It’s good and just about makes my top 10, but that’s purely because of the 2 night rides I had. Couldn’t see the mud pit below 😂
DIGITAL DAN!?!?!?
Digital Dan is a real one
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
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
@@Coaster_Critic Maybe you just got the same train for all for rides, that's not that unlikely (1 in 16 people who do 4 rides would experience that)
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!
lech coaster wow that hurts. its not that bad wth
@@mrquaversLech coaster is absolutely unreal, it's a long ride with a great variety of forces. Sure it doesn't have the height or the speed, but it feels as out of control as hyperia, it's airtime is as strong and it feels far more complete. Lech Coaster isn't a bad ride, and hyperia being worse than it for me isn't a diss against hyperia, both are excellent rides
@ThatCoasterEnthusiast good point but lech coaster always felt short imo
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
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
@@asterisks3062 “Well done Merlin!” 🧚🏻♀️✨🤠🙃
@@AnnoyingMiner10NO
I didn’t ride in the first three rows but to me the rattle was the same from the middle to the back
@@Coaster_Critic ahhhh
@@Coaster_Criticbecause you only got 4 rides. you may not even even ridden both trains. that definitely reflects your review. you just didn’t ride it enough and got unlucky, one train definitely has much more of a rattle, one train is also faster. i’m not sure how the hype and things would effect how it looked? either your not very good at visualising at how elements would feel, or you just imagined something that wasn’t there, we all knew hyperia was short, we knew from the off there would be little to no themeing. obviously you didn’t get to experience the elements at the front, so you can’t put out a comment saying the airtimes stronger at the back, for the most part it’s not. especially on the outerbank. i’m curious what you think has the best drop in the world, i’ve done coasters like gwazis, minellium force, dragster, red force ect and none of those drops come close to hypieras. some people would say fury 325s but i struggle to see how that’s better tbh. Also if you let hype effect how you feel before you ride and you basically let other people overrate it for you, that’s on you, i never really listen to what other people say, i’ll ride it myself and see what i think. otherwise i’d probably always be disappointed, there’s always someone that will say a certain coaster is the best in the world, it never looked like it would be so if you go expecting it to be i really do think that’s just silly tbh 😂 also you do have eyes, surley you can see just simply off ride that the elements aren’t really whippy, the banking is drawn out for a reason, that was quite literally one of the main selling points of hypiera. so it makes complete sense.
You have to consider that for british ppl, this is a huge scaled coaster. Its faster and higher then the average coasters in the uk. Most coasters are short in the uk, so they are used to it. And for what it is, it is enough for the brits.
For us coaster enthusiasts out there and from other countrys, we are used to bigger scaled coasters, more intense one and better themed one. The most intense cossters, beside this one, are nemesis, smiler, stealth and maybe saw and oblivion.
You cant really compare these coaster with hyperia.
For example: me as german, i have voltron, taron, black mamba, silver star, wodan, kärnan, colossos, Hals über Kopf, Fly, Freischütz, Blue Fire, Fluch von Novgorod, Colossos, Flug der Dämonen, Karacho and the list goes on.
Sure, some of them are average too, but still more thrill then the average coasters in the uk.
So it always depends on where u live. The normal visitor doesnt experience other parks outside of their own country.
I agree, British roller coasters as a whole don’t really compete with other elite rides out there
I am an American half British and it makes me sad seeing so many people call this the best coaster in the world when there are so many better ones! 😭
No one is calling it the best in the world lol
@@iliketrains3546 have you watched any British coaster enthusiasts videos 😭💀
it's not even a UK top 10 imo
@@GarryWilliams555 ehm...
@@GarryWilliams555😂😂😂😂😂 next joke please
I rode it twice yesterday, I don't think it's overrated at all. It's a great ride. Amazing first drop and elements. Like the outer bank into the inversion. Loved it.
