You don't mess around thanks so much for uploading this so quickly

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Pleasure

Love how Dom jumps into shot at the last second before the vlog finished 😂😂😂😂

[@helwig83]

🏆 for you for bringing out the video so quickly! I loved hearing your first reactions; makes me very excited to ride now!

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Insane!!

[@princess_sarina_aria_elysia]

At least we have that fantastic soundtrack hyping us up in the queue, just close your eyes and it will feel themed 😂 But seriously I'm obsessed with the soundtrack and it seems like no one will care about everything that surrounds the ride once they actually get on the ride experience. Hyped!

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Agreed, soundtrack is amazing

[@jamieah152]

Great video giving us the whole picture of the press event! Looks like an amazing event to be at! Wish they did a an event like that the public could pay to attend! Great to meet you on opening day!

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Great to see you too and I know it would be nice, apologies for rushing off at the end, everyone was in a rush to get going to avoid the traffic aha hope you enjoyed the rest of your day!

[@morrning_group]

🎢🎥 Thank you for this amazing VLOG recap of the Hyperia Press Night VIP Experience - UK's Tallest Coaster! 🌟🙌 The excitement and anticipation for the ride were palpable, and the detailed look at the queue and refill cups added to the thrill! 😍💫 Have you ever experienced riding a roller coaster as thrilling as Hyperia, and what was your favorite part of the ride? Share your thoughts! 🎢🤩 #HyperiaPressNight #ThrillsAndChills 🚀

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

I have experienced rides that I’ve enjoyed more than Hyperia but for the UK it’s special and the stall is arguably the best stall in the world

[@yourexperienceguide]

Knew you’d have this on before 10pm 😂

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

😂😂😂

[@roller_coaster_sam]

Grateful you was there to document it! So glad you was part of the event!

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Thanks Sam!

[@HarryBoSweets]

They handled the opening super well this morning

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

They did although the queue to get in was a bit of a mess with security guards batching people through the scanners in weird ways leaving longer wait times

[@the_average_juel]

The British have one of the greatest roller coasters in the world on their hands. Hats off to Thorpe Park!

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

👏

[@garyflynn3762]

Agree, it looks awesome

[@timduncan9745]

Great content once again buddy and the first i watched(pretty sure that you were first to upload from the event)..massive thumbs up for taking hayley as your plus one .. her and chris's dedication to this project during the build etc definitely makes her worthy as well as the fact they are thoroughly nice people 👍 i watched night you uploaded by the way only just realised after seeing hayleys latest vlog it was you that invited her

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Hey Tim, yes a few people I know wanted to go but it was always going to be Hayley or Chris. They pick me up, put up with me, allow me to stay at their house and go above and beyond to support me when this medical condition would otherwise hinder me from even running a consistent content heavy channel. It's the least I could do!

[@RIdersfan232]

Its really strange seeing people go round on it 😂So excited to ride it!!!

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Yessss

[@pyrobundy]

This must be a special ride. Only good reviews being reported so far. Can’t wait to get on this tomorrow!!

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Short but insane, genuinely incredible

[@TransportNut89]

Bloody heck Sean, awesome getting this up so quickly! I'm certain that I saw Chris from adventure times at High Wycombe bus station on Monday. But couldn't be sure 😂

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Haha I’ll have to ask

[@Aphisics]

Thank you very much for this video! That sounds odd to say but I’ve never had so much excitement and goosebumps watching a video before! 😂

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

I still can’t believe it… the UK has a European / world class coaster

[@Aphisics]

@@LiftHillsandThrills I will fully understand what you mean after my Europe trip! Only a few weeks to go!

[@carlrobinson4843]

So great you had this opportunity, just watching you while I’m in the queue line for bowsers challenge at universal ( currently down 😂😂😂)

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Haha amazing, have an epic time Carl

[@SamM-oh2cx]

Bloody hell! You can’t even get shit of a shovel quicker than you can knocking out vlogs! Personally I don’t buy into “themes and theming” so that would be wasted on me, keep it real, it’s a roller coaster, nothing more, nothing less! It’s all about the ride experience, not someone dressed up with wings, you’re a human, not a bird. Glad you enjoyed the experience, not rode it so can’t really comment other than to say, I wish it was longer and I wish it was taller, bigger! If going after the big ones title, I would have went some and more, not a foot or two! Best of luck with this one TP! Brilliant as always Sean!

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Thanks mate

[@chris-pike]

Good to see you & Hayley and many others for the opening night of Hyperia what looks an incredible Coaster there Sean 👍

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

It really is special

[@davemapp1571]

Great vlog, as always. Good to see Hayley. Poor Chris missing out again. It looks sensational. Disappointed that my health won't allow me to ride it. Appreciate your vlogs all the more because of that.

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Poor Chris was working but I was only given a Plus one

[@TomW0odD2]

Great meeting you Shaun !!! 👊

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Good meeting you too Tom

[@ReaquireFTW]

Cannot wait for this tomorrow! Don’t worry I’m scared of heights too, thankfully it’s a fast lift hill unlike the big one lol

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

The fast lift hill does help!

[@simonb5592]

Another fast output. Thanks. Being dragged on it Wednesday and I hate heights, so if Mr Lifthills can do it......thanks again.

