^Yep, it's a good camera. A bit on the big side, but good.

Awww, that must've been fun. Free El Toro t-shirts!

Who was that in the front row? "Oh woah! This has alot of airtime!" ROFL.

That was me,

That was my first front row ride (actually second row) and it was that good.

My 1st El Toro ride will be planned later today 6-13-06. After reading all the EL Toro reviews I will make sure to beat everyone to the ride later. I lost 58lbs over the last 5 months and yes I've been running. 8pm last evening I ran 3 miles at a 7min 30sec per mile pace without breaking a sweat. It seems everyone rode it but me

The only regret right now is that i do not have my voice. Media day was awesome awesome awesome. El Toro is amazing in every aspect. Only wish i could ahve gotten that night ride the ride closed down early this evening. Hope it was nothing serious because this ride is one that surely will mark the top of anyone's top tenand i look forward to riding it again thursday. This time it truly will be a good running of the bulls to be the first on the ride.

Thanks Stew! Thanks again for joining us

I would just like to say, THANKS WADE! I don't think any of us really realize what Wade went through to help organize everything. He did an awesome job and I am greatful to him because he had ALOT handedd to him and, a very short amount of time to execute it. I would also like to Thank everyone who attended. It was also short notice for alot of you but, things worked out very well and, EVERYONE did an awesome job helping the park Hype El Torro. It's been an incredible off and, ON season for us so far and, we hope for our affiliates ( some members and mods To!) to.The Biggest thanks of course to The Divas in PR, The construction managers Rich and, Al for taking some time to meet with us during tours to answer our questions, the workers who helped build ET and, even though I didn't get to meet him, Ron Sevart! Oh, and let us NOT forget Keenan! Keenan, YOU ROCK! Now go out to visit him and, enjoy the masterpiece in PDC as much as possible!

I have my Media Day Pictures, Videos and Ride Reviews posted to my website....See them HERE

Wade....It was great to finally meet you. Always nice to put a face with a name

PcMan · « **Reply #38 on:** June 13, 2006, 11:16:02 AM »

Flyinphil this is a Great Overall layout / review of the Coasters progression and of the Media day events in Pictures,video and Text you got it all covered and wrapped up in a nice easy to read and see total package.
THis is the best yet great work. As with all, Nice to put the face with the name and to meet up with someone that kept us updated throughout the winter off season months.
If anyone ask me what EL TOro is I would point them to your page.

DianaR · « **Reply #39 on:** June 13, 2006, 11:20:52 AM »

Nice Job Phil! Did you see your pic on the front Page of The Asbury Park Press?? Very cool!

Cyclonic · « **Reply #40 on:** June 13, 2006, 12:05:16 PM »

WOW Stew, great job on getting those clips together!

Bubba Z · « **Reply #41 on:** June 13, 2006, 12:58:07 PM »

OK, well I had a little time to reflect on things that happened to me yesterday.

First off, yesterday would have never happened for me if it weren't for Wade and Diana inviting me to the first tour of El Toro in December! Followed by three more amazing tours to make my winter seem to fly by. I didn't make all those tours, but to be invited back to Media day and ride with the people who I've meet along the way was an honor.

It was also great meeting new people, seeing old friends and finally putting those screen names to use. I would also like to personally thank Stew for giving up his spot on the first train so I could ride, Keenan for the humor and the rest of the Great staff at Great Adventure, YOU know who you are

Thanks to all those who brought cameras as well, great stuff on this site as well as our affiliates.

Thanks a lot Stew for the clips. Thank you Wade and Diana for bring us all along with your guys and the hard work that you put into making Media Day possible.

GAcoaster · « **Reply #43 on:** June 13, 2006, 02:35:54 PM »

Media Day was great, and it was really nice getting to meet everyone in person!

Wade, you must be exhausted from making all of this come together...you must feel like you've been herding bulls for the past few days!

FlyinPhil · « **Reply #44 on:** June 13, 2006, 03:54:45 PM »

Thanks so much, PCMAN....And great to finally meet you as well

Also, rjholla2003....Were YOU there at media day yesterday? If so, sorry I missed meeting you !

And DianaR, thanks for the heads up on the Asbury Park Press. I just called my Dad (lives in Jackson) and asked him to pick me up a copy or two if any are still left.

Yesterday simply ROCKED !!! I don't know when I had so much fun at Great Adventure.....ACE members are definitely a COOL bunch of coaster maniacs (and I mean that in a GOOD way)

...yeah guys, keep rubbing it in

I will be riding next Tuesday, unless something comes up, which would mean me riding it this weekend. I am dying to ride it, but going on Tuesday will mean far less lines, and hopefully 2 trains by then.
