When you said Slammer was closed for 10 years, I thought at first “Heh, funny exaggeration” until I realised it’s *actually been closed for 10 years*
Crazy huh 🤯
Really sorry you didn't get on Hyperia. I'm not super tall but I'm definitely too tall for Colossus's restraints. That ride is beyond painful.
It sure is!
Everyone's too tall for Colossus' restraints! I'm 6'2" and can handle it on the front if I stick my head forward
Me & my daughter were there on Tuesday. Hyperia seems to have settled down now & was running all day. We enjoyed it, some great elements. Only had one shot as the que was a 90min wait. We got all the big coasters & another last ride on Stealth on the front row which we'd never had its the best place for that ride.
Sounds like a great day 😃
@coaster_dad it was even though it was light rain all day. Glad you finally got on Collosus, it's always been running when we've been down so guess you were just unlucky.
Great channel, great content! Thanks!
Thank you so much. 😀
I’ve done hyperia and done back row twice and it’s unreal it’s truest amazing hopr you love it when you get to ride it next year
Oh I’m sure I will. Everyone has similar stories 😀
Sorry you didn't get on Hyp. Glad you got on some rides though and finally colossus. I've still not been on it as when I go it's always down lol
Ha ha not just me then 😂
@coaster_dad No. I've been trying randomly since it opened. Last tried last year. An hour into travelling seen it was closed for the day so went towers instead and sold my thorp tickets. I might try again one day.
I hope you get that work meeting down south soon and can pop into thorpe for hyperia then rather than waiting until next year!
Aye fingers crossed 🤞
I’ve fallen out of the habit of going to the park right after a new rollercoaster opens. I tried it once in 2005 and again in 2012, but both times I encountered the same issue: either there were too many people or the rollercoaster wasn’t running. That’s why I now skip every new ride and try it a year later. It might not be a novelty anymore, but at least it’s operational.😅
Fair. I did that with ghost train and mandrill mayhem. But that was because I badly timed them last year 😂
I went a month ago and only 4 major coasters were open. No Hyperia of course and no saw
😔
You've joined the long list of dissapointed people
Aye it’s such a shame it’s has a rocky start because those who have been on it all sing its praises!
This is why i aint drove down from Glasgow yet...Hyperia is just far to unreliable at this moment in time. Im going to hold off until September they if Mack and Thorpe can sort the issues out.
I knew the risks but it was a disappointment. Hope you get on it if you do go 😀
A long way to travel to find rides closed or just abandoned, no wait it's run by merlin so sounds about right. Gonna have to ask for pov or rider cam please as bumps up the emersion factor big time. Good viewing otherwise
Yeah sadly Merlin don’t typically allow on ride filming unless you jump through a ton of hoops 🙈
Haven’t even bothered to watch after watching Theme Park Review’s amazing Hyperia review and footage just uploaded. They’re the biggest RUclips channel on theme parks. No one wants to know about your 400 mile journey!!! Fly to Heathrow and get a quick taxi! Probably cheaper. Sorry you didn’t get on it but best leave it til it’s more reliable before such a journey. In the meantime there’s always M&D’s! Why put such a downer on the brilliant Hyperia just cos you had an 800 mile wasted trip 😂
M&Ds 😂 I looked at flying but it was significantly more expensive than two tanks of petrol 🤷♂️
