- Thorpe Park OPENED HYPERIA on the 24th of May, for one day... but this ride has been known to be a fast paced, airtime machine. Is that true? Today i discuss my honest opinion on the coaster, with its layout, smoothness, airtime moments and even the theming and landscaping.. join me as i go through my honest review of Hyperia, the UK's tallest and fastest rollercoaster.

I'd give my honest thoughts, but it's, uh, closed.
Fair enough
TT2 Moment
I was going to do an honest thoughts video but I couldn’t for that exact reason
Just glad the burger king isn't shut, would be livid.
not anymore 👏
"I am now a floor specialist you know!"
It was great to meet you on opening day, and thank you for having a photo with my son he is a mega fan @typicalcofficial , We had 2 rides on Hyperia, both in row 2, 1 ride was very much OMG what just happened, second ride again was OMG what just happened but with a bit more clarity, I would agree with you overall, other than expanding that the trim breaks on the splash down make sense to give you the feeling as you splash down just like on tidal wave, however the water jets timing is too delayed and would be good if you had a little spray land on you to give that feeling of just going into water, I would probably back off the trim break a little, this ride is just incredible and is both our UK number 1 Coaster, with no doubt, for us followed by Nemesis Reborn and then the Smiler. Hyperia is plain and simply just Epic, we are soo lucky to have this ride in the uk and within an hour from where we live.
Was great to meet you all! Glad we agree (mostly) 😂🔥
I’ve had what’s probably the worst day for me, so to see you uploaded has made me smile! Thank you Dan 😊
Ah I’m sorry to hear you had a bad day! Hope you’re feeling better now! 🙏🏻
Great review!! 🙂 You're right about the surrounding area looking like a cesspit, but honestly I was having so much fun I barely even noticed 🤣 it's a cracking coaster! I think with time they'll give the scenery a bit of TLC, and it'll look much better.
Thank you!! And yeah fingers crossed, not too keen on the construction site theming 😂🔥
Holy wow I didn't expect to see myself in your queue footage. That's funny we were queued up so close.
Dan i cant believe you are so close to 70k I remember watching you when you had 40k and I'm so excited for the future of the channel!!!
It is crazy! Am so grateful 🙏🏻
i remember watching at like 2k and thinking "this guy is so underrated"
Was due to ride it today but moved our dates back to end of June with the hope of it being fully operational by then. Can't wait! I want to feel like I'm flyinnnnggggg!
Great review 👍, hyperia look absolutely EPIC, I really look forward to riding hyperia!!!!
Thank you! It’s amazing, couldn’t recommend it more!
Our family waited an eye watering 6.5h on opening day to ride. In my honest opinion the chain lift is very noisy and it needs more theming in the line. The ride itself was amazing. The seating was very comfortable and the airtime was one of the best I’ve experienced. I can’t wait to ride again. Best part of opening day was meeting you though!
Nice one. Even though I will most likely never ride it, this looks increadible
how come?
@@RoPo2005if he’s like me he lives in another country
Keep Up The amazing Videos Dan!
I cannot wait to ride it, I went to thorpe today and they were using a crane and a cherry picker to work on it!
had my hyperia debut yesterday and it was soo cool!! got on the first train of the day and honestly i was purely terrified the entire time but we went on it another 2 times later and i loved it!!! best part has to be the first drop, its insane! great ride
There better be a Front Row queue for Goldrush!
🤞🏻🤞🏻
There will be a front row queue its been announced in a thorpe video
@@Sir_collosuss For Drayton Manors new coaster?
Hi dan great video😁😁😁 i love your channel 👍👍👍I'm so excited for when I go to thorpe park in the summer holidays fingers crossed hyperia reopens🤞🤞🤞
Thank you! I’m sure it will be open by then, so enjoy!!
Wow I am so glad I went on opening. I got 2 rides in (one backseat!) and a picture with Dan! Has to be the best coaster in Europe!
Was great to meet you! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
The editing on this is brilliant 🎉
5:25 the cat 😂😂
🤣
That’s dans meal later
2:03 i can confirm you are the first floor specialist i have ever seen 😂
Me and my friend literally went a week before I opened and we suddenly bummed we couldn't go on there obviously I've not experienced hyperia myself but I would probably agree with you I hope we get to go on there some day also love your videos ❤
Great video keep it up . Also great to see Jack Grealish in the line for the ride . 3 minutes 33 in . That is what he is doing this summer .
