- Still don't know the full picture but I can tell you some things it's not. The video has a fun intro! enjoy it!!!
If you want the merch? haha! I have a link on my channel to the shop.
For the black air gates shirt (one of many)

Ryan being stalked by Hyperia at the start of each update is hilarious. Plus, I feel like all of us Brits and our delightful selection of coasters really appreciate not being left out of your videos Ryan. I always notice the inclusion of our antique coaster types in your videos.
I never want to exclude anyone. But the time difference and algorithm tend to do a bit of that for us. I subscribe to plenty of UK and EU channels. Rides on that side of the pond at soooo cool compared to most US rides.
As someone who had the privilege of riding Hyperia on press day, AND the first day the coaster opened, I can say that air gate theory is correct. They were having huge issues with the air gates during the press preview, which kept on shutting the ride down. It's great to see they're fixing this issue too.
Every time I'm in line for Magnum XL-200 and I see the air gates shaking........"GET OFF THE GATES YOU'RE GOING TO SHUT DOWN THE RIDE!!!!"
Yeah, had some teen boys actually pushing on the air gates trying to open them on Blue Streak one day. They held but boy were they moving rapidly open and shut about an inch.
Have to say it! At that point is “come on operators!” Say it more
@ryantheridemechanic they did and threatened to stop operations if they didn't stop trying to force the gates open. They held us an extra 5 min from boarding to prove the point.
@@LTCoasters that’s something I would do haha!! “I can do this longer folks!”
Lol I just commented (and deleted) the same thing about Magnum. "Do NOT touch the silver gates or you WILL break the ride!"
That intro made me laugh so hard Ryan you did so good. It's nice to see an American coaster channel talk about a British park. Thanks for that! I also want you to know I've started telling my nieces to stay off the air gates lol.
Thank you so much. Knowledge is a community effort! And safety is everyone’s responsibility!
Knowledge 10/10
Intro 20/10 😂
Haha! Thank you glad you enjoyed both parts!!
Love the horror intro had me smiling greatly. Will stay off those air gates.
Awesome!
Excellent Video. It's good to see you are getting mentions from TH-camrs in the UK. From my experience, when we had a problem with an installation, to get the customer's confidence back, we would replace the whole assembly, even if only one part needed replacing, since I am guessing the main pressure on Mack Rides at the moment is not to get it working but to make sure it doesn`t break again. Yes, here in the UK, anyone who fixes anything is normally called an engineer. On the flip side, to become a senior engineer or manager (like I was back in the day), you don`t need a degree; you just need the experience.
Then my level also would have been a senior engineer. So what is the best term for the person who designed the ride? Person who actually did the math to make sure it’s safe? Her in the US, that’s the engineer. Just curious.
@@ryantheridemechanic Normally, in the UK, they would be called Design Engineers or Structural Engineers. In many respects, in the UK we see the person who maintains the ride as equally, if not more, important as the person who designed the ride. Because we use the apprenticeship system, the people who design and develop machinery don`t necessarily have degrees. What level you are at in the UK is normally based on skills and experience.
@@richywiggins3845 thank you for the info
Mack Rides is pronounced like mach, like in planes flying very fast not like Mc in McDonalds. Greetings from Germany and thanks for your great insights in all of your videos.
Ok thanks for breaking that down I understand stand now. That doesn’t mean I’ll remember. But I’ll try. Plane flys Mach 1 got it. Thanks.
1:18 earned a new sub! hahaha. Interesting that Hyperia has had so many issues in comparison to other Mack Hypers... I wonder if this will be the last Hyper that gets sold for a while from Mack 🤞Hope not. Great Vid.
That why I truly believe it’s a commoner failure. Something that was new but failed for some reason.
I can’t see this being a big problem for Mack. Their rides are very well thought out and built.
I think it's a tad overkill to be saying Hyperia has had so many issues, as far as we can tell it's had one issue, and these things happen, if this time next year it's still not open and they have had to do a lot of work then people can say it's had many issues :)
@@ryantheridemechanic 100% This will not harm Mack. I'm sad to say however I'm not convinced TT2 won't hurt Zamperla.
@@aarontaylor7750 time will tell. Well, actually, future orders will tell.
Great content, you said you don’t normally do videos like this. But you 100% should, really interesting stuff 💪
If I have soothing to add. I’m fine with it. But it generally takes me longer to make in depth video than the problem lasts. So I worry about spending a chunk of time to make a video that is immediately irrelevant. That’s what holds me back a lot.
What a lot of people don't realize about cranes is the further *out* you reach from the crane base, the less load you can pick. And this value goes down FAST.
