Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

That drop is going to be horrifying, I can't wait!

With over half the lift up a larger crane is now needed to finish off the coaster, here are some great pictures looking up the lift.





Also some wings are going up.

Also a video:

Those pictures are edited so the gold looks brighter. in videos it looks rather dull, hopefully the great British sunshine makes it gleem.

Beautiful and unique coaster!

Indeed, the mud actually looks a bit gold in those.

Well we are in the endgame of the coasters construction for track and supports, the big crane is up and has gotten started

The top of the lift has been moved to the site.

It's also been said that the top of the pieces of track for the lift hill will be connected at ground level, and then lifted into place as one whole unit. Not sure how common that is for taller coasters, but will be a sight to behold in any case (and one which will almost definitely be captured).

In terms of what is left track-wise, it is about just under half the lift hill and 33m of the drop.

Hyperia confirmed to have a 1.3m height restriction!

 

[VonRolland]

1.3m for Hyperia! So you can ride Hyperia unaccompanied or RMT at ATR, both are 1.3m unaccompanied

But you can't ride the park's Vekoma family coaster until you hit 1.4m

I assumed it would be 1.4. You've got Saw next door, a Gerstlauer Euro-Fighter with a 1.4 restriction. Given that Speed: No Limits at Oakwood has a 1.25 (I think) restriction, doesn't that show that Thorpe have bumped Saw's restriction up a bit? Why wouldn't they do the same for Hyperia which is arguably just as intense? I'm not complaining, I'm just confused.

What year did Thorpe ditch the themed area names? Lost City, Amity Cove, Calypso Quay etc..

As I actually think Hyperia would have settled quite nicely into the original Lost City theme.

Wondered where Hyperia was going to fit in on the map and then I remembered the themed areas are no more

I miss the old cartoony/exaggerated maps. This is kinda hard to make out.

 

[Berksfan]

I don’t care for the design of the map, they’ve got a huge new coaster and we get an aerial view that just kind of flattens it.

Also miss the themed areas.

 

[Joelpagett]

The map is very bland. I know they're rebranding this year, but it just looks so corporate and flat. Where's the excitement - Hyperia looks like a family coaster!

If it were 2012 Hyperia would be sticking out of some clouds with goofy looking screaming riders

Not to jump the gun, but could this be gold trains confirmed?

First image of the gold trains!

Another budget cut..... no viewing area
