El Toro, located at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey, asks its riders if they're ready to try and tame el toro, the bull.

This goliath of a wooden roller coaster looks at first glance like a classic old ride, but it was built with modern engineering technology, so it offers its passengers a smooth, fast, and exciting ride, much more so than an old wooden coaster.

With a drop of 176 feet at an angle of 76 degrees, El Toro has one of the steepest drops of any wooden roller coaster in the country, and after that terrifying free fall at speeds of 70 mph, passengers will experience a series of bucks, hills, and side-to-side movements that will make them understand exactly why the park compares this ride to being on the back of a rodeo bull.