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
@@Coaster_CriticTell me a coaster that does this
The reason uk people love hyperia like me is because it’s the best in the uk. But the thing is, all other uk coasters are SO MID. I absolutely love hyperia but I still think Thorpe park should have made it longer. We will need to wait another 10 years for it to be topped so they have kind of not made the most of the incredible opportunity. To potentially make one of the best coasters in the world.
Edit: I am English if you can’t tell
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
As someone from the UK who has had the pleasure of riding a few coasters abroad, this is a completely fair and balanced analysis of hyperia
I was half-agreeing with you until you said “I can’t stand British people at times…” at 5:33, which made me think this video is some sort of personal vendetta?
I also think the “overrated” is incorrect - “flawed” would be better. This is a coaster that Britain needed. Is it world-class? Not really but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
It’s the opposite of a vendetta, that quote is taken from the context of me saying that they deserve a better ride to be the country’s headliner
Look I’m sorry we don’t have a whole 50-states worth of space to build a long-ass hyper coaster, okay? 😭 Just let us have this one. This thing in the back row is better than Shambhala, arguably the best B&M hyper. I will take it all day long and I will love it until the day I die. I’m so grateful this ride exists.
There was a lot more room in Hyperia’s plot of land to make the ride longer, Merlin just didn’t want to pay
@@Coaster_Critic I’m not fussed, as I said I’m grateful for what we got. It’s an important step forward for the UK theme park industry.
Mulch! LOL. I think you summed it up perfectly.
It is a very good coaster for the length of ride time it has. It should have been longer and the trim was poorly thought out. The outer bank is a quality element, something different but it is much better at the front then back but then you have a weaker first drop at the front.
It is sad that we had to wait 30 years to get something to top nemesis. We are so restricted in this country because of the whingeing, complaining populace on the whole. Just look at who we vote for. Oh, I am complaining 😂
I have never experienced a rattle on Hyperia. But I have heard one train has a rattle and one train does not so maybe I have got lucky over 6 rides.
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
I totally agree with your points. Hyperia is unnecessarily short and it is rattly and was a bit underwhelming. It's not even my favourite in the UK but it still is a great coaster.
I've ridden it in both trains, every row, every seat multiple times and its safe to say its an elite coaster for me and makes my top 5.
And sure some of that is bias as I still can't get over the fact theres a Mack hyper coaster at a day tripable park, each element really hits the spot for me besides the last little airtime hill (still decent though) but the waveturn just before is excellent.
It's my UK #1 and definitely offers something different than any other UK coaster, it's ashame that it was around 3 to 4 million pounds from being worthy to be considered the best in the world but it's Merlin after all.
Thanks for your input, I just didn’t experience it the way you did I guess
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
Im a proud british man and i absolutely love hyperia, i do agree that its not in the conversation as regards to being the best in the world, however it is the best in the UK and us brits definitely should be proud of it. It really has upped the level for coasters in the uk
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 ?
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 havent ridden it yet. Its a 5 hour drive for us & up until recently the thing spent more time broken down than open.
As a big mainline European coaster fan... Sigh... I hope youre wrong 😢
It’s the best roller coaster I’ve ever ridden. In 6 months time I’m going to ride Iron Gwazi, Mako, Manta and Montu.
I imagine all of these will place higher on my personal rankings.
I prefer Hyperia to Mako and Manta but the other 2 over Hyperia
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.
Just picked up my phone and happy to see you posted!!!
Good coaster but does not hold a torch to a RMC. I do like it better than Skyrush which is overatted in my opinion.
It’s good but not even top 50 in the world imo when you really consider what else is out there. It’s just British people hyping it up tbh. They’re trying to speak hyperia’s eliteness into existence but voltron is way better
Real af
Finally
I remember all the zeal over Hyperia and the construction 🧚🏻♀️✨🤠
*LOOK-A NEW FOOTER THAT IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE FORTY BEFORE IT*
Anyways, great video as always & let’s get you to 2K subs (an even better milestone is 1989 🧚🏻♀️✨😉🩵)
yes the reporting on the construction was way over the top - OMG a fence, OMG a footer, OMG a digger
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!
