Nitro1118 Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 So those looks like a VERY different style of lap bars: http://www.gainsider.com/gallery/052906-etfirstdroplarge.JPG Actually remind me more of Schwarzkopf looping coaster lap bars, which might not be a bad thing! --Robb They are pretty much the newly remodified S:RoS trains, but without the middle bar between legs, and bulky belt. The actual bar is exactly like the T-bars.
HCOSurfer90 Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 They're U-Bars, probably like Goliath's at SFMM but not as big.
WadeJ Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 Here is a picture one of our members @ gadvupdates took last night. It sorta shows how the lapbar will sit and more importantly, it shows how those blinders are actually well below the shoulder - which I guess means that it isn't really a blinder
redunzelizer Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 So those looks like a VERY different style of lap bars: http://www.gainsider.com/gallery/052906-etfirstdroplarge.JPG Actually, in case you don't fit into these initially, you'll be dressed in a white plastic wrap and have to drink 80 litres of water. Then you'll get another chance to ride...

The actual bar is exactly like the T-bars. Those Safety Restraints looks like more to Goliath an Titan those Giovanolla Hyper than those Intamin T Bars but yeah the top of the bar looks like all classic intamin T Bar . I hope if that system work well they put all these bars onto all Intamin Hyper .
BMW FAN Posted June 5, 2006 Posted June 5, 2006 GAdvUpdates has a new video of El Toro testing. GAcoaster posted an update on AmusmentPics.com.
ECZenith Posted June 5, 2006 Posted June 5, 2006 Wow... the thing FLIES all the way up umtil the fourth drop! Very impressive speed, and will provide great air especially on that insane 1st camelback! Can't wait till later this month....
Rider117 Posted June 5, 2006 Posted June 5, 2006 If you want a good view of the twister section make sure to look on Kingda Ka's exit platform. It flies through it, can't wait till opening!
SFOGdude25 Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 I'm thinking, MAJOR EJECTOR !!!!! After seeing that vid, you just know.
MattJackson Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 ^Please don't mind me asking, but what exactly did they do to KK to "ruin" it?
Jon Sabo Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 I may have asked this question before (on another post/site), but isn't El Toro constructed similar to the ride they (Intamin) did in the Germany park (Colossus?)? Didn't it have pre-fabricated sections and so on? Intamin is the mfg. correct?
alpengeist04 Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 ^Yes, it's an Intamin coaster and has prefab sections.
MARK Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 Another video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdsK8CoYKSI Some more photos: http://www.gainsider.com/scripts/pictures/view_album.php?albumID=383 It rockets over those hills.
GAcoaster Posted June 6, 2006 Author Posted June 6, 2006 When you stand next to it and hear those upstop wheels hit the rails you KNOW this will have crazy air-time!!!
Billy Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 im startin to get freaked out by the speed this thing has. I havent seen a wood coaster coast over a hill that fast yet. you almost brace yourself just watching it.
ECZenith Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 ^ ::completely agrees:: And just think of how smoooooth this coaster is going to be... It'll be interesting to see if Boulder Dash stays as my #1 or slides down to #2 after riding this crazy thing!
CD Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 All I have to say is... Back Seat... Will be ... AMAZING!!!!!
alpengeist04 Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 I know everyone has been going crazy over The Voyage, Goliath, and Tatsu, but this is the coaster I've been waiting for in 2006.
gunslinger Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 Holy Dammit Christmas. That looks absolutely incredible. Well worth the cross-country trip to NJ/Hell.
cprocks22 Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 ^ Your going to Hell MI? Thats like an hour from my house . But ya this ride looks awsome, well worth the 6 hour drive to get there for me.
Vekoma Fan Boy Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 HOLY SHIZNIZZLE-ITS! When you have a 30,000 riding it upstops you know that will be EJECTOR AIR. But on El Toro it looks like there will be SUSTAINED EJECTOR AIR. And El Tor will be the first i know of to have SUSTAINED EJECTOR AIR. EDIT: Do you think that is the lift getting stuck or they are purposely stopping it.
