A POV of the insane hyper coaster coming to Thorpe Park with a backwards facing seat. Statistics: Height: 236ft (72m) Speed: 81mph (130km/h) Length: 3,365 ft (1,026m)
When you think about it . Swarm brave it backwards is one of the most requested returns for Thorpe park so it would make sense to add a backwards seat wether it would be first year or not is another question
Apprently it was removed following from the smiler accident, in terms of what would happen in the case of a similar incident the back row is less protected to forward facing
not immediately but probably in a few years. Don't know if it's still actually on icon but the spinning car on icon was fun and I think it's more of a marketing opportunity
I thought about how it's a mack ride and so is icon and icon added spinning seats so I was thinking thorpe might do the same to hypira it would make the UKs tallest backwards spinning expircince markets it's self for the park

That drop backwards would be criminal. The forces would be unlike any ride in existence
Backward? Eh
Spinning? Now we are talking!
i dont think you would get much spin also ive ridden both dc rivals backwards and steel tipan spining seat and dc rivals backwards was better
thats probably becuase dc rivals is the better ride
imagine it as a 4d coaster
NOOOP THIS IS TOO DANGEROUS
It would be amazing
It’s been confirmed that there won’t be backward seats, the back 2 seats will be used for ride access pass if i remember correctly
mack hypercoasters have a option for backwards seat and we know merlin and their advertising, they most likely will do it
not immediately but probably in a few years.

Backward coasters are fun if you ask me
im in australia and we have the dc rivals hypercoaster which has backwards seats. Crazy experience
That would be a great option.
Epic
Do what it would look like with a spinning back seat

I really hope it will
It's been confirmed on their pass holder group not to be have a backwards or spinning row

Swear this one is closed
I’ve only done backwards seats on mandrill mayhem and as you can imagine from the layout, bar the scorpion tail it wasn’t very exciting
you should do “hyperia if it was longer than 3 seconds”
I actually made an extended layout! It's here: th-cam.com/video/KDkVzFuc3Zs/w-d-xo.html
More like what if it had a spinning seat.
This is exactly what I thought, too. Would make this ride absolutely nuts.
I’d actually be pretty disappointed if they didn’t do this
Be disappointed then as this won't be happening
ironic
💀
Bad recreation tho
