Airtimes First Drop Smoothness Too short Capacity Reliability
Hyperia is a wonderful new addition to Thorpe Park's fabulous roster. It has the best first drop in the UK by some distance and has unmatched smoothness and pacing throughout with not a single rattle or dead spot. The restraints are perfection and allow for all the airtime to be fully experienced. However, its poor reliability and capacity really let it down on the day with queues not dropping below two and a half hours. Additionally, it just feels like a missed opportunity to really build an undisputed best roller coaster in the UK. With all that height and space something world-class could have been built. Furthermore Hyperia just feels short, in stark contrast to The Smiler, the best in the UK in my opinion, and makes me feel like maybe a B and M hypercoaster would've been a better fit as something with good floater airtime is really needed in the UK. Nonetheless it is still a brilliant ride

First Drop Fun
kinda fun but a bit short
-
Location Fun Dead spots
This is a nice and pleasant ride, with a lame finish. Not a whole lot else to say about it - it doesn't stand out at all, but it's fun and has great views.

Airtimes Masterpiece Smoothness
Holy crap, when I say this ride is smooth I really mean it. It feels like a steel coaster because of the smoothness, and had some super intense parts of the ride such as: 1, The hill after the first drop, this hill delivered so much airtime I felt like I was flying. 2, The wicked speed hill after the turnaround double-down, this was the most surprisingly intense and agressive part of the ride, it whips you while going around 50 mph, most people hate this part but I love it. 3, The helix finale, this part had so much laterals and felt like a really long wild mouse hair-pin turn but in a good way. This ride is truly a masterpiece and a great classic woodie. How is this thing 107 years old? it is super smooth.

Layout Rattle Discomfort Tear it down!
Sooooooooo rough, this ride has a good layout, but the roughness made me almost stop riding coasters. RMC, we got a new project for you.

This wasn't a clone, to start with. Six Flags installed this as a terrain coaster, and the other 2 Superman flying coasters were cloned off this. It works with its terrain amazingly, and despite it usually getting slow op teams, the 4-across seating usually makes up for Six Flags' 2 train operations. This is the first coaster to go down in the park on a rainy day, sadly, and pushes its line to its neighbor, Battle For Metropolis. It's an overall enjoyable coaster, not elite but still a B&M.
