Inferno Posted April 2 Report Share Posted April 2 That TPM article is a really good overview. I really feel for the staff at Thorpe, and the people at Mack who did all the complex work on the layout. This is clearly not what anyone wanted at all. Mistakes and unforeseen problems happen all the time. It’s unfortunate that this one has such an impact and is is so costly. I think it’s fair to say though that this has become quite urgent, and can’t continue for much longer. As has been mentioned above, brand reputation, for both Thorpe and Mack, is now on the line. Does anyone know if the train has been recovered yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyB Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 So didn't manage to get Hyperia today 😔 Had a surprisingly smooth ride on SAW. Nemesis is awesome and has aged like a fine wine. Did Stealth and Swarm, had a Burger King and a pint, and then went home. I do feel for the park, they have had issues with their last two installations (Derron and Hyperia).

Benin Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 Not exactly a great way to introduce guests to it. But the ridiculous amount of netting also hates it when it rains too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyB Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago So finally manged to get Hyperia today. First ride was back row, and it was insane! 2nd ride was towards the back. Also did some rides I haven't done in years. Got 5 laps on Flying Fish, did Vortex & Zodiac ( which I immediatley regretted - getting older and lots of spinning do not go hand in hand), Quantum and Rush. Tidal Wave was a godsend today. Also did Swarm, SAW and Nemesis. We ate at Vibes which was very good, and price was reasonable. I also took some travel sickness tablets with me today which made the difference! More thoughts on Hyperia: Was surprised how much you are out of the seat. Didn't think it needed to be much longer, maybe a helix or additional bunny hop. Queue line leaves a lot to be desired, also think they need some sort of screening on the lift motor as its very loud. Surprisingly quite busy. Colossus broke down and was stuck on the lift when we arrived. Assuming it moved to one train operation as the queue was 60mins for a lot of the day. Stealth was out all day.
