[2024] Thorpe Park: Hyperia - Mack Hypercoaster

[Alix]

That’s definitely an April fools post gone too early!

Has to be. If it's serious someone is a complete arsehole. Substitute the word vegan for any other protected belief and there would be uproar.

The name 'Ava Kado' in the post is the clearest giveaway.

Well spotted our zeock! Was so blind with protein deficient rage didn't see that

I had a fly hit me the eye on the Stealth launch - no joke, that was painful! Unfortunately for vegans, if they do swallow a fly they'll be unable to fix it by then swallowing a spider, bird, cat, dog, etc...... These are the problems vegans face everyday...

 

[Alix]

Looks like vegans can't ride Hyperia today anyway as she's thrown a strop again... Been testing but still not open. Gah.

Pales into insignificance compared to the struggle to find vegan cake at towers...

For those amongst us that thought Hyperia had too little theming...fear not.

The multi billion pound global bemouth that is Merlin Entertainments have sprung into action.

They've popped to the local garden centre and purchased one lowly metal flamingo(?) and plonked it in the ride area.

Problem solved folks.

It's certainly no goose.

Or evil ducks.

Surely that’s not supposed to be there right?

Hyperia having another day off today then. It says "closed" on the app rather than "delayed opening", so maybe they're waiting on a part, or for Mack to come and investigate?

It keeps getting stuck at the base of the lift hill. Hopefully not another major issue

Lots of issues with the lift so far this year it seems. Do feel sorry for them as it’s continuing to be a nightmare for them to operate.

Swarm in comparison has probably had a handful of closed days since it opened over 10 years ago, pretty sure it didn’t have a single day closed in its first couple seasons.

The ride is testing with less dummies and a staff member has just rode it.

Hyperia is due to open imminently today.

It's called a design issue.

Which is it???

Same thing happened on Friday and it was dead again after 15 minutes of operating.

Both a single staff member and two water dummies

UPDATE: Hyperia is open

At what point do Thorpe actually bring a claim against Mack for this? Shocking how poor it’s been reliability wise and as much as my default position would be to blame Merlin, to be fair everything else seems to be running fine.

 

[Matt N]

I find it unusual how unreliable the ride has been given that Mack aren’t typically known for building unreliable rides.

Hyperia is brilliant, but in hindsight, maybe the B&M might have been a better bet from a reliability standpoint…

 

[Call_um]

Didn't last long, queue has now been exaced. Same issue.

What on earth did they do to the lift hill over closed season ...
