So apparently Nemesis has only been on one train today, and they’ve only been using rows 1 to 4 on it, I dread to think just how slow that queue line would be moving today.

Sorry for the double post, but the construction team have begun installing the lifthill chain.

I think Thorpe Park would like a word, Stealth has 0-80 in 1.8 seconds, whereas Maxx Force is 0-78 in 1.8 seconds… So Stealth is now the record holder 👀, until one of the S&S coasters claims it. It is a shame to see Do-Dodonpa close though.

Hyperia’s lifthill has had it’s top two support connectors fitted, and the lifthill catwalk is nearly complete :)

Nemesis Inferno This coaster will always have a special place in my heart. In my opinion it’s the best current coaster to ride at Thorpe, Hyperia may change that when it opens. For 2016 and 2017 I worked on it as well, and it was the first ride I was ever trained on, so spent a lot of hours...

Thorpe Park have fully confirmed the length of Hyperia, this length will make it the park’s longest coaster. Thorpe’s former longest was Colossus at 849.996m, Hyperia at 995.4m is 145.404m longer.

Following on from @JoshC.’s update, by the time I got down to the construction site today, this piece has been assembled! The sheer size of Hyperia’s first drop from standing right next door down Monks Walk is so very impressive, made the mistake on footwear but it was a worthwhile sacrifice...

Sorry for the double post, but Theme Park Guide have posted an update from inside the park, this view is the view I’d been wanting to see for a while. It looks fantastic. Source: https://themeparkguide.co.uk/news-page/Thorpe-Park-Hyperia-Update-From-Within-The-Park-February-2024

Seeing Hyperia yesterday in the flesh the scale this coaster has already, it’s absolutely dwarfing Colossus and Saw as expected. I am glad I remembered to take my camera down this time.

Decided to briefly pop down to the pathway by the lake, this evening, Hyperia really does look stunning from that angle.

Hyperia’s first drop is continuing to rise and twist. Really hope to get down to Monks Walk soon.

More supports for the first drop have gone up.

Thanks again Hixee, for keeping the league going in 2024! Sunbury On Thames, UK

Another update has been shared via the pass holder group from the construction site.

The new support tower continues to rise.

More progress has been made on the the supports for the non-inverting Immelmann and dive loop.

I honestly think there would have been a happy medium with the text of the new logo, incorporated into Thorpe’s infinity design that has been with the park since 2000/2001. What baffles me more is Thorpe launched a whole “signature collection” range in 2023, with an adapted infinity logo, so...

More supports for Hyperia have have gone in.

The track Hyperia’s breakrun is now complete with the catwalk present too. Looks like it will have three block zones.
