The El Toro "Y" is a freeway interchange in southern Orange County, California where the Santa Ana Freeway, Interstate 5 (I-5), and the San Diego Freeway, the I-405 merge.
 South of that point, it retains the name "San Diego Freeway" but with the highway designation "I-5."
 Located in south Orange County where the cities of Lake Forest, Laguna Hills, and Irvine converge, the interchange was named after the city (El Toro - now Lake Forest) and the now closed Marine Corps Air Station El Toro, located northeast of the interchange.
G Force is a roller coaster at Drayton Manor Theme Park, Tamworth, England.
 It is the only "X-Car" coaster in the UK and was opened by the band "G4" in 2005.
 The ride is also the third X-Car coaster to be built in the world, the first being the prototype "Sky Wheel" at Skyline Park in Germany and the second being X Coaster at Magic Springs.
 Another unique aspect of the X-Car coaster is the inverted lift, called the "Humpty Bump Lift".
 Unlike a conventional inclined lift, the lift on is similar to a standard vertical loop.
 At the top of the lift, riders are suspended upside down and the train is released to traverse two more inversions, including an immelman loop and a "Bent Cuban Eight".
 The ride was originally called "Project X" but changed to "G Force" before it opened.
El Toro, a Spanish term meaning The Bull, is a wooden roller coaster at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey.
 Designed by Intamin of Switzerland, it opened to the public on June 11, 2006.
 Intamin also worked with members of Rocky Mountain Construction to build the ride.
 When it opened, it had the steepest drop of any wooden roller coaster in the world at 76 degrees, until the record was broken by T Express in 2008 by one degree.
 Overall, its structure height of 181 ft is ranked fourth, its drop height of 176 ft is ranked second, and its top speed of 70 mph is ranked fourth among all wooden roller coasters in the world.
 It was also the first wooden roller coaster to use a cable lift as opposed to the traditional chain lift.
The convective temperature (CT or T) is the approximate temperature that air near the surface must reach for cloud formation without mechanical lift.
 In such case, cloud base begins at the convective condensation level (CCL), whilst with mechanical lifting, condensation begins at the lifted condensation level (LCL).
 Convective temperature is important to forecasting thunderstorm development.
El Toro (translation: "the bull") is a neighborhood in the municipality of Calvià on the island of Majorca, part of the Spanish autonomous community of the Balearic Islands.
 It is located in an area known as Ses Penyes Rotges.
 El Toro is adjacent to the Santa Ponsa Golf II, to the north, the urbanized Nova Santa Ponsa on the west, the Son Ferrer to the east.
 Paseo Calviá, a promenade of the municipality, passes through El Toro.
 El Toro is a seaside community, next to a cliff.
 Many of the houses are built to the edge of the cliff.
 It has a harbor, Port Adriano, and a hotel.
 The main beach is Racó de sa Fragata.
 There are also two smaller beaches, one of which is only accessible by boat or by swimming.
 The population is approximately 2,321 inhabitants.
El Toro Loco ("The Crazy Bull") is a monster truck currently racing in the Advance Auto Parts MONSTER JAM professional monster truck racing series.
 It is currently driven by Marc McDonald, Chuck Werner, Becky McDonough, and Mark List, and was originally driven by Lupe Soza, who returned in 2014 to "grab the bull by the horns."
 Other drivers of the snortin' bull have included Dan Rodoni, Aaron Basl, Ryan Huffaker, Joey Parnell, Chris Baker, and Nathan Weenk.
 It features one of the first 3-D body shells, with horns sticking out of the roof.
 This body was originally designed for Bulldozer, and was found a second use for El Toro Loco.
 As El Toro Loco has increased in popularity, it has become the primary truck for the body style.
The Fairport Lift Bridge is a through-truss mechanical lift bridge that carries NY Route 250 (Main Street) over the Erie Canal in downtown Fairport, New York, United States.
 It was constructed in 1913-1914 by the Lackawanna Bridge Company of Buffalo, New York and contracted by H.S. Kerbaugh, Inc. of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, replacing an 80 ft (24 m) fixed bridge built in 1886 which was removed when the Erie Canal was widened.
 The Fairport Lift Bridge officially opened to automobile traffic on August 15, 1914.
 Originally having a wooden deck made of yellow pine, the bridge floor was replaced with steel grating in later years.
 It is one of sixteen vertical lift bridges located along the western portion of the Erie Canal between Fairport and Lockport.
El Toro Wilderness (Spanish: Selva El Toro ) is a 10000 acre National Wilderness Preservation System unit located partly within El Yunque National Forest (formerly the Caribbean National Forest) on the island of Puerto Rico.
 El Toro, named after the highest peak in the forest at 3524 ft , is the only tropical wilderness in the United States National Forest System.
A lift hill, or chain hill, is an upward-sloping section of track on a roller coaster on which the roller coaster train is mechanically lifted to an elevated point or peak in the track.
 Upon reaching the peak, the train is then propelled from the peak by gravity and is usually allowed to coast throughout the rest of the roller coaster ride's circuit on its own momentum, including most or all of the remaining uphill sections.
 The initial upward-sloping section of a roller coaster track is usually a lift hill, as the train typically begins a ride with little speed, though some coasters have raised stations that permit an initial drop without a lift hill.
 Although uncommon, some tracks also contain multiple lift hills.
Millennium Force is a steel roller coaster built by Intamin at Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio, United States.
 It was the fourteenth roller coaster to be built at the park since Blue Streak opened in 1964.
 Upon completion in 2000, Millennium Force broke six world records and was the world's first Giga Coaster, a roller coaster that exceeds 300 ft in height and completes a full circuit.
 It was briefly the tallest and fastest in the world until Steel Dragon 2000 opened later the same year.
 The ride is also the third-longest roller coaster in North America after The Beast at Kings Island and Fury 325 at Carowinds.
 It was the first roller coaster to use a cable lift system rather than a traditional chain lift.
 The coaster has a 310 ft , 45-degree lift hill with a 300 ft drop and features two tunnels, three overbanked turns, and four hills.
 It has a top speed of 93 mph .