I loved it to be honest. It was so epic, seats were so comfortable, the ride was incredibly smooooooth and exciting. Love the airtime, my heart races! ;p
I'm lucky enough to have ridden el toro, which many people say has the best drop in the world at the moment. I can't wait to get a ride on this and see if it's better at fright night.
1:12 now that a rollercoaster enthusiasts if u ever heard one 🤓🤓😂😂
this has finally convinced me to plan to go to thorpe park for my birthday this year! it's my 18th so my parents can't complain about the drive😭 I just hope hyperia is open when I go because this looks sick
Fingers crossed it is open when you visit! It’s so good!
It was great to meet u that day hope you liked the keyring my brother coastersuno gave you snd marcus
It was very cool! Was great to meet you too!! 😊
I just rode it for the first time, got to be pretty close to the back and it just doesnt stop, theres basically no downtime between forces, as soon as one ends youre thrown into the next one, and that first drop is absolutely legendary
Love it, but every time I rode it I did think "It does the best it possibly can for it's length, but is a bit short"
That’s what she said.
I think we should call the outer bank into a roll the " Burton stall " or the " Burton roll" to pay armige to the lad who made such a masterpiece
After riding it on opening day, i still can't comprehend what a ride it is, it's unbelievable and imo of the rides I've done it's worlds best
Hi Dan, a great Video and thanks for haring your thoughts, it's greatly appreciated. Cheers Peter :)
Thank you for watching!
As someone whos somehow ended up on Hyperia 3 times so far, and front row twice. I have to say its the best coaster Ive ever been on lol. My friends all reviewed it as Fantastic, and one thought it was way different from even swarm or stealth. He was so impressed about it lol. Its incredible, feels so safe and its so nice. Obviously queues suck, but it was so nice to ride.
Terrifying ride, the drop nearly gave me a heart attack and I was in the front row, add to that the pouring rain that I rode it in, I didn’t enjoy it one bit and my onside pic looks like I’ve seen a 👻 🤣
I think they should call the outer bank the Rick Roll, and the dive loop the Loggers Loop.
We were able to ride it opening day 😁 it's definitely our #1 in the UK!
Wow I'm early. Good video is expected as always Dan! You make my day
Thank you so much!!
It’s been open all day today, rode smooth as glass and was very very impressive. Got three rides including the back row. Was and is great.
great video man
Thank you!!
I visited today and it looked insane. Now I can say that I haven't ridden the two largest coasters I have seen in person.
Yoo hi Dan love your vids. Keep it up!
Thank you!!
Alton towers you get a a lot of theming in and around the area before you go on the ride.
Thorpe park “come and get your high vis on lad we got work to do”
I think they should have left the opening longer. As much as everyone wanted to ride as soon as possible they should've left more time for more interesting theming and a better station building. The landscaping doesn't bother me that much but the lack of theming does
Love ur vids
Thanks!!
I went to Thorpe on Monday and was so hyped for hyperia, but the day before we got the news about it breaking 💀💀💀😭😭😭
i flew to the uk to ride hyperia last saturday and got the news about the closing time one day after ive arrived…
Digital Dan is the best
Yo I’m excited to ride it I really like your channel
Thank you!!
Hi🖐 I've ridden Hyperia and Voltron, and I have to honestly say that I like Voltron a little better. But both are world-class roller coasters. Voltron 9/10 Hyperia 8/10 Sorry but that's my personal opinion😉 Other people may see it differently. Respect to Mack Rides for these two works of art👌As always, great video from you, thank you👍
Voltron is way better in my opinion too! Thanks for watching! 😊
Going in September I hope the teething issues are fixed, can't wait! Heard it's quite intense!
Rode twice today, was awesome. That first drop and then outer bank that turns into an inversion 👌
Oh I just realised! Well, I kind of saw it before but a light bulb moment when you said - look at that first drop. It isn't just a big Sky Rocket II drop people... it's MORE THAN VERTICAL, at the same time as twisting 180 degrees. Oh John Burton (not Wardley - maybe Merlin in UK have a pre-requisite for designing their rides - you must be called John!) - but yeah you knocked it out the park.
Of COURSE you're out of the seat the entire drop, it's just physics. He really thought about maximising this airtime eh. Hats off.
Just take a look at a side on pic of Hyperia's drop people...
YOO DAN I LOVE YOUR VIDS
Thank you!!
