Hyperion Review | Energylandia's World Class Intamin Hyper Coaster

[@eriklakeland3857]

These individual coaster reviews are my favorite part of your channel. Always comprehensive.

[@leowatley]

i agree.

[@mrphim13]

@studio732jrl2 yep

[@Tommo1983ful]

Me too, I often don't agree with the opinions but I still think they're good

[@j-cat5315]

Delighted to hear someone with same view. I rode Zadra and was like "Wow that was great" but Hyperion absolutely blew my socks off. I'm actually going back to Energylandia in 3 weeks and tbh I'm going (not just Energylandia but literally Poland too) almost entirely because of this coaster. It really is an absolute masterpiece.

[@ATLSloan]

I truly believe that first cammelback is the best in the world! Hyperion ‘might’ be overlooked by enthusiasts, (less and less the case these days) but it’s by far the most popular ride at Energylandia. Also and believe it or not, Energylandia actually needs those crazy long Zadra/Hyperion queues for the August holiday break where they will completely fill the Queue lines

[@leanen6424]

@studio732jrl2 been on both and i think hyperion is a tad better, the airtime on the dive loop is excellent too! Plus i much rather prefer the seat and restraint setup on hyperion rather than el toro.

[@mareksicinski3726]

pls dont get qngry@Studio732JRL

[@1tannheimer]

@@leanen6424that’s what I’m saying I think Hyperion looks better

[@maxhagenauer24]

This just looks like one of the absolute most fun roller coasters ever, even way more than a B&M Hyper because it has these massive hills but also very unique elements and low to the ground parts you won't get on a B&M Hyper. It's like a mix of a B&M Hyper and Skyrush, with an absolutely crazy layout that mixes stuff up so good.

[@CoasterStats]

Fun fact: Zadra actually features significantly stronger airtime than Hyperion. However, I definitely prefer Hyperion as well ~Kevin

[@Blauwedakpan]

How strong does Hyperion pull max? Because I thoughts it’s around -1,1G

[@sporech9374]

Stronger =\= best though in my opinion! Better restraints and the way it's delivered make Hyperion's airtime way more enjoyable to me

[@happysword258]

@Alexis C strong ‡ sustained

[@lundthedoggaming8716]

@Alexis C stronger doesn’t mean longer mate

[@harpoonstheman1559]

Surprisingly enough Lech beats both. Still, Zadra is my favorite by a considerable margin.

[@tstone102474]

Truly an amazing 1-2 punch with Zadra. They are my top two of all time. Can't wait to get back to Poland!

[@keziah5647]

This ride looks like a dream hyper. Hopefully we get something like this in NA eventually.

[@extrakubik4123]

No I think you won't have anything like this soon because now everyone in States only want RMC's

[@josephqualtier961]

@@extrakubik4123that’s because everyone has shitty wooden rides to replace, and it’s more affordable and arguably just as good if not better. Rmc is the innovator right now and even intamin is taking inspo with rmc-esque elements like outer banks and stalls

[@cwehden]

I'm going to Energylandia in June this year for Zadra, didn't even know this coaster existed! I think I'm kind of more excited for this than Zadra now OMG this thing looks CRAZY!

[@AquAbyss38]

This Hyper coaster is amazing !! I had the longest ejector airtime in my life!😊

[@Whatismyname146]

The sideways airtime on the stengel dives are absolutely underrated as hell on this ride, especially the first one

[@NorthernRidesYaBoi]

This one and Kondaa show how amazing Intamin's new variant of their Mega Coaster model can be! It's entered the next generation, like with their LSM coasters, and I can't wait to see more! They're quite innovative, especially Kondaa, which just has a phenomenal world-class layout

[@jeremydegeytere8385]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this looked better than Zadra, would run to this first if I ever went to Energylandia. Nobody wanted a 347ft Giga at my home park Knott's more than I did but I would take this in a heartbeat!

[@XscreamThrills]

Glad to hear some praise for Hyperion! Intamin crushes it with their hyper coasters!

