Airtimes Lap Bar Fun Rattle

In my opinion this ride is underrated in many cases. When it's warm, it's one world class ride. Great ejector, world class turns and and amazing first drop. Unfortunately, the outer seats tend to get very rattely if you don't ride in the first row. It is still far up in my personal rating, even though it has barely been beaten now.

Airtimes First Drop Intensity Rattle

The first half is crazy! Awesome Drop, great first ejector hill and out of controll turnover! The second part after the little bit weaker floater Hill is weaker but also really good. A little rattle - but nothing to bad.

First Drop Intensity Rattle

Absolutely incredible and the first ride in Europe that's been an obvious full 5-star coaster from the start for my liking. You enter the beautiful station through the "O" in Hyperion and take a much too long walk through a neverending queue line. Held in place by the newest generation Intamin lap bars, you then climb up the lift hill and are sent into a first drop that is just so so good. From there on you are having a difficult time comprehending the speed and power of the coaster and you almost forget to enjoy the beautifully long first airtime hill - not the very strongest airtime but well-sustained and not weak at all. The twist and dive ends the first part very abruptly and rips you violently into the direction you were coming from. Now comes the even better part - the one close to the ground. The abrupt banking of the track that follows is so much fun that you cannot help but to continue with your hysterical laughter. The small bunnyhop after that is something I barely noticed, more so the big floater airtime hill following it. It provides exactly what it promises and presents a breather point in the layout. I agree that with more rerides this hill becomes slightly too boring compared to the rest of the layout (i.e. it doesn't match the overall purpose of the majority of the layout), though not enough though for me to take off half a star. The bunny-hop-banking combination after the turnaround is as great as the first time around and the following sharp corners at still very high speed give you some really really strong positive G-forces. The final hill provides great airtime and then you slam into the brakes at a speed other coasters would be happy to reach at any point of the ride. Totally amazing. I do admit that after a lot of re-rides it becomes slightly less exciting as opposed to Zadra in the same park that remains stupidly good each and every time you ride it. Still an obvious 5-star ride and it is still amazing to me how my personal two favourite coasters in Europe are situated in the same park that as a whole is far from being my favourite park in Europe. (Depending on seating position and point of time - I haven't quite decoded the exact relationship - this ride can have quite a rattle or non at all. I might have had luck with my rides, as other people in our group have been detracted by a strong rattle on some of their rides.)

First Drop Theming Intensity Rattle

Amazing coaster with great first drop, especially in the back. Good first ejector, then amazing Twist and Dive element with following Stengel Dive. Both want to throw you away from your seat. Then a little dissapointing Airtime Hill and a Wave Turn but the last part near the ground is very intensive and satisfying. A little disadvantage is rattle. First time I rode it in 2018 it was very smooth. This year unfortunately there was a little rattle, especially on the sides. However I think that's acceptable one. Nevertheless Intamin should take care of it, shame they don't want to.

First Drop Theming Pace Rattle

Energylandia is very proud of this coaster and is showing off a little bit, as Hyperion is located just next to the main parking, really close to the entrance. But believe me, this thing looks magnificent and the showing off is understandable. It is also very well themed, in a style which reminds Star Trek a little bit. The station looks epic and creates a proper atmosphere thanks to the movies which are displayed, lights etc. It is a shame, that final part of the queue is located outside the building, on the staircase - whole atmosphere disappears. In my first ride I was sitting in third row, in the middle - sits are located quite high and I could not place my legs on the ground (which is perfectly possible on the outside). First drop: Wow! It is followed by nice airtime on another hill. Second part of the ride is different - track is closer to the ground, there are nice corners there and finally, there is great portion of airtime close to the end. I was shocked how good this thing is. I went for another ride and, unfortunately, it was much worse than the first one. I do not know what is the reason: maybe the place I took (last row) or train (people complain about train no. 2 on polish forums) - but the ride was very uncomfortable due to constant rattle. It is still, however, a great, intense, well-themed coaster with amazing drop, great pace and nice layout.

