I really hope it doesn’t affect their working relationship with Mack.

Thorpe Park have confirmed they can’t commit to reopening Hyperia until 8th June.

Colossus had new sensors fitted to the air gates in 2017, and it became even more sensitive to the slightest of movements. @Matt N beat me to it, but i’ve seen quite a lot of engineers working on it at both the top and bottom of the lifthill. Hopefully it will be back open on Monday for my...

I feel like this should really go into the WTF Merlin thread instead of the Hyperia thread, but on park today, and briefly yesterday, I held fire from riding Hyperia yesterday, as did want to ride it for the first time with my Dad. Guest services despite the announcement still being closed...

It wouldn’t be a new Merlin attraction without a shipping container.

Although this could be a mistake on the website, apparently Hyperia can run upto the max gusts of 47mph, which honestly if this is correct, would be a huge benefit for Thorpe, as currently out of the thrill coasters only Nemesis Inferno and Saw The Ride can run upto 40mph. . Source...

Saw, Samurai and Walking Dead are currently the only three that have a single rider line. Hyperia is meant to open with one though.

Considering it’s only been testing since Tuesday, it already looks like the outer bank has picked up quite a lot of speed compared to its initial runs. As much as it is short for a hyper, it is still the parks longest coaster and does from the off ride look it, especially right next to Saw, I...

Have added the date into my calendar, but will confirm closer to the time :)

It may be a little to early to say this, but it looks slow 🤣 . I really like these trains, even more outside and not over saturated.

That train looks really cool! I’m pleased it was atleast a custom front car!

Quick one, are you happy for us to post our ride count breakdown in a spoiler, incase anyone does want to record it, so long as we follow the main template?

As much as I’m very excited to know a date, and it makes a lot of sense as it’s just prior to the May Half Term holidays and the main school trip season. I just really hope it is not in vein, especially seeing that there is only 57 days left till the 24th May, I just fear it is too optimistic...

Hyperia’s wings have been added to the front of the station! In the flesh it really is a monster.
