2 rides on it, one mid train but slightly on the back end, 2nd ride backrow, backrow definetly felt more intense, the first drop is crazy closest ive come to a free fall feeling ive had on a coaster

Is an awesome first drop
@aestusmaris 3 күн бұрын
Rode Hyperia twice today (first times) later in the day in the middle and the back row and the latter ride was so good and both my rides were buttery smooth so maybe I was lucky on what train I got. I ride coasters very often so am somewhat acclimatised to the g forces but the first drop was immense and that outer bank reminded of a gyro swing where you're falling at a weird angle. I loved it. It's not an intense coaster by any means though which I think makes it an excellent coaster to challenge those who have not ridden many. And it's clearly the best in the park. Wish it was twice as long.

THE SAUSAGE ROLL 😂 You've earned yourself a subscriber with this in depth review. I'd love a more fittingly elegant name for Hyperia's unique element like the Golden Roll but knowing British people I think Sausage Roll is more likely to catch on 😂

it shouldn't be impossible just keep the outerbank put and s hill to change directions add some bunny hills and maybe a trick track double up banked turn or outerbank snap like velocicoaster but more sustained to go back down and change directions have a blue fire roll close to the ground and then an airtime hill back into the brakes, it would lessen capacity but would improve the ride so much

WOW this is the review i was waiting for David! Someone you can trust coming from a lot of experience... all your points are extremely spot on i think. also good news that the main drop doesn't disappoint - how does it compare to say Iron gwazi or Skyrush.... also think the Big Dipper style wing seats would have been better, its more a giant big dipper than hyper coaster. edit - we should not have expected Thorpe to build a long ride should we.

In the back, I'd say the drop beats gwazi and skyrush! Big dipper seating could be interesting, but it would loose the heartlining for the outer seats in elements like the sausage roll.

I'm great with calling that the Sausage roll. If Greggs sponsored the ride would anyone really mind? The ride & element would be advertised in common shops all over the country. The queue snack kiosk could have a better selection and they could add a bit more landscaping with the extra cash. Need some more bins in the queue line too.

Excellent review, which I agree with. It's a fantastic ride but I don't rank it as high as Fury 325, Steel Vengeance etc as it has such a comedown at the end. It could have been one of the world's best coasters... if there was a second half full of airtime hills.

I know it's short but that first drop and outer bank put it in my top 10. I just need to find a day when it's quiet and it's included on unlimited fast track ha (one day). Also I'm pretty sure the first drop is a little over 90 degrees, looking at it... which is why you come out of your seat so much!

@@RollercoasterDavid I know... but to me it really looks like it could be just that bit over. When you look at where the drop starts and where it ends, and take the roll into account I think it's moved that little bit. The drop looks kinda weird for that reason. I think anyway. And if you wanted to ensure airtime on a coaster... make the drop just that bit over 90. Maybe its 90.4 degrees =P

Great video as always! I got the chance to ride this a few days ago and it was definitely more intense than I was expecting, obviously not as intense as a 90s B&M invert, but still fairly intense. For an inverted coaster the airtime is impressive and the trains are some of the most comfortable I have ever ridden on, I hope Vekoma do more thrill coasters without the vest restraints. Can't say I enjoyed waiting 75 minutes for it though 😅

@RollercoasterDavid Sadly just one train at the time of queueing. The park also seems to oversell its fastpasses as the queue was bearly moving for 20 minutes with trains still cycling. Fortunately they did put on a second train by 3pm, so with the school trips also now gone it became a 10 minute queue, so I did manage to get a few rides in.

I loved Steel Dragon 2000. I was in the last row and I screamed out loud as I was pulled over that first hill. It felt like someone ripped a tig from underneath my feet. I had seen a POV earlier (first row) and I stupidly expected to crawl over that hill. The ride conserve so much energy by not adding any turns until after the third hill. That's why it can take those other two massive hills and keep that amazing speed.
