El Toro

Because of its 181-foot-tall lift hill, El Toro is still the third tallest wood coaster in the world.  When it opened, it was the second tallest behind Son of Beast at Kings Island, but that coaster was demolished in 2009.   With the 2008 addition of T Express at Everland in South Korea and the 2016 construction of Wildfire at the Kolmården Wildlife Park in Sweden, those rides are now tied for first place with a four-foot height advantage over this ride.  Like El Toro, T Express is an Intamin coaster with Prefabricated Track.
