El Toro Questions

[Millennium Force 44]

I have two quick questions about El Toro;

1. Are any of El Toro's banks/turns 90 degrees?

2. Does Millennium Force or El Toro have a faster lift hill?

If anyone has answers or guesses to these questions, let me know. Thanks.

The El Toro lift is 10% faster than MF's lift. Or so says Clint Novak...

El Toro's lift is 12-15% faster than MF's.  I can't remember the exact number that Mr. Sandor Kernacks said during the B-Roll shoot.

I don't think that any of El Toro's turns actually hit 90 degrees, but it does get pretty damn close.

Voyage and Hades are the only wooden coasters with 90 degree banks.

I think Toro has one turn at 87 degrees or something close to that but not quite 90.

Clint Novak is part of the coaster crew which  has a podcast called "In the loop" . They broadcasts from several different parks a year during media events. In fact he was at the El Toro Media day set up in front of the queue. Next time you're at a park anywhere  look for a guy in a  referee shirt and a propeller hat and that's him.