[@lanaisoggier6325]

I did really enjoy it when I rode it earlier this year, the first drop and first ejector hill are crazy.......BUT.......the rattle was really bad and noticeable in the wingseats when I rode it especially in the twister section of the ride and was bad enough to detract from the ride experience. It seemed like after the positive Gs in the dive loop I would always end up getting completely stapled by the lap bar and then I would have to endure this agressive, painful vibration through the tops of my thighs for the rest of the ride. You could actually see the seats in the car in front flexing and vibrating as you went around. Normally I don't mind rides being a bit rough but this one made me want to have a break and go do some other rides before coming back to re-ride it. Some people say that one of the trains is much worse than the other so maybe you got lucky with which train they were using when you visited.

[@Yela_indi]

I love how ecstatic you always sound in your review videos

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

Intamin just did an amazing job with Hyperion~~ Idk why people don't talk about it enough, but I think we need to give Intamin credit for creating such an amazing hyper coaster

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

@studio732jrl2 Yeah the restraints suck on Skyrush, and Intamin's new restraints on Red Force, Jurassic World Velocicoaster, Taron, they are perfection.

[@theruleoffire]

Because everyone is too busy kissing RMC’s butt. 🤣

[@tonyjenkins7378]

When will someone bring up the issue about larger people who can't ride because of restraint issues. I'm a big man but nowhere near obese. Qwazi I can't ride, Mako I can't ride anymore. I'm frustrated.

[@lastone032085]

​@@tonyjenkins7378 Im 6'4 and was about 294 in April and I haven't had issues fitting on RmC Iron Horse, b&m hyper, Intamin lap bars, Intamin soft ots, arrow ots, premier, b&m ots, Intamin straddle, mack bobsled, gci lap bars, Ziere lap bars... The next gen Premier restraints were the worst but the b&m OTS were right behind.

[@maxhagenauer24]

Also if you didn't realize, with Do Dodonpa being closed, this is the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the world in operation to go upside-down.

[@bobjohnson6514]

Awesome review. I recently got into coasters and was fortunate to have gone to Energylandia recently. My experience since getting back in to coasters has been my home park SFOG and I also visited La Ronde recently. Both Zadra and Hyperion blew away my expectations and are my new #1 and 2 coasters. I’ll be going to Busch gardens Tampa and Seaworld Orlando this December so excited to ride some other good coasters.

[@rafaelbalaguer9342]

When you guys posted your Energylandia entrance shot on Instagram my comment was "Calling it now! You're not going to like Zadra as much as you're hoping to (blame Iron Gwazi) and Hyperion will be your favorite ride in the park." I was right!! MUAH HAHAHAHA 🔮

[@CoasterStudios]

You called it! Impressive!

[@aarons0683]

This park has one of the best one two punches and I want to go back! In my opinion Hyperion has the best beginning of any coaster.

[@extrakubik4123]

This is my favorite Intamin hyper I have ever been on and also only Intamin hyper I have ever been on🤣🤣 great video I really enjoy your vlogs in Europe👍👍

[@veneragd7139]

I completely agree that this is just a total behemoth of a coaster and it feels as though you are straight up flyingin your dreams, but i do think that the wing seats towards the back were quite rough. Hyperion is still a monumental coaster!!!

[@robertannable9584]

Superman @New England, but perfected & modernized. I think Hyperion looks like best coaster in the world. I've always thought that.

[@plazasta]

When I went to Energylandia, Orion was my #1. When I did this monster though? My reaction coming out of it was "this is everything Orion should've been". I personally rate Zadra above Hyperion, but it's a very close call, both rides are amazing. In my limited coaster-riding experience, these two stand head-and-shoulders above anything else I've ever done

[@michakowalczyk4179]

Completely agreed with that review🔥 I’m just bit sad that Zadra disappointed. For me this RMC is also a perfect coaster, but you can’t have everything.

[@rct2nerd]

It's crazy to think that this was almost built by Vekoma!

