Coaster reviews

Headbanging Discomfort Tear it down!

Not even rideable, the whole time my head was slammed against the seat. This ride is too old and needs to be taken down!

Fun

For kids, it's ok for what it is.

First Drop Rattle Lap Bar

The layout itself is not bad for a family coaster. In the backseats the first drop is quite good. The problem is that this coaster is NOT comfortable at all. Riders get squished, the park doesn't even allow you to leave the bags off the ride. Sad because it 100% could be better than it is now with some improvements

First Drop Launch Pace

Rode it in 2017. Very good. The speed stays good for the entire track and it feels like there aren't dead spots. It's definitely worth the long queue

Capacity Rattle

A little shaky, but I expected it and enjoyed it a little bit. My biggest pro was that it had virtually no line, the opening crowd entirely skipped it & Valravn. It is the 3rd best woodie I've been on sitting behind Coastersaurus at Legoland Florida, but Cedar Point needs to keep this around for families. They can get a Gravity Group somewhere else in the park.

Inversions Intensity Duration

It is great floorless coaster it is smoother than Kraken, but has less inversions. The pacing of Dominator was better than I expected. It was also more forceful too. I really enjoyed the length as well!

Airtimes First Drop Masterpiece

Hyperia is the insanely good ride that Thorpe Park have needed for a while. I've had a lot of rides on it now but just as you think perhaps it's not quite delivering, you get that back row or front row and back up it goes. This thing is a kilometre of sheer unrelenting perfection, yes it's short but every element hits like a charging rhino and there isn't a yard of track that doesn't deliver. The entire ride is really a highlights reel of the very best elements of their kind: that crazy stalled dive loop, that intense immelmann with the excellent drop off, the frankly ridiculous outer banked barrel roll thing, and that first drop, which is just insane as you crest the top with nothing but a view of the ground approaching at warp speed. The second outerbank and final hill are excellent as well, and serve to wrap up the experience nicely. Trains are the usual supremely comfortable beauties we come to expect from Mack, joint best in the business in my view. Contrary to others, I love the style of the ride and the consistency of it along with the incredible Imascore soundtrack really fits the ride very well, a coaster this big and this doesn't need anything more. The ride is also really rather reliable now, the teething problems have passed and any downtime it does have seems to be very minimal, which is excellent for a ride in it's opening year. It is true that one of the trains has a bit more of a shake than the other, which hopefully they can look into, but nothing can stop Hyperia living in the highest echelons of European coasters. Mack Rides and Thorpe Park have a real masterpiece on their hands.

Launch Fun Layout

Could be my favorite ride ever. Intense, fun, the launch is amazing

Theming Discomfort Pointless

Way too slow for what it's supposed to be, even for a small kid. Pointless, waste of time. Also not comfortable

Layout Headbanging

My first ever SLC. Rough but good layout
