[2024] Thorpe Park: Hyperia - Mack Hypercoaster

[AndyG]

Hi all,

First post, so hopefully done this correctly!

I had a walk down monk's walk today and here are a few photos...

More work has been done on the second tower for the overbanked turn (?) at the back of the site...

Additional steel work has gone up for the station and they've started the vertical construction for the maintenance building...

Thank you for the great update.

I don’t like how some of the lower supports are white instead of gold… Why the lack of consistency?

I agree. In my opinion, it is quite strange and annoying.

I think its looking quite a mess with the colour scheme don't know what they are thinking. hopefully once more tack is up it will make sense...

I really don't understand it one bit!!

Is it a mistake as from the promos and concept art the white is never at the bottom?

Not making any judgement until its all built but does seem a bit odd.

They could repaint those sections if need be when all the track/supports are up. It's hard to tell whether it's intentional or not.

Going back to enthusiasts discussion, I feel the amount of enthusiasts in the UK has grown over the last decade, with social media being a large factor and the rise of 'vloggers' appearing left right and centre. I agree with Tim that you should pick one vlogger you like and stick to them for updates. Maybe avoid ones on update 70.

Looks like any piece that only barely went above the height for the white sections to start weren't painted at all. You'd hope that once completed they can paint the parts gold up to the allowed height.

When is hyperia supposed to open?

Promos and concept art are 100% not the "definitive" look of any project. If there is a mistake here, it's in the promo material (which, let's be honest, is rarely accurate).

Who knows.

I'd be surprised if it is ready for opening day looking at the progress so far but for all we know they could even be ahead of schedule.

Think May/June is more likely.

 

[James]

Later in the year would work well alongside marketing. Alton Towers can run a national campaign for Nemesis opening in March, then Thorpe can follow with a national campaign for Hyperia opening in May/June.

Was lucky enough to have a chat with 2 construction workers they said Thorpe wanted a March opening but it's looking like May is the most likely month to open.

The Hyperia page on the Thorpe website has this handy option encouraging people to book tickets. Click it and it will offer you tickets from 24th March onwards.

Now I know they have clauses to get them out of things yada yada, but if they aren’t planning to get it open by March this is a rather underhand tactic.

Never fear again?

Have you seen some of the contraptions I have ridden?!

 

[Benjsh]

Just walking around Thorpe with the clientele is enough to keep you up at night.

 

[ItsAllGood]

Another day another James post? Shocking..

Watched the sun set over Hyperia tonight, cause why not

The second tower for the inversion is almost at its full height

The maintenance bay is making good progress (interesting that the supports holding the support bit of track are metal beams?

It really does, and it's not even at full height yet! Bonkers.