[@josephqualtier961]

Vekoma would’ve done a great job but intamin is def still king

[@Hedka]

Hyperion is best for me at the back in the middle seats. It delivered the best drop and it was not shaky like the front side seats. And you can rise your hands and legs because you are a little in the air, but this is just crazy. A great ride thst may be better than Zadra.

[@alexlamasclimbs]

All of these new-gen intamins look insane, I can't wait to ride some. the only ones I've done are Pantheon and Velocicoaster

[@MOMAZOSPATO]

Velocicoaster is wild

[@JamesFletcher0]

I'm glad I am not alone in thinking Hyperion is an elite ride. My personal number 1

[@gypsymuffinABZ]

This is my number 1 coaster. I agree with the 10/10 rating.

[@ibeg1951]

Fun fact hyperion would have been even better if they kept the original design Energylandia gave the fans a choice.... they could choose between intamin layout and vekoma layout Both looked better than the final product...they changed the intamin layout a bit People chose intamin

[@ballzz2thewall]

Hyperion is my #1 full steel coaster and its not even close

[@jgd5ygdyhcr6]

I'll be honest idk how many times I've rewatched the energylandia reviews since December coz I'm visiting literally in a bit over a week on 10th of April I'm just so stoked to get to energylandia

[@kleszczoros4885]

Finnaly someone who prefers Hyperion over zadra. Theyre both amazig

[@StormC9101]

I'd love to see SkyRush replace their trains with the ones on Hyperion. It'd be so much more comfortable.

[@martainevo]

Out of 5 rides I had 1 really rough ride. It was Bandit like rough, it was that bad. It was at the 3rd row left outer seat. 5 minutes before I was on the 2nd row left outer seat and it was glass smooth. Same train as it was on 1 train. That being said Hyperion is still a great ride!

[@zeadux2095]

Would like to go to Energylandia at some point. Zadra and Hyperion looks amazing

[@mythicgamingmk1105]

I really would like to see a Giga built with this setup

[@AquAbyss38]

A B&M Giga in Energylandia? Yes, please!

[@YYYValentine]

Just rode it today! My first hyper! Awesome ride! Agree with the review!

[@tonyjenkins7378]

This video gave me everything I wanted to know about this ride and the major coasters to compare Hyperion to. Hyperion looks super awesome.

[@daanstobbelaar2147]

When I was there that 'annoyingly long queue' was actually completely full... let me tell you that walking through this queue seems like a much better experience 🙃 (the wait time was >90 minutes for all major attractions)

[@SandaMaksla]

I was there recently and drove away with this miracle. I had never ridden one, so my friends and I sat in the very front. On the first descent, it seemed that I was dead and my soul separated from my body. It took half a day to recover. When I calmed down, I realized that every second was worth it. :D

[@digdougx]

Did Taylor just make a dirty joke at the beginning of the video? Next thing we know he might say something other than frick! Lol

[@virtualikcz]

I have riden it and it is WOW like what just happened. This ride is just amazing, there isn't anything bad on this ride just WOW

[@Rollback_Productions_]

I was loving the review right up until you said “El Toro”. I miss that ride so much 😫

[@feesrmt]

they should give skyrush those same restraints

[@loganbohn6269]

With the speed carrying into the brake run they could put in another thousand feet of track

[@lansulin]

The drawn out airtime hill before the over bank to the left gives no airtime at all, quite a buzzkill to me

[@sdaniel9129]

I'm afraid of heights, but I'd love to ride Hyperion! This summer I experienced Kondaa at Walibi Belgium and I loved it! Greetings from the Netherlands...

[@FOMOCoaster]

Hyperion does not have an inversion. The queue marked 2 is not for the middle rows of Hyperion, only for individuals (not groups).

[@thequackenscoasterchannel2927]

This thing looks incredible, layout reminds me of Superman at SFNE with how it's an out and back in the first half and the second half is more of a twister. I love Superman and this seems like it's way better, especially in the restraints department.

[@Nicklmeyer]

I remember when the concept animations came out for this ride and I thought Nah, this ride's not gonna happen... Wow how time flies

[@coasterdata1663]

We need a chicken coaster review!

