All we need now is a opening date to cap off this great day, but I'm sure that won't come for a little while longer.

Wow what a great way to top off the weekend . We haven't been to the park in a few weeks we have been very busy here but can't wait till 6/3 to visit and either hopefully see it test or actually get a ride in but that may be very wishful thinking .

From KingdakaRoxmysox - here is a photo from around 7PM tonight
(thanks!)
Up the lift
Around to the first drop
Check out the restraint position and the blinders that don't really blind you

I was there this evening and saw El Toro do it's thing at about 6:30 PM.
Very very slow up the lift and the stopped at the top for a while while workers checked things out.
It sounds like they are starting to run it a little more frequently!!
Edit: Opps...My wife just told me it was closer to 7:00 PM when we were there. So it probably only ran twice on the 31st, no 6:30 run. Sorry, My brain was still a little shaken from Kingda Ka. And when you are in the park who really cares what time it is.

Yes, I agree. You saw it around 6:30 and then these pictures were taken a little after 7 and then Chuck was in line for Ka (go figure) after park closing around 8:10 and saw it again so this would seem to be good news!

I saw it test last night twice. The thing makes the same noise as the Collossos does when it goes over its hill(if you don't know what I am talking about go to ThemeParkReview and download that video of it). The thing flies through its course and I saw it go through the twister section from Ka's exit ramp, AWESOME!

Toro is already flying! Considering that it is going to get faster and faster as time goes on, I'm getting ready for some major ejector air