Hi Dan, Are you going to Drayton On Opening day for Goldrush?
i’m going on the 9th of June! hopefully it’s open 🤞🏻🤞🏻
That 9,001-mile-long switchback queue is giving me Rita flashbacks.
i had to wait 3 hours in that queue..
is it better then taron???
i went to phantasia land this half term and taron is my new number 1
I would personally say I prefer Taron, but a lot of that has to do with the theming 😊
Hey Dan, great video! What are 5 things that make the perfect coaster?
Brilliant views of Woking from the lift hill I’m sure 😍
When are you coming to Ireland? I'd love to hear your thoughts on Emerald Park!
Supposed to be going soon but unsure when currently!!
That drop is just mental!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sadly the Single Rider hack has got out, I was in there for 45 minutes today. But I did get Row 10 for my first ride so, swings and roundabouts.
Hello vlog king
Here are my CLOSED Thoughts on Hyperia
Icon has those horrible restraints that get tighter throughout the ride until you are being crushed by the end.
I haven’t been on it but in my opinion the scariest part is when you’re on the lift hill and you realise there’s no going back🤣
Always the case for any ride really. Scary until you're moving
the unnamed element is the M3 fling as stated by you.
😂😂
Really hope it opens soon
"Health and safety shouldn't exist-" lmao took me out 💀
Hi Dan love your vids
Thank you!!
@@DigitalDan how do you record and edit your videos?
13th of July, that’s the day I get to ride it 🔥
I was expecting the ride to be faster and more intense track to be added. Its a 6/10 for this one
They needed to rush it through for the season I’m sure they will add more themes to it
"Health and safety shouldn't exist. Wait no, I didn't say tha-"

Brooo I was gonna go last Friday mannn to see if you was gonna be there but my mum didn’t have the money😭
Get Dan in the sidemen charity match😂
Overall as a total experience, better than Nemesis Reborn .?
I would love to go on it but I've been there twice since opening of hyperia and I couldn't go on it because it was shut😢😢😢 one day.
i haven't been on hyperia yet but cant wait to rid it at some point
I want to ride it but my craziest coaster at the moment is rockin roller coaster sitting at a whole 2 inversions also it’s closed
Agree that the theming is a huge letdown, especially when it’s in the same park as rides like Swarm and Saw. It feels unfinished.
That's because it is unfinished...
You say that but Swarm and Saw are literally the only 2 rides with good theming, Thorpe park has the worst theming of any Merlin park, there rides have a little the park as a whole basically doesn't

Is the outer bank inversion not just an inverted horseshoe element?
You should you do this for Voltron or maybe like fly or taron
Think Voltron will be the next one!
Others: DigitalDan!
Me: He’s The GOAT!
I think it’s paving - isn’t the word ‘floor’ for indoor buildings only?
Hi dan, thank so much for the vid. Do you think hyperia will be open by the 8th-9th??
They were installing the new part yesterday and probably will be today, so fingers crossed that means it’s on schedule for the 8th 🤞🏻
@DigitalDan ❤️ hopefully. I'm going on the 9th so I hope so
Hi Dan do you have much themepark merch? If you do and you don’t mind can you do a vid of all ur merch
You can see some of my merch in this video here - th-cam.com/users/shortsLVPrXVxA9KQ?si=0oFk7eZ4WW3l5hHO
Thanks for the review Dan! Really enjoyed the full review. I think that the ride itself is quite intense, the best element is probably the outerbank thingy.
Thank you! It’s so good!! 😍
Fingers crossed it's open for June 12th
5.24 your cat seemed to like the trains
5:29 what’s the cat called?
I'll go on it soon
I LOVE U UR SO so funny you’re not my favourite TH-cam ever keep up the good work
Wait is that Bimini at 3:26?!
My girlfriend just confirmed it was and is fuming that I didn’t notice 😂
3:27 is that Bimini ?!?
Great ride. From the back that first drop is super intense. The outerbank turn is weird because with the inversion it feels like its turning left but we know it's actually a right handed turn.
The splashdown you cant see any water when on the ride - they need it to splash earlier (and get you wet).
The music in the queue line is too loud (I may just be old). A 2 hour queue with that music and base blaring away is just too much. Turn it down please Thorpe Park.
The best in the uk!!!
Your jokes actually are funny
I mean share those views from the top ;), convince the park to stick a 360 cam on the coaster (once its fixed)
1:12Oooo it goes up and down OOOOOOO!💀💀💀💀💀🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
