Why is Hyperia SBNO? | Latest News From Thorpe Park On Hyperia Re-Opening!| May 2024

[@sophiaparkadventures]

Opening day was such an amazing experience! But with new rides come teething issues as expected! The park is working so incredibly hard, as well as mack to get this coaster back up and running! Follow thorpe park on their socials for the latest updates!

I know it is actually closed but it is a great marketing stunt by Thorpe park since it gets more enthusiasts talking about it, more people will want to ride it and there will be loads of people coming on the 8th june if it’s opened

[@sophiaparkadventures]

Such a shame!! Hopefully it will be back soon!

[@TheKnexMaker]

[@sophiaparkadventures]

Amazing!!! :)) as much as i want it to open i hope it isnt the 8th as i have work ahah😂!! But get it open asap! What an opening it was!

[@kevd1313]

I feel for thorpe. But common what a day and night before. Its only prolonged excitement for the rest. We know what treat there in for. New coasters just bedding in. Keep up the good work Sophia. Keep it real

[@sophiaparkadventures]

Thanks so much!

[@markbtv11]

Nice update Sophia 🙌

[@Deathwish026]

the fact a crane needs to be involved means its got to be something to do with the chain/cog that it sits on so hopefully this is repaired in a safe and not rushed way.

[@sophiaparkadventures]

👍👍

Omg I made it to the thumbnail! 😂

[@sophiaparkadventures]

WHEYYY

[@evostu7814]

With all the new tech being incorporated into these modern rides it’s inevitable there will be a few teething problems, but its the only way to keep pushing the boundaries & giving us more extreme experiences, I’m sure Mack will get it sorted.

[@sophiaparkadventures]

Agree!!

[@petermc7098]

Hi Sophia, thank you for sharing your thoughts, hopefully it will be up and running soon. Cheers Peter 🙂 p.s. it's now not on the ride availability page, apart from the description above.

[@sophiaparkadventures]

Thanks for the info!

[@petermc7098]

No worries ​@@sophiaparkadventures

Went on the Sunday after opening, literally nearly went to TEARS when I found out it wasn’t opening! Found out the night before, still went and watched some workers at the top of the coaster! I will say, the queues for all the other rides were less than 10 minutes so managed to get on stealth 7 times (3 times in a row) , colossus 5 times (2 times in a row, didn’t want concussion lol) and Saw 4 times! We’re planning our trip back for when Hyperia opens, just wondering where the cameras are on the ride? I’ve got a ride access pass so thankfully won’t be waiting as long, my poor ankle couldn’t do it 😂

[@sophiaparkadventures]

That first drop i believe!! Enjoy when u experience it!!

[@wolfieeeee256]

I'm gutted for Mack especially actually, they've had some great hits in recent years and this year's a big one for them, and if you've ever been in touch with them or lucky enough to visit their factory they really are a lovely down-to-earth business!! But Hyperia is indeed (obviously) safe for anyone worried and it's easy to get swept up in all the hype (heh), it is probably just something like the lift mechanism :)

[@sophiaparkadventures]

Gosh the coaster is so incredibly safe! So unfortunate for them but they are trying their best to get it back running soon!

[@rainbowsandunicorns9196]

I'm going in September I really hope it's up and running by then!!

[@sophiaparkadventures]

It should be!! We all hope it will be very soon!!

[@rainbowsandunicorns9196]

@@sophiaparkadventures lets hope so

[@themeparkawesome3401]

Very sad it's closed and it will be back open before we all know it. We all just have to stay positive.

[@sophiaparkadventures]

Exactly!!

[@AdrenalineRush236]

I mean, if it's mechanical that probably Mack's fault. Such a shame anyway, so glad that I got 3 rides on Friday on that phenomenal coaster!

[@sophiaparkadventures]

It’s amazing!!

[@GeXExtremist]

i read some insider info that they are waiting on a part from mack rides to be manufactured, a part of the chain on the lift hill

[@sophiaparkadventures]

Ahhhh okay!!!

[@cputty1993]

What's really weird to me is whatever went wrong happened overnight went nothing was happening...... which is impossible... so was it unsafely operating all day on the opening day ?? Must have been right ? People were riding way gone 10 pm but then couldn't open in the morning 🤔 I think they're hiding something

[@sophiaparkadventures]

We were on at 10! Regardless the park is working hard to re open it!

[@rob235ioa1]

They closed it because a 5 hour Q wasnt long enough so theyve closed it to build interest it will be more like a 7 hour Q when it re opens

[@sophiaparkadventures]

Such a shame its closed!!

[@flaw3dgenius222]

Oh dear what a disaster

[@sophiaparkadventures]

Such a shame! But mack and the park are working on it!

[@billchief397]

No the smiler at alton was a disaster. This is just a small delay.
