The feeling from riding of El toro. The cars are being dragged upward climbing to the top of the coaster with the sound of people screaming and waiting with excitement to be dropped down. During the climbing period, the riders can see the view of Great Adventure from the high as it climbs higher. The speed of the climbing is quite fast and the rider can now sense that it’s going to go down fast. Once reached the top, there’s no sign that it will fall in any moment and it actually dive down real fast and up again on the second tide shape and down like this for 3 times. The third dive will go through the wooden cave that and crawl rapidly to the corner and shrap curved rail. The speed doesn’t seem to be dropped it feels that the coaster is still increasing the speed even though there’s no more drop. Curve after curve, the riders will get to feel that the speed is now stable and getting used to the sharp curve. Until the end, the cars are starting to slow down and going back to the coaster station. The 3 minutes of heart attack was fun and thrill.