Best capacity is always boom high, picking a load close in to the base.
I doubt they "picked the wrong crane for the job" but rather considering what cranes cost, they just used the best matched one for each stage of the repair.
I’ve had cranes surveyed wrong as well. The operator showed up, told them the job and they shook their head, “not with this crane” I’ve needed some pretty big cranes for some minor lifts but further out.
@@ryantheridemechanic Yep that makes sense. More reach, bigger crane for the load of the pick.
Great video! Praying it's open when I visit next Friday 🙏
Thanks so much for your expertise and insight. Really enjoy your work!
Thank you!
I love seeing a new video pop up while I scroll!!
Love the intro! Your vision came across perfectly.
Thanks! It was great!
they have handled it great! not blaming mack like cedar point blamed zamperla. got my fingers crossed for it being ready for monday when I next go to thorpe
I am hoping to go on Monday too. Hope it will be open as I took a day off for this.
I’m hoping they might get it sooner but don’t want to promise anyone of its return.
Hi Ryan, a great explanation Video on Hyperia's repair and engineering rectification process, thanks for sharing this
Cheers Peter 🙂
Your welcome!
The ride has already started testing lol, not trying to compare to top thrill 2 but it seems like they managed to fix it very quickly compared to it
As a Brit I appreciate you covering a UK park. I hope you’re following the very exciting news about Universal potentially building a theme park in the UK. Project Universal has some good drone footage of the site.
Oh I have not heard of that one. I see people get very involved pulling records for TH-cam and such things.
@@ryantheridemechanic Yeah, Universal have already purchased about 500 Acres of land in Bedford. They’ve done a public consultation and the locals are mostly supportive. The site is mostly flat, it will have its own train station as there’s a railway going through the site. The land is already marked for development and was planned to be an industrial park at one point which never happened.
Merlin almost have a monopoly with theme parks in the UK (Thorpe, Alton Towers, Lego Land) so having Universal will add some good competition. I think they could even rival Disneyland Paris for tourism being a well known name.
@@Stuntman707 sounds good. Breaking the monopoly
Best opening ever 😂
I had fun with that one
Thank you so much for this video thorpe have been so secretive it's great to have some idea what may be happening, I have liked and subscribed
Thank you! I’m a very easy channel to get along with. I generally release Friday nights. I have another video (it’s very long) coming out in 4 hours.
Thank you again for your professional insight.
Your welcome! Thanks for watching!
Heyyyy It wasn't 'us' leaning on the airgates, at least nobody enthusiast enough to watch mechanic videos... it was the GP... I feel like I've just been told off by Dad... "I'm not mad, just disappointed, stay off the damn air gates!!!" 🤣🤣🤣
Only joking :) Great video, and I thought you were spot on from the first video, have seen nothing to change my mind. Thank you.
Ha! My friend tells me I give off “dad vibes” 24/7 haha! Thank you.
Started testing this afternoon after oiling the chain, running it slow, running it fast - then with trains for a couple hours.
Nice
I enjoyed the intro!!
It looked like it was going to open tomorrow (Tuesday) as they had put out all the temporary queue lines out but I’m getting reports from someone that something has gone wrong
Here in Europe we have "mechanics" who normally got an engineer degree education for that specific work task for instance construction, technical assembly. Therefore we call those guys on the coasters, engineers for that reason alone.
And we have engineers who designs stuff, but they are often titled Design Engineers, technical engineer and so on.
Mechanics are usually for us in EU the people who handles engines and cars, boats among other things and they have various degrees of education dependent on how advanced the work is.
Oh okay that’s interesting. Thanks for filling me in! That’s always been a question I have had.
Another update, Thorpe have said it’s reopening on Wednesday the 12th of June
I swat that. Cool right!
Ha ha I loved it. I had a feeling you were making a video on this yesterday!!! I still think Hyperia is going to win the 2024 Down time challenge, ha ha!
Ooohhh what’s the prize to win? Or what’s runner up get?
@ryantheridemechanic winner gets bragging rights as the better park and manufacturer. Plus, what all parks want attendance and money, ha ha! The runner up, hmm not sure buy I'm pretty sure I'm starring at it right now.
@@LTCoasters I wonder if Thorpe would want to sell some stay off the air gates shirts haha!
@ryantheridemechanic ha ha those should be at all parks but they can start the trend.
Another great video Ryan. As soon as it opens again, I’ll be there to get another ride in. Wonder if the lift hill will sound a little quieter after this work as a few people were talking about how loud it sounded.
