The Harsh Truth About Hyperia...
Hyperia was one of the most anticipated new for 2024 coasters and possibly the most hyped ride in UK theme park history, so does it live up to its expectations?

Worst hyper imo
Added this park as a stop on my coaster trip in Europe just to give this coaster a proper go. My experience of spinning coasters only goes as far as Crazy mouse at Brighton Pier, Spinball Whizzer at Alton Towers and Dragon’s fury at Chessington and in terms of multi launches I’ve done Maverick at Cedar Point and Cheetah at Busch Gardens. So, I look forward to seeing how it takes these concepts from both to make something so universally praised.
I feel it’s a lot easier to love the coasters in the UK when you live here. I doubt I’d be as attached to any of the rides here if I hadn’t grown up with them and if they weren’t often my only option when it comes to thrill rides to be honest. Pretty excited to have Hyperia which actually lives up to all of the incredible coasters I’ve rode in the states.
Real af
Finally
this is something i feel is true for British themeparks in general. I've heard people saw that Nemisis reborn is the best themed coaster in the UK. and then i look at rides like black mamba which is really similar but from the looks of things way better themed. or i look at at Efteling which might be less thrilling but you cant beat their ambiance, theming and music. UK does have some really good parks. but I feel like they don't hold up to the standards of Efteling and Phantasialand. just compare Taron and Fly to all the UK rides and the difference is clear... tbf i've never been to any uk park but from video's i've seen I don't think that alton towers or any other UK themepark is truly world class.
Yeah, the UK doesn’t have anything world class. Towers is really good but there’s several parks better, and you can find better examples of theming all across Europe
Why can you just see it for what it is ?? A short ride with insane elements. Once you accept this you’ll enjoy it much more !!
If the elements were insane, I’d have no problems with its length. There are plenty of short rides that make the best out of their short length, but imo Hyperia isn’t one of them
@@Coaster_Critic Good point
It is my top coaster. I personally think it could of been a little longer, but I never come into the break run thinking I wish that was longer
Agree with the general thought that’s it’s great but not truly elite (Thorpe Park is my home park). Back is best for drop but there’s much more airtime at the front in the other elements. It’s too short and I don’t even consider the hill after the trims to be an element, just part of the brakes. The splashdown when it was working was hilarious - you can’t see it from the paths/queues and it was out of sync. The theming is not great and the ride actually faces the wrong way for views for most of the elements imo. I did get a rattle in the middle but not at the front or back so disagree with that. Just feels like a rushed hyper coaster done on the cheap. Still prefer Nemesis Reborn back row at night which says it all really.
I've done hyperia and it didnt disappoint for me, i feel like it packed enough of a punch to justify the length of the ride. but there is definitely a rattle pacifically on train 2. the first train is glass smooth :). It would be amazing if it was longer and maybe a top worthy coaster but im personally fine with this, as I still think its the best in the uk by far.
I think it’s still the best in the UK as well, where my opinions differ is that I believe it’s not intense enough to justify its short length
Don't get me wrong Ride to Happiness is a great roller coaster. It is an intense ride and always a unique ride because of the spinning. But it did not meet my expectations and the hype around it. It is a roller coaster like no other that is very innovative and a nice addition to the park. I do find the theming mediocre. The queue and station are quite bare and it feels cheap, besides that only a bit of beautiful nature. There are roller coasters that are decorated much nicer, which in my opinion give a better experience. I can see why enthusiasts love this ride!
Interesting, is the coaster portion itself also overhyped in your opinion?
@@Coaster_Critic Last week I did this roller coaster for the first time. After hearing a lot of hype about this ride I really wanted to go to Plopsa and especially the Ride to Happiness. I had watched videos and a documentary about the construction which may have made my expectations too high. The ride was ultimately very good and is high on my list, but I certainly don't think it is the best. Maybe it has to do with personal taste, although I don't have a problem with the crazy forces and the spinning.
Just picked up my phone and happy to see you posted!!!
