Thorpe Park: General Discussion

[Zeock]

Hyperia is an OK choice, I suppose. It seems a little bit bland. Echoing people above me, I am glad that it's not an IP.

 

[Thameslink Rail]

Hyperia and Hyperion, that won't get confusing

 

[GooseOnTheLoose]

Hmmm.

Not exactly inspiring as a name but it could be worse…. It could be an IP.

Yeah, I know I was grasping at straws and being amusing with The Gods of Egypt: The Ride, or The John Wick: The Ride, but I'm relieved not another IP is being shoe horned in at Thorpe.

 

[QTXAdsy]

Hyperia...uh, OK.

Hyperia is an OK choice, I suppose. It seems a little bit bland. Echoing people above me, I am glad that it's not an IP.

As bland as a ride called Icon that fails to have both iconic theming or ride experience. It's smooth, it's clean, it's bland.

 

[BooMT]

Not in love with the name. Bit of an anti-climax!

 

[Skyscraper]

Sounds too similar to Hyperion tbh...

 

[benpicko]

It's so people accidentally come to Thorpe Park instead of Energylandia

 

[MellowPasta]

Majority of guests won’t have any idea Hyperion exists to be fair unless you’re an enthusiast…or Polish

 

[Poisson]

Colour scheme still looks hideous and the video feels like an Icon publicity video....if they ever did one

 

[BooMT]

Thorpe have said "Hyperias story is yet to be told..."

 

[Danny]

Knew there would be some form of IP or partnership buried in there somewhere. Find Your Fearless? Even the colour scheme is the same.

Spoiler

From Thorpes FB post, we'll have to wait and see where this goes;



Edit: @BooMT beat me to it

Anything but her

And there are already other contenders at Thorpe for confusion, namely Nemesis: Inferior.

 

[Willemgorman1]

Theming hint… ‘Hyperia’ is a goddess

 

[Tom]

Bad...but good in a non-IP kinda way.

 

[GooseOnTheLoose]

I'm so gutted on Jack Silkstone's behalf that they didn't let him do the naming announcement, in a hard hat, on site. After 38 Exodus, sorry Hyperia, update videos with nothing to report, you would have thought they might have thrown him a bone!

Find your fearless?

I don’t get it.