Great intro too - made me chuckle.
Thanks. I would be interested to know if it sounds better. I assume this would be the case.
@@ryantheridemechanic will head down next week if it’s open - I have footage from before. Even from car park on evening of press night it sounded loud
@@matb9027 interesting
So it broke again today 🤦🏼♀️ Fingers crossed it’ll try again tomorrow as we are going. Still yet to ride. This will be our third attempt🤞🏻
Jeeze good luck. Just some new ride issues/ Mack growing pains.
It seems like nobody can build anything properly anymore. Oh, and the air gates need air gates.
The beginning is a cinematic masterpiece
Your vision came across
Haha! Thanks I enjoyed that, put a smile on my face.
@@jordanlevesque9594 I think it’s funnier being the 3rd time. Like a series.
Great intro and insight into the possible issue (I say possible because we cant confirm :) I had a question, If it turns out they had to do a replacement of a part does that get replaced by Mack (or whatever coaster maker) at no cost as it's a new ride, or would the park have to pay the costs?
Those are kind of odd. There is money that already changed hands to get the cranes and workers out. So if it’s money Mack was not able to cover they could simply remove that cost from the price tag of the ride. (Backcharge kind of).
Hey Ryan, Thorpe's my home park and it's an incredible ride! I managed to get 3 rides on opening day. Your vids have been very informative while it's been closed so thanks! On opening day, the air gates were shutting down something and they had to send an empty train to reset it. Is that to do with air pressure or something else? It started testing today so how long do you think they'll have to test it for if it was the sprocket?
Personally I would run it through mid week before toying with the idea to open it. They might have made a replacement but there might still be an investigation as to why the components failed if not known in the first place.
HYPERIA VALLEYEDDD!!!!
I want a stay off the air gates shirt ! 😄
You can get one. I have other stuff as well. Lots of fun things to express yourself.

Bahaha another great intro!
Thanks!
Life’s good when you upload. Quick question about wooden coasters are the older ones like kennywoods wooden coasters, Coney Island cyclone really the same coaster as when they opened? I know the layout is the same but with all the wood they replace is there any original wood left? Is it a stretch to say they really are a century old? Thanks again
The old Ship of Theseus conundrum.
That’s kind of like ourselves right? Every cell in our body regenerates or is replace over a 10 year cycle. So after 4 cycles (myself) are we the same person? Deep right? Apply that to woodies. I would say they are the same. (In my opinion)
Ryan move over to the UK and work at Thorpe park please
That would be fun! Love to visit some day
There were two large boxes lifted and placed next to where the two sprockets are btw
Interesting. Photos or videos are hard to come by because it’s so far away in an awkward spot.
Do rides have a “warranty” period for instances like this to make necessary changes / updates?
It’s a complicated answer. I think I need to make a video about that one
Hi Ryan. I know that you're not the overlord of coasters...But with
Hyperia testing again what's your personal opinion on the probability that it will be open this Friday?
I depends on the problem. If they had a failed bearing and that don’t know why. It could be down for another week or two at least. If they know why the failure occurred, they could probably have it running for the weekend
I don't suppose you know what the financial situation is when a newly built rollercoaster has long periods of down time in its opening weeks and months? Does the manufacturer have any obligation to reimburse the park for lost revenue or similar?
Very dynamic response. There’s no average or mid ground. It all just depends how pissed off each side gets with the other. And the exact nature of the problem.
Will the expenses for the repairs be Mack's responsibility or the parks?
Probably Mack’s assuming it was Their problem. If it was a dud (bad) bearing, Mack would probably supply the bearing again for free but the cost of the crew to replace would land on the park. But it’s Avery open and unstable topic.
Can you talk about your computer chair? Is that a B&M seat? 😮
It’s an intamin impulse seat.
@@ryantheridemechanic I'm sure it was simple to make, but I would enjoy a quick video on that! Looks very cool and wish I something that unique to sit on for work.
Ryan can you make a gofundme or something for us to buy you a proper microphone and maybe anything else you need to make these videos happen?
Is it the fan hum? I had a ceiling fan on during this video. Wasn’t thinking of it. Or the intro? I didn’t even use a mic there.
which opens first? Hyperia or TT2?
I think TT2 did
@@ryantheridemechanic I guess I meant to say re-opens after repairs
From what I have seen the chain lift testing and the trains are in the station with the water dummies
Yay another video. Does this mean we don't get one tomorrow?
They announced it isn’t opening tomorrow.
Yes. My regular video will be out at 11cst (5.5hr from now) it’s a long one today