Loved this video. I think it excellently summarises everything that's wrong with Hyperia despite seemingly being a great ride. I still can't wait to go back to Thorpe to ride this thing, even if I knew it wasn't gonna be all that since it started construction 😂
Thank you Pol, hope you enjoy it
i absolutely agree with everything said especially since im one of those people you mentioned at 6:26 lol. only thing id say tho is the outerbank turnaround thing is significantly better in the front row as you get proper ejector going up into it which is then sustained all the way through and down through the roll (i was lucky enough to experience it on the front row with a friend using single rider) so if u had managed to get a front row ride i think you probably wouldve had a different opinion on that element. but yeah it 100% only gives floater in the back rows and then some nice pull down thru the roll. also about the rattle, it seems to be one of the 2 trains that is particularly worse for some reason as well as it being worse on both trains in the middle rows. the front and back rows on both trains are pretty much perfectly smooth. i had 2 rides on it that were quite bad in terms of the rattle, one of which was really quite awful because of it and i had to p much brace myself in every valley bc my back was having non of it but the other 3 rides on it were perfectly fine. and tbh it is quite concerning especially as its a brand new coaster and i rode it after it had only been open to the public for about 4 weeks in total so i just worry about what its going to ride like in 10 or 20 years time
Thanks for the input emerald4!
Mulch! LOL. I think you summed it up perfectly.
One terrible company has a crushing monopoly on all of our theme parks and a mid-table B&M invert in a crater was our best ride for 30 years, can't you just let us have our nice moment?
😂😂
I feel for you haha but what you got could have ended up much better imo
It's not a UK top 10 for me but I never expected it to be. It's a fun ride though and I would imagine it would be great for someone who hasn't done any modern hypers.
Why is it not top 10 in the UK?
I’d love to hear the 10 UK coasters that are better lmao
It's not possible ahaha
I think people need to learn the difference between overrated and flawed. Everyone knows this coaster is slightly short. Everyone also knows is has a rattle and that the theming and landscaping is shite. No one is denying that, therefore it can’t be overrated. The people who love this coaster appreciate the elite elements and insane pace and forces that this ride brings, while others, like this video, just focus on the small nitpicked negatives and act like a short ride can’t be a world class one
Nowhere in this video did I call Hyperia overrated, but I do believe it to be so because the “elite elements” you mentioned are far from elite and the “insane forces” are limited to one or two maneuvers
@@Coaster_CriticWhat about the thumbnail ??
@@Hellow41361 There's a question mark after it
@@Coaster_Critic ok fair enough
I don’t understand the rattle complaint. Like yeah it is there, but that’s it. It’s not like you get headbanging or anything it just exists. I get it shouldn’t be there but it doesn’t detract from the ride experience at all
I thought it was more than noticeable and absolutely took away from the experience. It’s not horrible but bad enough to detract from the ride
I can’t stand silly thoosies who complain about rattles
i mostly agree with you on this however one of my rides was absolutely awful and insanely uncomfortable because of it so i guess i just got unlucky since all of my other rides on it were fine

Americans enthusiasts try not to be elitist challenge.
I don’t see how I’m being elitist. I’m giving a fair review of the ride based off of my opinions, many of which are positive
Womp womp
You always hear Quality is better thn Quantity, but in this case, there is not nearly enough quality. The Theming and Landscaping just seems to be the bare minimum, paying a little more for decent landscaping wouldn't break the bank. Then also the Ride is way too short, sure there are some very good high-quality elements but yet again, the quantity is still not enough. Lance Hutch made a good extended concept of Hyperia in NoLimits2, this is what I wish Hyperia was. I can't post a link in the comments, but go look it up,
Great video as always Mr John Critic. Going to thorpe for the first time next year, so I'll finally have a chance to ride it. My expectations for it have never been nearly as high as the rest of the community's, probably because of the shit state that video games have been in making me a bit more cynical, but I'm still excited (and its still probably gonna be my #1 either way), but my expectations are low enough as to where they can probably be exceeded. I shall return in like 9 months or whenever it is I go
Thank you Mr John Bean
As a British enthusiast who has had the pleasure of travelling Europe after hyperia was my first big coaster, I can confidently say that whilst hyperia definitely is one of the most unique and interesting rides in the world, it does not and can not stack up to rides like Voltron, Hyperion or even something as seemingly inferior as lech coaster. I can confidently say it's the ride the UK needed and I hope it brings a new coaster war to our small island, but it absolutely is not the world beating coaster so many people, most of whom who haven't ridden it, claim it to be. Excellent video as always!
ive ridden hyperia 7 times now, i think its slightly overrated, but thats only because of the lack of theming. the length is perfectly fine with me, its impressive how many amazing and unique elements it packs into the layout. if it was any longer, it probably would be too much for some people. you can see people’s reactions coming off the ride, and they are all blown away and satisfied with the ride. (by the way the rattle is only on 1 train, the other train is perfectly smooth)
I wouldn’t have had as much of a problem with the length if the elements were better, but for me it fell short in terms of intensity/length
@@rubenlikesrides_ yes it definitely would be too much for me if it was longer. Unfortunately every time I get out I have strong headache (especially later in the day, my first ride was fine). I don't know if it depends on the rattle, very strong, or the positive Gs.
