[Coaster Force 08.07.31]
Following a major lightning storm which rolled through Six Flags Great Adventure on Sunday, El Toro was closed on Monday with ride operators saying they were hoping for having the coaster operating later in the day.
El Toro never reopened.
CF's own Jerry (East Coast(er) General) decided to investigate the scene to see what exactly was the cause for El Toro's unusual downtime.
After getting in contact with a senior engineer at the park, Jerry reports that during the lightning storm, El Toro was struck at the very top of its lift hill at the top most sensor. This wild electric current then traveled down the entire lift hill, wiping out all of the electrical system.
“When you go up there you see smoldering cables & electronics that extends the length of the lift. It took out everything. It’s a real mess.”
The engineer continued to explain that they are now waiting for replacement components and are hoping for a Friday reopening, in time for Saturday's Rise & Scream ERT.
Given
the magnitude of the damage though, El Toro could be closed for longer,
as Rolling Thunder's staff has been put on notice for Saturday's Rise
& Scream ERT in the event El Toro cannot reopen.

이미 시간이 좀 지난 기사네요. 태풍의 영향으로 국내의 t-express와 비교되던 최고의 스릴을 자랑하는 우든코스터 el toro가 무기한 중단에 들어갔네요;
안타깝네요...........휴.......... 부디 복귀되길 바랍니다 :)