It doesnt have to do with mack. They made the best out of thorpe parks budget. Look just at voltron. Its a freaking intense coaster from start to finish. Its even so intense, that the turn table section is a welcomed break.
Last year i wrote Dc Rival on my aussie trip and i was surprised how good this mack hyper is.
And Hyperia isnt bad or a slow burner. Its actually pretty forcefull in some sections.
I meant the rattle had to do with Mack, Hyperia’s length is Thorpe and Merlin’s problem
best ride for me but i havent gotten outside the uk. however its not overrated. it is insane especially that drop but i need to get to some euro parks. def a no1 uk coaster and it has a potential to be top 10 in europe. thats my take
I agree that it’s #1 in the UK, but barely squeaks into top 20 in Europe imo
It's my Number 3 behind rth and toutatis
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
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.
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
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
@@Coaster_Critic ik😭😭 I can still dream tho
@@Coaster_Critic rest in piss splash plaza (theres literally a gate to where it wouldve been and the exit path is really wide to accommodate it)
hyperia is incredible i have no idea why your picking out small parts like saying there is a large rattle when it’s very small and doesn’t change the experience
@@youtube_security1 no trust me, it's strong and ruins all. If I had to rank hyperia based only on the "good" rides, it would be 3rd, but if I included the bad rides with the rattle it wouldn't be in my top 10.
This is just my opinion from what I experienced; to me the rattle detracted from the experience
most UK thoosies are too thirsty for any honest neutral reviews. Merlin are cheap period, this ride should have been 4000+ foot long.
It's very overrated. I saw alot of people acting like this is the first elite coaster ever in the UK but it's not. I liked Megaphobia Grand National and Stealth way more.
I still think it’s the best in the UK, but it could have been a lot better
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
I think it’s a bit unfair comparing UK parks to some of the two best parks in the world, it should be seen as a park with a lot of history and a very strict set of rules to follow which has still achieved some pretty decent rides.
@@Test-qe7up yea but then again efteling and phantasialand have pretty scrict rules too. Efteling can't build above 30 meters and has to keep atleast 90 percent of it's land area as forested nature. And phantasialand can't do anything in a pretty big chunk of it's land untoutched because of noise and they cannot expand because Brühl is so strict. Those parks are top class why not anything made by merlin. Alton towers has a lot of limits put in place but that hasn't stopped other parks from being great.
Try to have huge bias challenge (edited because it was mean)
In what way am I biased or narcissistic? I’m providing an honest assessment of the ride based off my experiences.
@@Coaster_Critic ok I was overreacting about the narcissistic part, but I absolutely see how much bias you have for the ride mostly because it’s popular
0:01 chat I could name 5 European countries > the Uk in theme parks right of the bat…

@@coasters4life388 are you dumb? Turkey have two Intamin blitzes and a Mack hyper
I'm one of the few enthusiasts from the UK that felt disappointed with Hyperia. I live about 4hrs away and visited during construction which gave me high expectations as it looks so damn good off ride. BUT there's 2 huge elephants in the room, the 1st is I was born long before the UA-cam trend so content creators pushing their (sometimes bias opinions to get more VIP invites) don't blinker my own. The 2nd it's Mack, who seem to enjoy a slower less forceful ride experience.
I feel anyone who rides Hyperia and then goes out and rides the name sake - Hyperion, will soon come to their senses and see what a tame coaster we got.
So after booking my hotel on open day, getting to the park for 6am and being one of the early public riders... It was... well,,, just Meh, ok. Good by UK standards but there's better coasters over here, well better coasters at the same park even.
I'll return in a few years when the tracks naturally settled and the coasters a few % faster.. but I've been on this rodeo enough to understand an average coaster. I wouldn't rate it in my top 20 Euro coasters.
Thanks for sharing your experience, I have a higher opinion of it than you do
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
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.
Worst hyper imo
I wouldn’t go that far but it looks to be the worst one from Mack
