The verdict
El Toro shades it 3–2. Close enough that calling the wrong stat hands the round over.
El Toro is a wooden Prefabricated Wooden Coaster (Plug & Play) coaster at Six Flags Great Adventure, US, built by Intamin. Tonnerre 2 Zeus is a wooden Wooden out-and-back (Gravity Group retrack 2019-2022, Timberliner trains) coaster at Parc Asterix, FR, built by Custom Coasters International.
Both are wooden-track, so nothing here is the usual steel-versus-wood argument in disguise.
