[2024] Thorpe Park: Hyperia - Mack Hypercoaster

[Bowser]

Back on the app now… 240 minute queue!

That’s probably the peak? Nemesis in the lead still.

275 to beat if I remember correctly?

 

[BarryZola]

Just been on. Great fun. Really enjoyed it. Tempted to say it's better than Nemesis, but not sure if I can confirm after only one ride. Was in row 6. Got this cool little certificate thing too

Yep. It’s gone down so that might boost its chances.

Run!

 

[George W]

Not to worry, it's walk on now.

 

[tactic]

Can confirm it is not 240 mins. I got here at 8:10am and am still a good 2 hours from the front…

tbf even if there was no one else there you could spend that long navigating the queue judging by last nights videos

That queue line is absurd.

 

[Bowser]

Up to 300! Nemesis vanquished

It will be interesting to see what time the last ride is tonight if they are going to keep the queue line open till 8pm.

 

[Mhoowee]

We have a winner!

Nemesis has a higher throughput however.

Nemesis has a higher throughput however.

Does it? I know Nemesis has a higher theoretical throughput, but it does seem as though dispatches have slowed down a bit post-retrack. I wouldn’t be surprised if Hyperia, with a theoretical of 1,050pph, could give Nemesis a run for its money on one of its slower days; I’ve heard that the throughput on 2 trains is proving quite decent thus far!

Operations on Nemesis were very inconsistent when I personally went (I logged a 1,300pph average on one set of timings and a less than 900pph average on another), and I’ve heard quite a few anecdotes recalling quite slow dispatches on Nemesis since the retrack.

To anyone on park today, any tips for me for tomorrow? (I will arrive 1 hr early)

Get there 3 hours early

I’m not in the park but I’d suggest bringing something with you to eat and drink in the queue. It’s going to be looooong…

We joined the queue for security at 7:30am. At nearly 12pm, we are nearing the entrance plaza for the ride.

1 hour early is probably too late looking at that. It's a working day today. Id expect Saturday to be much the same

You can’t judge operations on opening day, the ride is swarming with managers. Nemesis was pounding out trains on opening day too.

Dispatch time will be similar for both rides but Nemesis takes more passengers per train.

Was that with or without a bag?
