The thing with a B&M Hyper is the space that is needed.
It was evident that Merlin wanted to keep largely to the Canada Creek area and as a result, any B&M Hyper may have been limited in what it can do.
If Merlin were able to use other sites, it could've gone all the way to the old Treasure Island site behind Rumba Rapids. That would've been fantastic as it would've been one of the longest coasters in Europe and possibly the world.
If it was on the site of Thorpe Shark Cabins and possibly The Swarm, it had the potential to go onto the car park similar to Silver Star at Europa Park.
With Hyperia (Project Exodus), we've got a unique hypercoaster that puts Thorpe Park on the map and appears to be attracting enthusiasts around the world in a way that Nemesis did in 1994.
I don't think this means that the UK will never get a B&M Hyper, it means either it'll be higher than Hyperia, it'll be at a park making a risk or it'll be a lower height and less conventional one (I always thought the Cross Valley coaster could be revived as a B&M Hyper).