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

You sure can do it mate

Great coaster, but poor queue. Aniway, super video💥

[@joecandish3923]

Hyperia looks phenomenal but I am more intrigued by Drayton Manor Lift & Launch as that has amazing looking elements and the layout is quite confusing

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Delayed… lets twiddle our thumbs for a bit longer

[@NathanHydra]

I know you don’t tend to rank rides, but if you had to compare the ride experiences; which of the 2 big Mack’s of this year do you think is “better”: Voltron or Hyperia?

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Voltron

[@NathanHydra]

@@LiftHillsandThrills thx for the answer!

[@josh0108]

How on earth did you get this out SO quickly!? It’s been less than two hours since the first people were let into the main queue!

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

We were at the front

[@ToastGhost]

Looks like it really is a special ride, I'm curios how you stack it up against Voltron purely as a rollercoaster though.

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Voltron is the complete experience, this one just grazes the surface

[@InversionAndImmersion]

Now I’m excited to ride this as I know you don’t BS bring on tomo

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Was I right or was I right?! aha

[@Stuntman707]

I’m looking forward to riding this once the crowds settle down. I’m sure it is the best rollercoaster in the UK, the best ride overall is still debatable. I’ll put up with the loose theme if that ride experience makes me speechless. If you’re not, I’m going to say it - Mack Produkt! 😄

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

We all said it after we got off haha

[@DiveCoaster85]

What a great event! Your reaction said it all - we've got a world class coaster on our hands here! What was the stall element like? The ride has lived up to the Hype(ria)...

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

The stall was ridiculous.... it feels similar to Zadras but with a longer hang time duration

[@philiptaylor6883]

So glad to hear your thaughts, I'm so excited to ride it 😁😁😁😆

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Enjoyyy

[@shasnan7324]

Time for the big question, hyperia or Voltron?

[@beachlife2968]

Voltron of course

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Voltron!

[@natsirt0088]

Honest question, Voltron or Hyperia as a package??

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Voltron

I cannot wait to ride Hyperia tomorrow going to get my first ride on it just before I set off for a 2wk USA Road trip as well

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

😂 I’m exhausted

[@louiseking1756]

Great vid! There’s an elevated bit just near the outer banked turnaround coming out of the station which makes me question if someone was meant to be there but due to budget cuts it was scrapped, also is that stage temporary or permanent.

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Quite possibly!

[@missmoonpenny9369]

imagine it would have been themed…. (because let’s face it …. it is not themed, it is colour coordinated at best. but yes yes yes i know, we all knew what was coming …… but still) it is just the sadness speaking out of me after i saw the reality of the queue line … i had to vent.

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

It’s a real shame but the ride more than makes up for it 😂

[@MrUltrAdaman]

In theory they can adjust the queue line and other theming elements in the future. For now better to have a massive queue that can soak up crowds in a compact area then when the crowds calm down they can make changes. Will wait to see what the planting looks like when it's fully grown to pass judgement on that side

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Queue is ridiculously oversized and underwhelming but the ride… my god

[@mousecharger]

You never ever fail thanks Sean

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

They sure did

[@mattbentley9270]

Wow everythuing looks fabulous ! damn ... that queue line is insane ! awesome vid mate

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

I wasn't a fan of the queue personally... looks very cheap with the fencing / cattle pen rubbish but certain elements do look smart I'll give them that

[@lewz_r]

I AM RESISTING THE URGE TO SKIP THE REVIEW OF IT RN AHHHHHHHHHH (okay I low key skipped the dancing because it was kind of cringe 😂)

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

No. The dancing was class 😂

[@RozzerMildred97]

Wow they went all out for this!

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

They did

[@smaz9]

I mean, given the budget constraints and the space that they had to work with, this is quite a stunning ride. To me, this ride kinda feels like X2 or Eejanaika, it's not a long ride, but what it does in that time is fantastic. Now, if they'd put spinning trains on this thing...

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

I find some bits VERY cheap but others quite wonderful. Painting a backstory with animations etc turn it into a themed ride with zero theming. They've done a good job in external areas but that queue line is really quite shoddy BUT.... station was better than expected (not great, just better) and the ride experience is mad!

[@smaz9]

@@LiftHillsandThrills Also, Mack coasters are on the more expensive side, if they'd gone for, let's say Intamin, they could've done more with the layout and/or theming, and they've worked with them in the past with Colossus and Stealth, so it would've made more sense.

[@michaelgrant4062]

Ride looks amazing but how could Thorpe park cheap out so badly with the theming - looks like they ran out of time and just threw up something cheaper to make do

I feel like TPR will install an RMC next to Swarm island as this will be a huge success.

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Can’t imagine them getting an RMC but that location would be perfect

[@Kyle-Russell]

so they have enough money to to bring a aircraft display team in but not enough money for teaming and there was a lack off planting around the ride.

Shop is nice, area / queueline is mediocre, ride is MAD. Just honesty but if they hadn't have marketed it as a theme park ride with a themed backstory animation... I'd be more lenient. Marketing has well and truly ruined the identity of a coaster that just needed to stand there and look tall haha
