The verdict

El Toro sweeps every comparable stat. There is no line on the card where The Voyage is the better pick, so the only way this duel turns is on who calls the stat.

El Toro is a wooden Prefabricated Wooden Coaster (Plug & Play) coaster at Six Flags Great Adventure, US, built by Intamin. The Voyage is a wooden Wooden Terrain Coaster coaster at Holiday World, US, built by The Gravity Group.

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.

They are near-contemporaries — 2006 and 2006 — so they were competing for the same riders when they opened.

Stat by stat

  • Height goes to El Toro at 181 ft against 159 ft — clearly ahead.
  • Speed goes to El Toro at 70 mph against 67 mph — ahead by a whisker.

  • Throughput goes to El Toro at 1,500 rph against 1,200 rph — well clear.
  • Build Cost goes to El Toro at 28 $m against 8.5 $m — in another class entirely.
  • Both opened in 2006, which makes Vintage a dead heat.