Airtimes First Drop Lap Bar Rattle Dead spots

This ride starts of with one of the best drops out there, with amazing sustained ejector. The airtime hill following it provides great sustained ejector, however the ejector is definitely not the strongest out there. The twist and dive following is amazing having great whip at the top and the dive down is fun. After this the ride seems to loose it’s intensity, having a decent Stengel dive which does provide good laterals and sideways airtime, and a pointless speed hill which may as well be straight track and the into probably the most pointless “floater hill” which completely kills the pace. Following this is a combination of pretty intense turns, and concluding with a couple of great ejector airtime hills. Overall this ride is really fun, but nothing insane

First Drop Rattle Pointless

Hyperion has been one of the biggest draws for enthusiasts to visit Poland; a relatively new park in the form of Energylandia investing millions into this seemingly awesome Intamin giant. The theming is a huge step out from Energylandia's cheap and tacky previous efforts, whilst is also the first step the park are making at investing into huge, uniquely crafted experiences as opposed to off the shelf / straight from the manufacturer catalogue tat. Hyperion's first drop is an awesome opener, even more so with a loose restraint; an intense ecstasy powered rush that could never grow boring. That one song that no matter how many times you listen to it, still gives you goosebumps regardless of how long it’s been stuck on repeat. Yet what follows is an irritable rattle that companies you around the rest of the layout, with only one major air time hill to give the ride any outstanding zest. The real sting with Hyperion however is the finale; a totally unnecessary water splash which may appear to be impressive from off-ride, but is significantly discomforting on-ride particularly on the back row. This isn't just a moderate spray either; rather a painful soaking that will see to outclassing the park's actual water rides. Once the ride warms up, the water splash ending is unable to catch you as the train now runs fast enough to miss it entirely. The air time from the first hill grows increasingly wonderful as Hyperion charges on throughout the day, whilst the first drop continues to hold its weight as a superb opener. Hyperion is best experienced at the end of the day with low expectations of what coasters of this calibre can do. Whilst it is a good all round ride, the unmissable rattles and the ridiculous water splash finale detract from what should have been the perfect coaster for a park that is finally seeing sense and shifting towards deeper and more intricate theme park experience.

Airtimes First Drop Fun Rattle

Hyperion provides an excellent mixture of diverse elements: an incredible first drop, both floater and sustained ejector airtime hills, fast transitions, two aggressive Stengel dives and a Twist and Dive element, which is definitely the highlight of the ride, as it combines excellent airtime with a quick inversion and it is taken at an incredible speed. Even though Hyperion uses a traditional chain lift, trains quickly reach the top of the first hill and keep the furious pace right until final brakes. Trains are very spacious and open, giving you an awesome sense of freedom. Taron-style restraints are very comfortable and nice theming definitely adds to the experience. The ride is smooth, although I could feel a minor rattle on the second airtime hill from time to time. While Hyperion is an intense ride, it definitely is not too intense, which is great because it makes you want to ride it over and over again. EDIT - after riding Hyperion more than 20 times I correct my rating and give it full 5 stars instead of 4.5. The ride is just pure fun and slight rattle in the back of the train is not enough to spoil it in my opinion.

Riding first row is like a cross between Taron and a regular megacoaster!

Airtimes First Drop Ejectors Rattle

The first half of the ride (from the first drop to the floater hill) is really intense and provide some really good ejector comparable to the one on Maverick or SV. The second half is definitely less intense, but still not forceless ; the floater hill provide * some better floater than the one you can find on B&M Hypers, while the Twisted airtime hill and the last airtime hill provide some good ejector , not as forceful as the one on the first drop or the first hill but still intense; The little bunny hops are really funny and the stengle dives ,even if not as intense as maverick ones, manage to throw you around quite a bit , specially if you are seated on a outer seat; Another "benefit" of the edge seat is that the splash down get's you really wet. The only downside of the ride is that it has a rattle, quite an intense one actually, but it does not effect a lot the experience thanks to the restrains, you can really feel it on the overbancked turns and the s curve. In the end is a really good and intense ride (if don't mind the vibration**) that leaves you whit a big smile and a "what did just happen" feel wen you get off of it. I'd recommend it to anyone that enjoy a good intense ride. * In my opinion **I don't know if is a wheel problem or a track deal soo keep in mind that this could change

Hyperion is a really fun coaster - but not in the same league as Taron or El Toro. There are many good but not great moments of airtime. The Twist n' Dive is a brilliant moment mixing floater air and twistyness. The Stengel Dives are fun, though not on par with Maverick's. I feel Hyperion could have done more with its height and speed. Still an exciting ride well worth marathoning though!
