The verdict
El Toro takes it 4–1, and the 1 Jack Rabbit does win is the whole of its case.
El Toro is a wooden Prefabricated Wooden Coaster (Plug & Play) coaster at Six Flags Great Adventure, US, built by Intamin. Jack Rabbit is a wooden Terrain out-and-back with double-down coaster at Kennywood, US, built by John A. Miller & Harry C. Baker.
Both are in US, which puts them in the same conversation for anyone planning a trip there.
Both are wooden-track, so nothing here is the usual steel-versus-wood argument in disguise.
