At least five people were injured on the El Toro ride at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey on Thursday night, according to local police and parks officials.

Several parkgoers complained of back pain after riding the roller coaster around 7:30 p.m. and five of them were taken to a local hospital, a Six Flags spokesperson told The Post.

A woman who said she was on the El Toro Thursday night wrote on Facebook that “it felt like [the roller coaster] hit a pothole” after the third drop.

El Toro is one of the fastest and tallest wooden roller coasters in the world, reaching speeds of 70 miles per hour with an initial drop of 176 feet, according to the park’s website.

I do wonder if they were “people of [significant] size,” acting out (not seated properly), and people on c o l o r.

I actually read the article. Shocker I know here on FR.

The comments point to a certain clientele and their propensity for bad and ‘you owe me’ behaviors..

Aren’t wooden coasters just rough anyway? I’ve had bruises from riding them at Kings Island.

But what are you trying to say? It still makes no sense.

“El Toro is one of the fastest and tallest wooden roller coasters…”

I believe I’ve sussed out the problem here…

The commenters are racist assholes.

Those types infest the comments sections of many websites always trying to poison the well of public discourse, fomenting hate and undermining conservatism.