[@Airbaltic.aviation]

When I went to energylandia 1st thing 10 am the park just opened HYPERION I wasn’t really scared or anything Almost 8 pm (20:00) last ride Hyperion I was really and I mean REALLY scared to ride it but when I came out of it I was so happy I wrote it then

[@Frenoir]

Intamin from my experience has been the best rollercoasters that i have personally been on

[@Frenoir]

and thats only because RMC doesnt have seat alternatives for a person that is larger i cant fit in RMC restraints due to my legs

[@Netsuko]

3:53 if you look closely you can see someone losing an item in the back row.... there's a reason you should not take your phone on a ride.

[@tonyjenkins7378]

Awesome video for such a dream like coaster. Could be comparable to the new one in Dubai because of it's exciting features!

[@NiekNooijens]

What I miss is more theming. The brakes could have you "landing inside a space port" and the low to the ground elements could have some tunnels with headchoppers, or just a few decoration pieces around the track. The moment you leave the station its completely empty!

[@starryagent9936]

Funny how the dude who made a movie-length documentary on RMC would wind up thinking the RMC that many consider to be the greatest coaster on Earth would be overrated, and the Intamin right next door would be the best in the park. But as a diehard Intamin fanboy, I approve of this decision

[@JJJJ-he8bz]

I’ve always thought Hyperion looked way better than zadra

[@thatcoastergirltee]

Looks fun! I hope to go there one day

[@joheer4692]

I don't know but this mighty be the review I disagree the most with. I feel like after the dive loop the wing seats are just super rough, the airtime hill after the dive loop basically does nothing and the low to the ground elements only hit in the front row. I must agree that the drop and first airtime hill are a 10/10 though.

[@kingdragon3879]

i remember when i first saw stuff about hyperion people were saying that it sucked and i don’t get why

[@jozefcyran2589]

I think zadra is scarier but the first drop on hyperion is absolutely awesome

[@Tommo1983ful]

I did enjoy this coaster, unfortunately im waiting some minor surgery and this was just a bit painful for me so i only rode 3 times during my 3 day visit. Loved the first drop and i cant wait for a future hopefully less painful ride!

[@ScrewyLoops]

Wasn't huge on Hyperion but I love your enthusiasm ❤️ Honestly prefer Formula haha! Great review!

[@upsidedown_]

Same here, not a huge fan of hyperion

[@smuella]

Same unfortunately. Beginning is incredible but the second half is a bit lackluster to me. Also yeah, not necessarily uncomfortable but just not smooth.

[@elijahzamanis]

Off topic but Holiday Park is prob adding a Ride to Happiness clone according to RCDB

[@JJJJ-he8bz]

Hyperion looks way better better than zadra. I’d come to that park for that alone

[@DoubleARay]

If it wasn't as jolty as it is on the back left, it would 110% be my number 1. It just that it kills your legs and gives you the worse headache. When I went to EL I had one of the best ride I had ever had on a coaster on the front and one of the worse experiences on the back, IN THE SAME DAY

[@TheIntimacyGram]

I liked it, but felt it was more on the level of Diamond back or Intimidator. Zadra, on the other hand, was AMAZING!

[@bilderkin4799]

Zadra an Hyperion look like a better version of Kings Dominions top 2.

[@irigamoi]

3:53 pretty sure someone's phone fell out 💀

[@Altontowersthorpepark]

Fr

[@ben_g451]

It s my Top1 coaster, I also originally expected Zadra to become my highlight, but I had the same issue as you with it, there could be a bit more airtime for a RMC, still great, but Hyperion is greater!

[@brianharrington7663]

Wait this thing is almost a giga coaster??? It never looks that tall in the pictures.

[@move2003ny]

i loved hyperion, I actually preferred it over Zadra, but the rattle was very noticeable in the side seats, especially in the second half of the ride.

