@TheSpazDevil The reason why I made that comment is not because the ride is bad. It's because not only did Hyperia have a near 1 month breakdown after opening because of a broken chain lift, but it rolled back once during testing and it once got stuck at the chain lift for one hour and yes I know that the issues have been sorted but if Thorpe Park made a ride that would cost 18 million pounds, I wouldn't expect it to roll back after trying to go through an inversion which I don’t think anyone still has come up a name for.

The island next to swarm is a perfect place to build a new coaster! I still think an rmc hybrid will be in that plot of land. I even made a concept design in planet coaster if an rmc came to thorpe park
@russherbert31303 ай бұрын
the problem with the island behind Swarm is that it is getting closer to the residences over the back of thorpe and the noise impact might stop them from putting an RMC in place, they should consider another indoor coaster (think Guardians at EPCOT) to keep noise to a minimum - I'd be surprised if they removed the cabins without replacing them with a proper hotel like Chessington/Legoland have in situ, although that could be a club 18-30 hellhole of a hotel with Thorpe's age demographic

From what I've heard, RMC was actually in the running for the project that is now Hyperia, but they didn't go with them because they wouldn't get the environmental permission to build it, because the dense structure would be too noticeable in the skyline (which is also why Hyperia has that weird 2-colour design)

Its both an interesting & exciting future for both Thorpe Park Resort & UK with Universal GB potentially maybe going to happen? Picked out & displayed some good locations where new coaster & rides could be constructed and added? Defo could see Rumpa Rapids maybe removed, aswell Colossus or even I think Nemesis Inferno, nah never lol? Aswell whole of Amity beach & Depth Charge. Could see RMC Coaster maybe going in there? Immersive theming? Or a Vekoma Flying Coaster like Fly in that area or at back behind Swarm? Or an RMC? I hope we get a upgraded Rapids in where Rapids are now, with a new layout, immersive theming and a ride where you actually get soaked on it would be nice especially as it can get quite hot up that area in the summer as it did for both myself and my friend on our visit, Luckily Tidal Wave cooled us down. As much as it would probs upset alot of people, I think an original travelling come army recruit zombie experience would be an epic addition here? Where X No Way Out Is & Ghost Train, make it into one big theatre shooting attraction where you maybe travel in by train as recruits to shoot & survive? Aswell out get train out as evacuation & rescue. With a city overrun by zombies & you recruits entering different areas to shoot zombies that threaten to turn all who enter? With a few surprises along the way, thats something I would love to see? Maybe if not? Something like that could be a story around Swarm as a sequel? That would be epic addition I think? But I think it will be a new coaster, most likely an RMC Steel Coaster? As there is a demand for it, unless Universal GB happens & they build one in UK first? Or another park & resort? But nice video, enjoyed & look forward to seeing more speculation videos in future. 😀👍

I think Thorpe Park wouldn't get an RMC because if Hyperia would be the UK's most weightless rollercoaster, then I don't see them one- upping themselves for no reason. Also, the RMC may have a better layout then Hyperia which would be kinda sad. I think that a wooden coaster would work well at Thorpe Park focusing on airtime, and Thorpe park could be home to the UK's tallest and fastest wooden and steel coasters. Also, if Thorpe Park got Hyperia for their 45th birthday, then I would love to see a new hotel for their 50th. I think a new flat ride where Slammer was would come before a new roller coaster

I honestly think it’s time for them to remove the Ghost Train and just built an RMC Raptor in its place next to Nemesis Inferno to extend that whole area of the park.

I get why people want an RMC but like you said in the video, Hyperia already offers much of the weird stalls, outerbanks and crazy ejector people live RMCs for. Thorpe does still need a wooden coaster, but they could also do with a more traditional airtime machine that isn't filled with inversions. For me, a GCI would absolutely fill the most gaps in Thorpe's lineup and they could easily go for another UK's tallest and fastest record if they build 100% wood. That wooden structure looming in the skyline behind the swarm would look incredible. Also would TWD really be missed? maybe if it was still the ravecoaster but it's kinda a mess rn. Knock it, Storm Surge, Colossus and Saw Alive down and suddenly you have a massive area to build something great. Big new area with a Mack Xtreme Spinner or a Vekoma tilt coaster, an extra smaller coaster, a few flats and a new water ride. Still replace rumba with the new rapids like you suggested but I think they also need a modern flume. They're crowd pleasers that can appease thrill seekers and give them a more varied selection of rides, but they can also appeal to a broader audience. You gotta have something for those who aren't super eager thrill seekers, bc if you can encourage them to tag along, you get bigger group sizes, which means more ticket sales and more spending on stuff like food and merch. Also, if they're gonna replace the beach with anything it should be part of a new park entrance. The Dome and the area surrounding it just don't give the best first impression, and the paths leaving the area feel way too narrow and winding. Open up that entire area so you get a better view of the skyline from the park's entrance.

Replace colossus with a vekoma tilt with an equal number of inversions if the inversion count is important to anyone. Didferent enough from the rmc style of hyperia.

Push your upper body and head forward, and brace firmly. Feels a bit weird but it does wonders for some rougher rides. You can see outside of the restraints better and get banged about less if at all. Colossus grew on me last time I went and tried this. I still find the 5 heartline rolls repetitive and cheap but some of the earlier elements are fast and forceful.

Exactly, an Extreme spinner like Ride to Happiness doesn’t even have to be tall at all, it just has to be inversion focused and have a great layout. Hence, a Mack extreme spinner to replace Colossus would he incredible in my opinion. A B & M dive coaster would also be ideal for that area of Thorpe where Colossus is but I’d rather prefer something unique (we already have oblivion in the Uk). A flying coaster would also be very welcome as Galatica is on its last legs at Alton towers, maybe one next to nemesis inferno if they remove the ghost train which they should to be honest.

As far as Colossus goes, I don't think the ride itself is an issue BUT, what they DESPERATELY need to do if Colossus is staying for more than another 2 or 3 years is replace those bloody trains! The ride itself, with maybe a little bit of retracking, is fine. The problem with Colossus and why it rides so terribly these days is those trains. The seats and restraints are bloody awful. It doesn't ride as badly as SAW, which is completely unforgivable and I'm now done with forever, but it's getting close!

Uf they did put in a ride like zadra it would be a complete copy of energylandia. Best theme park for me especially in 2024. But it has Hyperion which is pretty much the same name as hyperia and then it would be like the exact same park.
