El Torito
A herd of wild bulls is ready for an exciting rodeo. Will you take on the challenge? At El Torito you choose your favourite bull, take your seat and get ready for a crazy ride. Slagharen calls the ride intense.
The concept
El Torito is one of the oldest rides in Slagharen. It opened in 1973 as the Octopus: you sat in a tropical fish and were pushed back and forth by the arms of an enormous octopus. In 2015 the ride was given its Wild West theme. The fish became wild bulls and the octopus turned into a large rock wearing a cowboy hat.
The Experience
During the ride El Torito spins round and your bull joins in the wild adventure. You're flung from front to back and from left to right. Luckily you don't have to face this challenge alone: each bull has room for two people. Who can hold on best?

Choose your bull
Each bull has room for two cowboys or cowgirls. Ride together and hold on tight.
With supervision
Are you between 1.20 and 1.30 metres? Then you may ride with someone aged at least 14.
A bit of history
El Torito has been spinning since 1973, back then as the Octopus with tropical fish.
Visitor information
To ride on your own, you must be at least 1.30 metres tall. From 1.20 metres you may ride accompanied by someone aged at least 14. In certain weather conditions the ride may open later, close earlier or stay closed. Do you have a disability? Then pick up a yellow or purple access wristband at Guest Service. It lets you enter via a separate entrance; it does not give priority.
Rodeo in the Wild West
El Torito is a cheerful but robust ride. Fancy more spinning and swinging? Then also try the Tomahawk or The Pirate.
