  • Thorpe Park OPENED HYPERIA on the 24th of May, for one day... but this ride has been known to be a fast paced, airtime machine. Is that true? Today i discuss my honest opinion on the coaster, with its layout, smoothness, airtime moments and even the theming and landscaping.. join me as i go through my honest review of Hyperia, the UK's tallest and fastest rollercoaster.

    It was great to meet you on opening day, and thank you for having a photo with my son he is a mega fan @typicalcofficial , We had 2 rides on Hyperia, both in row 2, 1 ride was very much OMG what just happened, second ride again was OMG what just happened but with a bit more clarity, I would agree with you overall, other than expanding that the trim breaks on the splash down make sense to give you the feeling as you splash down just like on tidal wave, however the water jets timing is too delayed and would be good if you had a little spray land on you to give that feeling of just going into water, I would probably back off the trim break a little, this ride is just incredible and is both our UK number 1 Coaster, with no doubt, for us followed by Nemesis Reborn and then the Smiler. Hyperia is plain and simply just Epic, we are soo lucky to have this ride in the uk and within an hour from where we live.

    Great review!! 🙂 You're right about the surrounding area looking like a cesspit, but honestly I was having so much fun I barely even noticed 🤣 it's a cracking coaster! I think with time they'll give the scenery a bit of TLC, and it'll look much better.

    • @DigitalDan

  • @MattChapman-zs8pb
    @MattChapman-zs8pb Před 24 dny

    Our family waited an eye watering 6.5h on opening day to ride. In my honest opinion the chain lift is very noisy and it needs more theming in the line. The ride itself was amazing. The seating was very comfortable and the airtime was one of the best I’ve experienced. I can’t wait to ride again. Best part of opening day was meeting you though!

    Me and my friend literally went a week before I opened and we suddenly bummed we couldn't go on there obviously I've not experienced hyperia myself but I would probably agree with you I hope we get to go on there some day also love your videos ❤

  • @dill.keegs11
    @dill.keegs11 Před 24 dny +1

    I think they should have left the opening longer. As much as everyone wanted to ride as soon as possible they should've left more time for more interesting theming and a better station building. The landscaping doesn't bother me that much but the lack of theming does

  • @frank-daisy-olly-chole-minnie

  • @willkie4140

    @Vote.ReformUK Před 22 dny +1

    My problem with the new coasters in the UK is they do not dream big any more, they're all just baby versions of what other countries have. I miss the days of Nemesis, Oblivion and Air pushing things forward... Even The Smiler was a coaster people came from over the world to ride.

    • @Deccyweccy8

  • @JamesBloomfield93
    @JamesBloomfield93 Před 25 dny +2

    Agree that the theming is a huge letdown, especially when it’s in the same park as rides like Swarm and Saw. It feels unfinished.

    • @user-wx6ms9rv2m
      @user-wx6ms9rv2m Před 25 dny +1

      That's because it is unfinished...

    • @nemesis8626
      @nemesis8626 Před 25 dny

      You say that but Swarm and Saw are literally the only 2 rides with good theming, Thorpe park has the worst theming of any Merlin park, there rides have a little the park as a whole basically doesn't

  • @Elliot-js9vd

  • @robhaley5136
    @robhaley5136 Před 23 dny

    Oh I just realised! Well, I kind of saw it before but a light bulb moment when you said - look at that first drop. It isn't just a big Sky Rocket II drop people... it's MORE THAN VERTICAL, at the same time as twisting 180 degrees. Oh John Burton (not Wardley - maybe Merlin in UK have a pre-requisite for designing their rides - you must be called John!) - but yeah you knocked it out the park.
    Of COURSE you're out of the seat the entire drop, it's just physics. He really thought about maximising this airtime eh. Hats off.
    Just take a look at a side on pic of Hyperia's drop people...

    @readgeoff Před 3 dny

    Great ride. From the back that first drop is super intense. The outerbank turn is weird because with the inversion it feels like its turning left but we know it's actually a right handed turn.
    The splashdown you cant see any water when on the ride - they need it to splash earlier (and get you wet).
    The music in the queue line is too loud (I may just be old). A 2 hour queue with that music and base blaring away is just too much. Turn it down please Thorpe Park.
