Chuck, do you know exactly what is wrong with El Toro's lift?

I don't know, but it seems that a lot of El Toro's problems concern the lift. Although it is once of its signature features, and a great/exciting feature, could the lift be converted to a normal chain lift, if problems will always occur?

I really think it has nothing to do with the cable lift, but don't quote me on it.

The problem with the ride isn't the lift hill, they just feel the problem can be resolved by slowing the lift hill down to nothing.


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!

El Toro should be back online again shortly if not already.  Just be prepared for intermittent closures until all issues are officially resolved.

Toro is running amazing right now with two trains. The wait is about 25 minutes, the only thing is they slowed the cable lift down when it reaches the top of the lift.

El toro is still the same with the change of the lift.

I was talking to one of my family friends and he said that the lift on El Toro was slowed down at the top because the speed of the train was causing too much stress on the first drop. Does anyone know if this is true?
