Hyperia ROLLED BACK at Thorpe Park...

Hyperia is currently stuck in the valley between the immelman and the first outerbank... the ever increasing list of problems this ride has gone through continues to grow. Thorpe Park have not released any information regarding this stoppage, but have said it was not going to open today. Who knows if it'll open tomorrow or in the next few days? Join me as i discuss.

[@Raei92]

Find your fearless? Find a day when it's open 🤣🤣

[@Marhelorpe]

Maybe they should install some heat generators in the station under the wheel’s chassis, so it heats the wheel compounds before the first test run, thus reducing the risk of stalling? Colossus has this, as does Reborn. Makes sense if they want to avoid another stall when October and colder weather arrives.

[@thebup6850]

plastic piece of junk

[@mmtot]

The gravity is constant. When the train is empty it has less mass and therefore less energy to overcome resistance.

[@ItsDannyRobbins]

This isn't a launch coaster, this is no plain rollback. The term is "valleyed", and it's worse. They'll have to disassemble the train's wheel bogies and crane each car off the track and put it back on at the maintenance bay. It has a trim brake on the drop just before the outter bank, so I wonder if simply turning it off or weakening the trim brake's strength will resolve the issue.

[@vincoderso2638]

I will be at thorpe park on August 7(my birthday) i really hope that it will be open. Its the coaster I’ve been waiting for the most at the moment 🫡

[@leeowen4989]

As someone who has recovered numerous stalled roller coaster trains in the last 20 years or so, it is far more annoying than it is dangerous. Even more so when you very clearly tell operators not to run a ride because it's too windy or whatever....... but they completely ignore you and send the train out anyway.....

[@KHCoasterKid]

I’m sure they just absolutely love being told how to do their job by someone that doesn’t work at the park.

[@tomitankengine]

I was there today too but didn't talk to the engineers. What did they say?

[@maxhart9440]

​@@tomitankengine At the time they were just trying to figure out what the best way to get her off was - it's quite heavy to winch it, said worst case they'd have to dismantle. But I reckon they have a solution in mind now as when we returned later the whole team had left. That said, he mentioned the solution for Saws rollbacks back in the day was changing up the wheel material so that might be how they tackle the Hyperia issue (should this not be a freak one time occurrence). I just hope she's up and running next time I'm in the area! I'm itching for a ride! My only regret is that I didn't ask for a close up tour of the train while it was down 😂

It’s the first time we have had strong easterly winds which means it’s a strong head wind for that element of the track.

[@AntsInTheMeadow]

Cant believe it hope they fix it by August

[@TimofejsAmelins-k8z]

It was closed for 3 days

[@BradleySmellsOfBeans]

i saw a tt where is showed the roll back but it was bad quality and from the bridge

[@Sonderax]

Mack need to come in and add a booster like Voltron before its stall. It would ensure it enters the stall at an appropriate speed every time and allow for a multi pass launch to get it over if it did stall. Would take a lot of passes but its better then removing wheels and stuff. It has the highest wind limits of any thrill ride at Thorpe yet seems like even no wind is too much for it

[@jacobphillips4856]

I'm going Thorpe Park in October for fright night. I wonder if Hypeaia will be running.

[@davefroman4700]

Considering where it is? Craning it up to the top of that element may be the fastest way to get it back to the station.

Perhaps they should test it with water dummies every morning

I heard from someone the lift got slowed downed for whatever reasons a little + if its too windy, that could acutally be foreseen. Imo they opened Hyperion too soon.
