The Hyperia roller coaster at Thorpe Park remains closed. Initially scheduled to reopen at the end of May, the reopening has now been postponed until at least June 8th. The amusement park informs its visitors about the ongoing issues.

Extended Closure of the Hyperia Roller Coaster

The spectacular Hyperia roller coaster at Thorpe Park, known as the tallest and fastest in the United Kingdom, remains out of operation longer than expected. Just one day after its opening, the ride had to be closed. The park now announces that the closure will continue until at least the end of next week.

Initial Announcements and Current Situation

Initially, it was announced that the roller coaster would be out of service on Saturday, May 25th. Shortly thereafter, it was revealed that the closure would last until Wednesday, May 29th. As that date approaches, Thorpe Park updates its visitors again, but the news is not encouraging.

Official Statement from the Park

“As you may have already seen, Hyperia is currently unavailable,” the amusement park stated in a new announcement on its social media channels. “Despite our efforts, we cannot guarantee that Hyperia will reopen before Saturday, June 8th.” The park emphasizes that they are doing everything possible to bring the attraction back online sooner. “We apologize for the disappointment this causes.”

Unspecified technical difficulties

Details about the technical difficulties with the roller coaster have not been disclosed by Thorpe Park. However, recent days have seen ongoing work on the 72-meter-high lift hill. Hyperia, built by the renowned German company Mack Rides, is known for its reliable and technically advanced roller coasters. Typically, their new installations operate without major initial issues.
