@@alexius_1 😂 It is very funny
I loved watching this. Great to see Jack, Dominic and Kieran featuring in this as well.
No more no more John got me rolling around on the floor
Hahahahaha I am sure it is all for TV but it was proper funny.
I doubt it did
Straight lying 😂 it seriously wasnt that funny at all
@@pxnther1763 seriously lol 😆 ...were you rolling on the floor?.....I was rolling a boggie
I was rolling a joint lol 😂
Can’t wait to go on this whenever I go to Thorpe Park!
It is a fantastic coaster to have in the UK. Thorpe have got a really good line up of coasters now.
I can't wait to go to the moon whenever I go to the moon!
What an amazing trip. I love coasters like this. I especially love inversions.
Hyperia is definitely worth riding if you have not done already 👍
Hahaha brilliant “nO mOrE jOhN got me rolling from laughter” hyperia’s brilliant and the front row for the first ride is absolutely insane!!
Hahahaha - proper funny. It is a very special coaster with unique forces. Front row is incredible and my favourite.
@@davidsthemeparkadventures yes… I will be on hyperia the day after tomorrow!
@@Georgeoglander Fantastic, hope you have a great day 👍
@@davidsthemeparkadventures thx
I went last month,as soon as I got off it,I ran straight bck in the queue line,it’s brillant,the layout is SO unique,I love the theming and gosh that thing was zooming up the lift hill 😂. It’s so intimidating yet so fun!
It is a fantastic, ride I am glad you enjoyed it. You are right is it very unique with the amount of airtime and the lift hill is super fast!
It’s soo good I went on it last week
Glad you enjoyed it. I thought it was amazing for a 1.2m height requirement. Very smooth great forces.
3:37 Jack was having a great time 😂
🤣🤣 that is a huge grin! Fair play to Jack we watched his excellent Hyperia construction series and have met him a couple of times. He is such a nice guy and always has time to chat to fans
@@davidsthemeparkadventures Same i watched every hyperia construction video and met him on hyperias opening day
@@gavinclark3012Awesome, we saw him on opening day as well, we only had a very quick chat and a photo as he was working and looked absolutely knackered poor guy. 😅
Ngl I was crying with laughter when I realised how easily it would be able to tell the enthusiasts to the non-enthusiasts 😂
🤣🤣🤣 thossies stand out like a sore thumb
I’m suddenly eager to ride it, I’ve always been way too scared, but suddenly I want to.
You should definitely give it a go, it is an amazing experience. Worst case just shut your eyes.
@@davidsthemeparkadventures yeah 😂 I’ll try to get on it when I go in October
@@x.Laura2023.x You can do it 🙌 It looks far more scary than it is.
I'd never get on one of these its too intense
It is intense but great fun. You can always work your way up to Hyperia by starting off with small coasters and building up.
Him saying Johns name throughout the ride was a bit too much 🤣🤣
No more John 🤣🤣🤣
I feel like news companies use new rides as a kind of form of hazing for less experienced reporters but it's fun so i don't mind
I agree, I think that is exactly what they do. Makes for more entertaining TV for the general public.
No more? This hyper coaster is amazing but way too short imo. If this coaster had an extra 2 to 3 elements with an extra 500 to 1k feet of track, it could be one of the top ten coasters in the world.
No more John 🤣🤣 I agree it is a great coaster but it could be improved if the trim brake in the splash down was removed and it had a few more elements before the brake run.
his soul left his body HAHAHA
🤣🤣🤣
john hire me i beg wait a sec is he single
🤣🤣🤣
12 seconds of airtime they say at the park and everywhere else on the loop im talking about yet the designer just said 4 ???
Yeah, having ridden Hyperia it is definitely more than 4 seconds. The Outerbank alone is more than 4 seconds, let alone the stall.
He said 4 seconds of hangtime, airtime is when your out of your seat in general.
Just over 14 seconds of hangtime to be exact 😊and it is fantastic 👌🏿 I'm going again this year 18/10/24
Looks like the host thought he was applying to a different kind of BBC when he applied
🤣🤣🤣
0:45 backwards seat confirmed?
LOL
No
Close your eyes and its a different kind of video.
