^Toro is longer than T-Express? I would never have imagined...

Let's hope there soon will be more of the P'n'Ps. Can't wait for the polls then... but where could one be built?
 
That's interesting... just based loefet's graphs, it looks like Toro is actually the more forceful of the two, as in it seems to have more "stronger" air. T-express definitely has more air, especially in the back half, but it's not as strong.
 
Not ridden either, but El Toro.

Why? Because It's in a country I actually want to visit, it's not got a ridiculous name and it looks more insane.

After riding T-Express the other week, I can't believe that Toro could be better then it.

There must've been a few people on that trip that have now ridden both. What was their general opinion?
 
^ There was even people that have ridden all 4 of them now.

But I think that the main part of those that have ridden both were leaning more towards T-Express.

If you love the airtime of Toro, how could a very similar coaster that offers even more of it, over a longer run, not be the better coaster?

If someone offered you a billion dollars, but you would have to have your balls flattened by a sledgehammer, would you do it? Just because one part of a deal looks nice, doesn't mean the rest is good. I'll take the trade-off of less airtime in Toro for the excellent pacing that TE doesn't seem to have from the POV. Toro is fast and furious until it hits the ending brakes and I like that in a ride.
 
^From a crap pov that was made during testing when the mcbr was practically stopping the train.

Maybe if the POV is crap, you guys should find a new one? I've never been on the ride so it's all I know about it. :?
 
^^ I hardly think we can judge from one measurement. The T-Express graph was taken early in the morning, which would mean it was running at its slowest anyway.

Regardless of that, one measurement can't be taken as proof of anything.

Anyway, those kind of graphs are interesting, but have absolutely zero baring on ride experience. I suppose we'll have to wait for a few trip reports from people who've ridden both to get some balanced opinions.

^Name one coaster for which a pov does justice.
 
Don't go all out on those measurements, since they are in their raw state.
They should be normalized and rotated to "calibrate" the data.
