The verdict
El Toro sweeps every comparable stat. There is no line on the card where Troy 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. Troy is a wooden GCI Wooden Twister coaster at Toverland, NL, built by Great Coasters International.
Both are wooden-track, so nothing here is the usual steel-versus-wood argument in disguise.
They are near-contemporaries — 2006 and 2007 — so they were competing for the same riders when they opened.