LOL
Bros face🫠🫠😟😥😡🙆♂️"no more no more john"
🤣🤣🤣 no more John 🙈
I'm really not a fan of how they give John all the credit for this ride, as if he fully designed the layout instead of being part of the decision of which of the 9 Mack designed layouts they would use.
I agree, JB is the creative lead for Merlin but it is Mack Rides who are the rollercoaster designers who acted on Merlin’s brief. For the general public it probably made better TV to keep the concept simple and have JB as the overall designer of all elements.
I would love to see an in depth documentary of the project with Mack and JB explaining the whole design and implementation process.
Why'd they have to send the biggest melt possible to film this?
Typical TV format, I suppose it wouldn’t be quite as entertaining to the general public if they sent someone who wasn’t scared of it.
90 minutes I queued and then they closed it 🤣 maybe next time!
Oh no! What a disaster. Hope you get to ride it soon.
Went on satuday if you willing to queue for 2 hrs go for it.
Fantastic, glad you got to ride it. Hopefully the queues will be a bit shorter next year.
Digital Dan
Digital Dan is one of my favourites. Met him a number of times, really nice guy.
I wouldn't do this because of no over head shoulder restraints, i'm also very slim and although your lower body is looked in place, your upper body isn't and I would not feel happy with that at all, shame becuas otherwise I would of ridden it. I have done a small height coaster with this type of seat and I didn't like it at all, felt like my upper body was coming forward. I also remember drayton manor parks stand up coaster and being so slim there was still room between where the restraints stopped and my slim body finished, i kept moving a bit the whole time and becuase of it I ad to hold on so hard, it hurt my hands after really bad, my, muscles pulled for days from holding on.
Maybe give the test seat a try or ride Icon at Blackpool first as it has the same seats. This is made by Mack Rides and the seats are very comfortable and supportive. David is very small and slim being 10 years old and he is very secure in the seat due to the wrap around design. Would be a shame to miss out on it as it is an amazing ride. You can push your upper body back into the seat by when you hold onto the handles on the restraint. Don’t let the stand up coaster at Drayton put you off, that one is very old and had strange restraints.
@@davidsthemeparkadventures obviously didn't read my comment enough I did say i've tried similar seats and small coaster an didn't feel safe, an my upper body was flying aruond all over the place! this is dangerous in my opinion at that height not to have over head restraints! won't do it for that reason alone!
@Traybuff if it was dangerous, it wouldn't be operating. Good luck on your theme park journey.
@@TraybuffI did read your comment, i was suggesting maybe trying out the test seat or Icon at Blackpool Pleasurebeach as not all lap bar seats are the same. This is a Mack Rides coaster and the seats are excellent, the bar is very Chucky and holds you in securely. You can brace the top half off your body using the bars on the restraint.
When i saw BBC i thought of something different in the title
🧐🤣🤣
From the sounds of it while he was on the ride, he was imagining something different too
Haha got there before you lol
I cant edit the comment for some reason but I checked and the video is exactly the same length as mine don’t steal it from me what’s you’re problem
This is a direct copy from iPlayer, you can tell they are different as mine is 4k and yours is not. Technically neither of us own this content anyway.
I'm sick of the 'iS It sAfE??????'
🤣🤣🤣 same, such a stupid question. 🙈
Can’t be that good fuckin things broke every ten minutes
🤣🤣 It is great when it works. Hopefully it will be more reliable next season
@@davidsthemeparkadventures When TP staff aren't playing at being engineers you mean and following the actual instructions when sending testing trains?
@@Adam-eh1qdI would love to know more about this, as surely a new coaster shouldn’t need to be sent round with water dummies every morning. Not an engineer but, normally the correct combination of wheel compounds is enough to achieve the correct speed.
lol he didn’t even look
LOL - the view is one of the best parts
😂😂😂
No more John 🤣🤣
"the whole point of a roller coaster is to create the illusion of danger" is one of the stupidest things ive heard
Hyperia does that very well with the height, lapbars and the fact to spend a fair amount of time out of your seat. The show is definitely designed more for the general public and for entertainment. Good to see it on TV still though.
