Matt N Posted June 16 Report Share Posted June 16 Hi guys. In recent days, Hyperia, the UK’s tallest and fastest roller coaster, has opened at Thorpe Park. It’s only been open for a few days thus far, but a lot of people who’ve ridden it (although admittedly not everybody) are already declaring it their top UK coaster. With this in mind, I’d be interested to know; is Hyperia your top UK coaster, if you’ve ridden? Has it finally knocked Nemesis off its top spot? Or if Nemesis wasn’t your top UK coaster before, has Hyperia usurped whatever you previously had on top? Or did it not quite reach the mark for you? I haven’t personally ridden Hyperia yet, so I’m voting undecided at the moment, but I’m interested to see the consensus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted June 17 Report Share Posted June 17 Two trains of thought here. Hyperia is the best UK rollercoaster if you think purely from the rollercoaster itself. Could it be better, yes, but actually it offers something completely unique to anything else the UK currently offers. Nemesis: Reborn remains my favourite UK rollercoaster because it offers an overall better experience from a theme and layout perspective. You could build Hyperia anywhere, but Nemesis Reborn, is truly unique. Matt N 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Han30 Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 I can see why a lot of people rate it so highly - it is in my top 3 UK coasters. However I have only ridden it once on opening day so it’s hard to gauge - I feel like I need a decent amount of rides on it and front and back etc to come to that conclusion. I was very much wowed by it and look forward to (hopefully) another ride in a couple of weeks (if it’s working!) Matt N 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted June 21 Report Share Posted June 21 Haven't decided yet after 4 rides, but it's very very good! Matt N 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattgwise Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 After 5 rides today, it's certainly my top UK coaster and even high up in my European rankings to. We really are lucky to have this in our own country and for many of us down the road. It's a great coaster in any row TBF which is rare.

Matt N Posted August 19 Author Report Share Posted August 19 Now I've ridden Hyperia, I'm changing my answer to an emphatic yes! No other UK coaster provides sustained weightlessness quite like that, and some of those elements are something to behold; the first drop, the non-inverting Immelmann and the outerbank into the inversion are three absolutely world-class elements, and as a sequence, that successive trio of elements is absolute perfection! Yes, it's not the longest coaster in the world, but the length didn't bother me one bit. The negative g-forces and speed are so, so good on there, and the fact that every element hits and hits hard makes Hyperia an absolutely sublime coaster for me! It's easily my favourite UK coaster, and it sits in my overall top 5! We're lucky to have such a phenomenal ride in this country! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
