Hyperion • Energylandia

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!
