The first official multi-angle off ride POV from the park. Also featuring pieces to camera from John Burton and another representative from Merlin Magic Making.

Hyperia is a predominantly stylistic coaster, as has been evident since the planning application was submitted. At no point has there been any indication that the ride will feature immersive theming.

It's not going to be enclosed.

There is only one confirmed trim at this moment, and that is the simulated splashdown. As is standard practice with a lot of Mack's coasters, brackets have been installed for trims before the outward banked turn/twist in case the train over-speeds, should that happen, only then will a trim will...

Having seen the gold in the sun, it does actually look very nice, but the lack of a proper fade is very jarring, gives a lot of others I know OCD.

The park explained on their annual passholders group that there was a clear creative decision behind the colour change, stating that it looked more 'dynamic' than a typical fade like what Stealth has. This was a Merlin Magic Making level creative decision.

It's followed by the outward banked death twist, then the stall/dive loop, before hitting the splashdown and final two airtime moments.

Screenshotted from Thorpe's TikTok story...some fantastic progress has been made! Bottom of first drop has been installed, as well as the airtime moment out of the non-inverting immelmann!

Two very different coaster experiences, designed to do very different things. We all know and love Nemesis, it's in many enthusiasts' top 10. I'm sure that we'll all love Hyperia also, but for very different reasons. I can see them both complimenting people's top 20's if we have to choose a...

Over-zealous HSE, or the manufacturer, they do order changes to the ride manuals from time to time.

Good thing that's the parody account 😜

Detailing is now being applied to the station building. It definitely seems inspired by Icon, but judging by the cladded metal and details of natural wood and metal mesh, it'll certainly be a whole lot more vibrant looking than Icon's station.

It was reported a while ago that numerous Disneyland Paris executives, including their operations director, were recruited by PortAventura. My thinking is that they were recruited by Universal and that the buyout has always been on the table. A Universal resort in the Mediterranean, and another...