Whilst your critiques are totally correct with regards to the park, just be careful with how you describe the Kafala system to your viewers. Of course the human rights in the past in the Middle East were shocking, just as they were all over the world some centuries ago. But in 2017, Dubai states that all migrant workers now have exactly the same rights as UAE workers. Confiscation of passports, like places in Qatar, has always been completely illegal in Dubai and on top of that employers must provide 30 days of paid leave, and 15 days of both sick leave and and paid sick leave. The conditions are slowly but surely getting better for immigrant workers, it’s not quite there yet but Dubai is getting there eventually especially with the westernisation of the area.
That’s good to hear, but there’s definitely still a lot of things wrong with the process
Apparently one of the trains is smooth, one has a rattle and it also gets much faster later in the day
It definitely warmed up for me, but I felt a rattle in each of my 4 rides so I doubt it was a train issue
@Coaster_Critic I've got 20 rides and it is better varying on trains
Id agree 90%, I will say the rattle was almost non-existent on the front and back cars but yeah the rest were like DUDUDUDUDUDUU

My first reaction when I saw a POV of Hyperia was: "Wow! I would feel robbed coming off that short ride!". But then people keep saying that the elements make up for it. Let's just say it's not on top of my bucketlist.
it should be for sure i thought that aswell and when i rode it recently i was blown away and it didnt feel short at all since its so intense.
If the elements were better, it wouldn’t feel short to me since the overall level of intensity would be higher
@@Coaster_Critic the elements have good intensity and all provide good forces, how could they be thatttt much better ?
its still my No1 hopefully come a retrack which might come sooner than expected it'll get its actual second half + unload station + 3 trains+ extra theming maybe i should set up a go fund me lol
Since Merlin skimped on the original construction of the ride, I HIGHLY doubt they’d do anything you mentioned
They definitely won’t change the layout lol

ok
I'm obsessed with RTH. Will be back there shortly, just to enjoy this undescribable feeling it provides. I'm missing it so badly after just 3 weeks. It's addictive! It's a masterpiece in all ways. I always feel these goosebumps before riding it again, and even feel tears of joy coming up, i can't help it. At first, I thought its name was kinda weird, but never had a ride worn its name so perfectly.
taiga was the first non-family coaster i rode… i think i might have set myself up for disappointment. i visited särkänniemi (another park in finland) and let’s say i’m very glad i got in free. that made me wonder where taiga ranks internationally and… well i think i know where i should go next 😅
My group got stuck on the lift hill on railblazer at California's great america because of a faulty motor on the top it kept stopping and going but the train was not moving it was closed the rest of the day (on 4th if July this year)
We wont have to wait long for the next Extreme Spinner, Plopsa and Mack gonna build another for the 2026 season in Holiday Park, Haßloch, Germany, and they say its gonna be more insane as RTH.
I can't wait for it!
@@Coaster_Critic i can wait...i wait for 2027 before i revisit Holiday Park, i prefer not going in the opening year of such a new coaster, because you most likely gonna wait at least 2h
Great video👍Definitely the best most versatile park in Europe👌No other park can boast the overall package of the Europapark. Over a hundred attractions for young and old. Brilliant theming with incredible details, countless food options. Fantastic hotels, and Rulantica one of the best water parks in Europe. Definitely my no.1 themeparc☝
I can speak to Arie Force 1 since I got to marathon it last year. The quad down isnt really so much a problem, its strong airtime, but it doesn't hurt IMO, however the final break run is a HUGE issue. The last pop of airtime into the final breaks is extremely uncomfortable. I have ridden 80+ coasters and its by far the worst break run I have ever experienced. If it just slammed to a stop it would already be uncomfortable just because it comes in with so much speed but the feeling of still being weightless makes that slam into the bar even more extreme. Otherwise its an incredible ride and is tied with STEVE for me personally.
I've definitely heard that about the brake run as well, it's just bad design
It sure is a great park but i feel like people dont think enough about the past incidents. Its not something that happens often in theme park. I've never been there but all these events just makes me think...
