    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!

      ​@@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

    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.

    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

    Finally rode Hyperia for the first time yesterday. I absolutely love the theme music and I think the first drop, outerbanked airtime hill and stall dive loop are all world class elements and feel like nothing else in this country. Plus, the speed you build up and then take those elements with is just completely nuts. Until I can get myself back over to the states and over to greater Europe to try all the new rides there and my old favourites, Hyperia now sits as my number one, as, as far as I’m concerned, it’s nothing like anything else I’ve ever experienced on the planet. Yesterday managed to ride it on the front twice and then the other rides were also near the front. 3 rides on the rattle train and one on the one that isn’t rattling and I actually think the rattle is even worse than people say it is. It was very uncomfortable in those valleys and hopefully in the planned maintenance next week, they sort it out, because it’s only going to get worse. The themeing is also disappointing and definitely half baked. If it could’ve been even nearly as good as something like Nemesis Reborn I think it would’ve elevated the coaster even higher. I also don’t like the trims on the splashdown. I get why they’re there but they really take the speed out of you and they’re actually a little uncomfortable in my opinion. It would be more forgivable I think if there were a few more elements after the trims, but, I don’t actually have a problem with the coaster’s length. I think it takes 5 really solid and unique (unique at least for the UK) elements and executes them really damn well. Could they have been better, yes, but I still think they’ve done them really well. The speed each element is taken with and the complete lack of dead space or throw away elements makes it feel like every moment on the coaster counts and every moment your body is going through something weird. I think if it was longer it potentially could’ve added to the experience, but too much would’ve killed that relentless pacing and any potentially throwaway elements like a helix I feel would’ve detracted because it would feel out of place.
    It’s currently my number 1 (for now) because the rides I had yesterday, especially the last one on the front row of the smooth train were just exceptional and I’m obsessed with that stall and first drop.
    It absolutely could be better and I’m a little disappointed in areas, but most of those things like the broken splashdown, lack of theming and rattle train can be fixed. Overall, I absolutely LOVE Hyperia.

      @@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.

  • @CoasterTrax
    @CoasterTrax 3 місяці тому +4

    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'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.

    It does feel like the majority of people who have ridden Hyperia loved it, and you are right in saying that you're an outlier for saying it's not as good as people say, but I get where you're coming from. That being said, for us UK enthusiasts, getting a coaster of this magnitude is very rare, so when it does come around, we are going to hype it up to the maximum. So it was inevitable that some people were going to come off underwhelmed. I think those 4 big elements it has are really good, but then it just ends. With an actual second half and better theming/landscaping, I really think it could have been a top 10 roller coaster in the world. And that's a shame because like I said, it will be a while until we get another coaster as good as this one.

    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

    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

    I waited 2 hours for this ride, and my first thought at the end was "that was it"? I think because I'd seen so much hype over it in the last few months I thought it'd be a bit better. It's a good coaster but still doesn't beat Voltron or even Nemesis for me. Nothing gave me that 'wow' factor except maybe the valley after the first drop which hurt my back slightly. Wait sorry that's 'ow' factor. In all seriousness though I did enjoy it, just was disappointed by it's length and lack of more elements.

    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'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.

    • @Coaster_Critic

  • @golgactic
    @golgactic 3 місяці тому

    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.

    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.

    • @Coaster_Critic

      @@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.

    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.