[@elijahrock3914]

the tallest coaster to have an inversion

[@rickyiibrown830]

More like if Velocicoaster had a lift hill

[@AceAviations2]

Honestly I can't really think of this ride in a great light, mostly because I just see it as a giant what if due to the fact that this could have been Vekoma's big break with their hyper concept. To be up front I found the Vekoma one to be better looking than any of the Intamin layouts, that I felt got progressively worse. Vekoma's concept for this ride opened my eyes to new Vekoma, who I consider to be better than new Intamin these days (100% serious, Vekoma has been FAR more innovative than Intamin as of late). This ride is probably one of the biggest "what if's" in the amusement park industry, would Vekoma have made their comeback to the U.S. sooner? Would we be seeing a Vekoma giga? Where would Vekoma be now if they got the project? That is this ride's biggest crime for me, the fact that we never got to see what a Vekoma hyper would have been like. Had Vekoma never created a concept for this and it was just the Intamin from the start I wouldn't feel this way about it. But Vekoma did and they knocked it out of the park, as a result any positive light shined on this ride is overshadowed by the thoughts of what could have been if Vekoma got the project instead of Intamin. Had it been either Mack or B&M instead of Vekoma it would be a very different story.

[@smuella]

I agree on the earlier intamin layou looking a bit better.

[@AceAviations2]

@@smuella I felt that the first version of the Intamin layout was the best, the final result doesn't really have a twister section, or just a very pathetic excuse of a twister finale. It was the twister finale that sold me on the Vekoma, and the final result doesn't have what I'd call a twister finale.

[@smuella]

@@AceAviations2 I think I like the second iteration best.

[@ninjxmi]

vekoma thought lech was too intense so they toned it down with fonix and also abyssus is tame so a vekoma hyperion wouldve been a b&m hyper dumb kid

[@thinkingchristian]

Agreed; Vekoma is innovating more than Intamin these days. Intamin looks like they're copying other manufacturers' homework: their "Hot Racer" models are just like RMC Raptors and their new LSM coasters are just like Vekoma's (though they do look fun). Hopefully Vekoma will get a chance to build a hyper concept/skydash soon, though if they do it'll probably be in China.

[@hrysivjt67]

all the creativity is in Europe

[@joeconcrete5067]

You’ve a good voice for your videos.

[@TheAndroidvsapple]

Imagine they builded the Vekoma contender. That layout was even better.

[@Tokenn-blacc]

Actual inversion count:1 planet coaster: 5

[@arifanyuh]

😂😂😂that’s so trueee

[@lewisfinkiv3744]

Hyperion looks like my kind of coaster

[@LH44-GC]

It's like the Superman the Ride of the new gen Intamin

[@StamfordBridge]

I rode Hyperion earlier in the day on that same Thursday that you arrived, and a lot of those pointless stairs were filled with a line then.

[@nolimitzs00]

This camelback on offride photage feels agressive just by lookimg at it. U go up and down kinda at the same time.

[@matthewblack2252]

I was there in August and got nothing from the speedhill and camelback after the dive loop which really took away from the ride for me.

[@tygrysm2]

Oh, shame that the splash effect was off. They turn it off during colder days. However, it shoots the water up just before the train passes, so the riders get splashed just before the train stops on the brake run. So you not only hit the brakes hard, but you also get a surprising "punch in the face" to end the ride.

[@clubstep8244]

Glad im not the only one Who Thinks Hyperion is the Star there

[@christiangehl3134]

Tiny mistake. Hyperion is not a satelite but one of saturns moons.

[@benlevy3073]

I like zadra a bit more but they are both a 10/10

[@MrLouisrogers]

Did we ride the same coaster!? First drop and air time hill were fantastic. The rest of the layout just didn't do much special for me. It's an 8/10 in my book.

[@animeleek]

gotta say best ride in the park . Zadra was nice but hyperion has the height and airtime ...nevertheless the speeeeeeed

[@limonscore]

I have never heard this from a european. We just have much less RMCs and more coasters like Hyperion

[@yimmydotjpg3494]

i rode speed twice in the pouring rain so i couldn't dry off. i then rode hyperion six times in an an hour (i would have rode it more if the queue wasnt so ridiculously long) and it dried me completely

[@EngineerSTG]

I always liked the name Hyperion just from playing Borderlands
