Everyone cant wait to experience the new Mack Hyper Coaster Hyperia at Thorpe park, but that wont be the first 200ft+ roller coaster mack has designed, Instead that distinction goes to the "Flash" layout, which first appeared on a roller coaster in China, before it was copied and built at Land of Legends park near Antalya in Turkey.
I have been desperate to experience a Mack Rides Hyper Coaster for a long time so I made my way to Turkey to ride it!
Is it any good though? and how did it effect my expectations for Hyperia at Thorpe Park - Watch this video to find out!
Apologies if the audio or video isn't quite as well polished as usual - I've made this video whilst on the road heading to Europa park to ride Voltron, and cheap hotel rooms don't make for the best recording studios!! Also my laptop is far from being the ultimate video editing machine, and is significantly under powered compared to my desktop at home!.
Either way, I hope everyone enjoys this video, and we all cant wait to ride Hyperia.

Best ride summary on this ride out there = " a ride record at the least cost " = this sums up the ride and sums up Merlin in a nut-shell.

It's a real shame when you consider how much money they wasted on the ghost train

I love mismatched theming on roller coasters. You're absolutely right, it reminds me of the theming mechanics in Roller Coaster Tycoon, and how my friends and I used to have competitive matches to see if you could build a park from scratch, and cover every single solitary square with something, except pathways that don't connect to anything weren't allowed. It got pretty insane, and it just reminds me of the "good old days."

Another great video! I've long wondered about Hyper Coaster in Turkey. Thanks for bringing the word!

@RollercoasterDavid Ай бұрын

It was definitely worth the trip!

@JoeBrown1 Ай бұрын

Great to hear your thoughts! I went here in march 2022 as hyperia research and the ride was shut all week for maintainace - was nowhere on the website where you could find out when it was closed / open!

@RollercoasterDavid Ай бұрын

They do seem to indicate current ride closures on the website now, but there's no way to tell how long they'll be closed for or if any future closures are planned

Great video Doc, a very fair analysis. I share your concerns over Hyperia's track length but, I guess we'll see.

@ibeg1951 Ай бұрын

Best analyses I trust you the most of all youtubers

Thanks!

Adding standard inversions like this loop and 0G to a hyper coaster always looked a bit odd and indecisive to me. Great to know they work well as a complete package. Fingers crossed for Hyperia.

@RollercoasterDavid Ай бұрын

I love airtime as much as the next person, but there's nothing wrong with a giant loop de loop!

I'm visiting turkey at the start of June and get unlimited access to the land of legends, can't wait to ride this!

A trip to Istanbul is worth it for the two Intamin blitzes if you can work it in to your holiday.

@Paolo8772 Ай бұрын

While Hyperia is taller and has a better drop, Hyper coaster looks to have a longer and more varied layout with more airtime.

@RollercoasterDavid Ай бұрын

It's definitely a more traditional layout, whereas hyperia is trying some new things

@Paolo8772 Ай бұрын

@@RollercoasterDavid And it's longer than the Mach launch coaster in China too, which is the only other Mach coaster with a DROP (not to be confused w height) over 200'. But you will know which one is better when Hyperia opens: Hyperia or Hyper coaster in Turkey. You'll have ridden both.

@NathanHydra Ай бұрын

That first drop on hyper is obviously far more powerful than on hyper coaster, just look at the angle of descent

@TheKnexMaker Ай бұрын

keep in mind hyperia's first drop is 90 straight down, hyper coaster is more like 75-80. there will be a lot more air time on the drop. its short in track leangth but I think what we have will still be very good.

@RollercoasterDavid Ай бұрын

We'll all find out soon enough!

@StamfordBridge Ай бұрын

Yeah, though there are first drops with twists that are great (Expedition GeForce or Cornball Express, for example), I definitely prefer the airtime you get with a straight first drop.

@RollercoasterDavid Ай бұрын

Twisting 90 degrees or so is fine, it's just when you go 180 all forward momentum cancels out the airtime!

@Trim_Brakes_06 Ай бұрын

I think the drop on Hyperia will feel much different than the one on Hyper Coaster. The main problem with Hyper Coaster's drop is that the twist is profiled more like a downwards banked turn, which leads to it not having airtime. Hyperia's twist looks more like a downwards mosasourous roll, which supposedly has ejector airtime. We won't know exactly what it will feel like until people ride it, but just from the profiling alone the airtime will almost certainly be better.

@RollercoasterDavid Ай бұрын

Here's hoping

@huspy8168 Ай бұрын

Hyperia should have some pretty good airtime going down the drop, it's profiled sort of like the mosasaurus roll but vertical. The back row might even reach close to -2 g's as mack seems to like to hit that number when building coasters as of late (see ride to happiness). What I truly wonder is how the shortness will affect the coaster, as honestly it's looking like it's going to be 3 amazing moments then the ride fizzles out after the dive stall. Hopefully I'm wrong, but I personally prefer long well paced coasters rather than short throw everything they got at you in a few elements coasters.

@RollercoasterDavid Ай бұрын

I'm still hoping they build the second half of it next off season?

@marty_nz Ай бұрын

Mack Produkt. Looks like a worthwhile coaster, but it's no Magnum.

@RollercoasterDavid Ай бұрын

Needs more Doritos

@mitzy123 Ай бұрын

I'd rather a shorter intense ride packed full of strong elements than a long ride with winding filler sections. Also hyperia is more than 1 foot taller than the big one. The big one's height is 213ft whereas hyperia is 236ft

@RollercoasterDavid Ай бұрын

Yup, I covered that in my review of the big one, hence why I said one foot taller than it's claimed height rather than it's actual height

@StamfordBridge Ай бұрын

Enjoyed the video, as always. But careful with the lack of unbridled hype over Hyperia as your UK passport may be revoked. 🤔 (But that’s exciting that you’ll be there on opening day!)

@RollercoasterDavid Ай бұрын

If anything I think it's more British to keep our expectations low - stiff upper lip and all that!

@StamfordBridge Ай бұрын

@@RollercoasterDavid Heh heh. Very true. That said, it’s my very long-time, outsider’s experience with British enthusiasts’ opinions of British coasters that they tend to fall only into extremes: hyping them up beyond what’s merited, or trashing them beyond what’s merited. A measured sense of where British coasters fall on the global scale always seemed intriguingly scarce. That said, everyone everywhere is excited this year for Hyperia.

@emperormiester Ай бұрын

@@StamfordBridge dead right - UK thoosies are very " thirsty"

@badmoonrising7795 Ай бұрын

I’m looking forward to hyperia but I do feel it’s being overhyped, the length seems to be the biggest issue, also the lack of thematic elements is a disappointment. The whole project seems to be not very well thought out imo. I’m also heading out to ride hyperia at the end of July too so should be a good year for mack creds

@RollercoasterDavid Ай бұрын

Also "find your fearless" is one of the dumbest slogans

@ToliiRH Ай бұрын

I think i disagree about Hyperias drop, you can really see the difference in profiling between the two, the reason you don't get much airtime on hypercoaster is because the positives start pretty much instantly after the crest. With hyperia, the pullout doesnt start till well later.

@RollercoasterDavid Ай бұрын

I hope you're right, the other issue is the forwards momentum you get going over the top might still reduce the air as you change direction.

@StamfordBridge Ай бұрын

0:49 Did you mean to say Hyperia here?

@StamfordBridge Ай бұрын

Oh, I see - there’s a small on-screen correction.

@RollercoasterDavid Ай бұрын

Yeah, I only realised after the audio had been processed and it was easier at that point to just put something on screen instead.
