Thorpe Park had to close the new Hyperia roller coaster just one day after its opening. Unforeseen circumstances caused the sudden stop, leading to disappointment among visitors.
Unexpected Closure of Hyperia
Thorpe Park announced that the Hyperia roller coaster, which had recently opened, remains closed due to unforeseen issues. In a statement shared on social media, the amusement park apologized to fans and informed them about the closure.
Compensation for Ticket Holders
Visitors who have already purchased tickets for Hyperia have the opportunity to visit the park on another day for free. Thorpe Park is making efforts to minimize inconvenience for guests and is working hard to reopen the attraction as soon as possible. Current information will be provided on the website and social media channels.
Preliminary Schedule
The roller coaster is expected to be out of operation until at least Wednesday, May 29th. Thorpe Park will keep the public updated on the reopening after this date and will publish relevant updates online.
Successful Launch with Minor Disruptions
Hyperia, a hypercoaster by the manufacturer Mack Rides, was presented to the press and invited guests on Thursday evening. The following Friday, regular visitors had the chance to experience the new attraction. Despite a few brief interruptions, the operation ran smoothly overall. The waiting time reached up to five hours, highlighting the visitors' interest.
Opening Measures
To manage the large number of visitors, Thorpe Park set up an extended queue that stretched from the park entrance to the new area, Fearless Valley. The park stayed open two hours longer than originally planned on the opening day, allowing visitors to queue until 8:00 PM. These measures contributed to a successful opening day.
