[2024] Thorpe Park: Hyperia - Mack Hypercoaster

[George W]

Not the most spacious station maybe similar size to icons,I just really hope they aren't assigning rows I know a free for all can make things awkward but I love having the freedom to go wherever I want, obviously there will be a front row queue regardless.

Futher to Jack's photos (shared by @djtruefitt ) there's been a full Hyperia Construction update & more photos posted by Thorpe. In the comments someone asked if it would be as themed as Swarm, Thorpe confirmed it would be more along the lines of Stealth. Trains are fully built but they're waiting before they bring them to site and have commented to say although the station looks small in photos, it's very similar in size to the other coaster stations

Bag storage on the station as well, I would guess the same system as Icon

DC Rivals Hypercoaster at Movieworld has a similarly small station too. But that has the spinny belonging storage pods.

That brake run shot <3

Ignore me... totally misread.
Lift hill starting soon lol

Thorpe have confirmed on a comment that it will have the Mack style baggage system (blue fire, icon, etc).

 

[George W]

Those work great but I did see someone pull the closed side open and grab a bottle on icon, granted it was probably theirs that they left but it did break my sense of security a little

For once... im happy a ride doesnt have a proper bag room!

The Mack bag system is good and all but it doesn't really do all that much in terms of helping operations. If you really want high capacity (and you're not EP) then guests should store their bags before boarding.

What is this system? Are there any examples in the UK?

Icon has this system. Basically there's enough shelves for 1 per train, with all except one covered up and when the train despatches the flap covering the shelves moves to hide train 1's baggage and open up the shelf for train 2.

 

[Tim]

I like them, but they aren't anything fancy or cleaver. They are just like the old sliding cage doors all the pre-Merlin SWs use, but automated with the arrival of the trains.

They work really well on Blue Fire when in 2 station mode as you load your bag one side and collect it on the other as you are leaving.

Update from that southerner again..

The lift hill structure is looking good! Don't think it will take long to build this structure but don't think we will see the lift hill track be installed for another week or two yet.

Saw a few supports fly into place tonight in a short space of time.

The station exit / start of the ride is getting some gold stripes added to it.

The maintenance area looks interesting. I like how the track just ends and curves in

Can't wait to see this ride testing but I know we're a long way off yet..

Thorpe Park have confirmed that lift hill construction will begin next week and take 3-4 weeks, so the track should be completed in early March:

With this in mind, I’d be banking on an opening in May at this point.

This coaster seems to be taking an age to go up.

 

[George W]

Yea I wasn't expecting it to take from October to March.

Any idea what team are working on it? I know RCS are over at Drayton and the progress they have made is very impressive. Am I right to guess this is the same people who worked on Nemesis?

Who signed off on the cigarette-themed supports?
