Reliability is so bad at this park. Three rides in 5 hours due to constant mechanical issues. This park is extremely overrated.

The Gerst would have been OK with lapbars, but it's been confirmed to have OTSRs. Can imagine it being incredibly rough with those restraints within 2-3 years.

App is stating a 2hr queue today. Considering it is off-peak, I'm thinking it must still be on one train.

Any ideas why Hyperia appeared to be running only one train today?

Skyride is down today. Staff saying it will 'hopefully open later' which is no good once I've already walked to the other side of the park 😒 Edit: Also, it's very sad to see Toxicator's queueline scratched-up with graffiti.

Just opened. Instant 60min wait and growing. Edit - lasted 10 minutes. Down again.

Closed so far today. Not on the planned closure page. A lot of children about today as well... supposed to be a school day according to the local councils website.

It's quite apparent at this point that there is a fundamental flaw with the engineering and/or design of this ride, which falls squarely on Mack's shoulders. I certainly hope Thorpe are not paying them for any remedial action that needs to be taken.

Hyperia's having a fairly bad opening day.

There has been remarkably little criticism of Mack. Nobody seems to want to admit that, at this point, it looks like Hyperia's problems have been caused by good old-fashioned poor design.

That's just isn't good enough, really. I hope they get the second train back on the track soon. 3-4hr queues is not good from a guest experience perspective. Surely this is unsustainable.

Hopefully it stays open tomorrow. Will really leave a bitter taste if it's closed.

That may be, but I'm more concerned for the experience of the paying guests.

Queue page on the app states closed all day. Still no update on the ride availability page. People will have travelled on the basis of that information. It would not surprise me if they do this. Get it open for the press then hide behind their T&Cs when it fails to open for guests.
