't open with the park or shut down later in the day....

It is open again on a fairly consistant basis.  I'd check here the day before or the actual day you go.  If something is up, we tend to find out really quickly ;)

Toro ran very well yesterday. We waited only 45 minutes to get on with two full switchbacks. Two trains really helps out the capacity! From what I saw, it ran very well.

Expect Toro to be down for much of today.  Trust me, they are working on it!

El Toro down is down today 07/10/06.
They were saying it might be open again on Wednesday.
The train is sitting at the turn before the lift hill.
But the bridge is open!!

Thanks for the update...

Fyi - it is "possible" it will open tonight or tomorrow but Wednesday is the official date they are shooting for.

Any word on if it opened back up tonight? I'll be heading to the park tomorrow with some friends who haven't ridden Toro yet so hopefully it will be open.

I went on it twice last night in the pitch black. About 30 minute wait both time, maybe even less than that.

I'm bumping this thread so that people can keep up with the status of El Toro.  It had a minor issue last Sunday that closed it the rest of the day and for some reason, there was speculation on the internet (go figure) that claimed it could be closed for a while.  This is NOT TRUE!  El Toro is running great as of this posting with 2 train operations so go out and ride it :)

Anyone going to the park the next few days should take note of El Toro's lift hill... it will most likely be CRAWLING over the top, due to recent "problems" that the park thought were under control, they now think the answer is slowing the lift hill down at the top, ala SFMM.


Yeah, that sucks about Chiller...I hate to see it like that. Hey, so we should get a group picture or something ok. I'll call you later!

If you haven't been to the park in the past few years, the park removed allot of flat rides due to solutions they thought they had wrapped up in a nut shell, ala SFMM.

They felt that El Toro was feeling like Rolling Thunder, so they closed it. Rolling Thunder remains open.
Prepare to weather the storm!

El Toro is closed and there is a crane up with people inspecting the first drop.
