Thorpe Park's latest gem, the Hyperia roller coaster, is nearing completion. But the big question that both fans and experts are grappling with is: Will Hyperia make its first journey in time for the season to start in March?
Construction Phases Nearly Complete: A Behind-the-Scenes Look
Developments at Hyperia in Thorpe Park are sending roller coaster enthusiasts' hearts racing. With 80% of the tracks and supports installed and the completion of the distinctive non-inverting Immelmann, it's evident that work is progressing at an impressive speed. The construction teams are tirelessly moving forward with the next phases, particularly the lift hill, to bring the monumental structure to life.
Project Exodus: From Vision to Reality
Hyperia's journey began with Project Exodus, which started with the demolition of Old Town at the end of December 2022. Initially set for a 15-month construction period, an opening at the season's start at the end of March seemed within the realm of possibility. However, the unpredictable British weather didn't always cooperate and brought several challenges that might have led to shifts in the schedule.
Expectations vs. Reality: When Will Hyperia Open Its Gates?
Although the progress of the coaster's construction is notable, current forecasts suggest that Hyperia's opening will likely occur in the summer months, specifically in May or June, rather than at the planned start of the 2024 season. Roller coaster enthusiasts and park visitors are eagerly awaiting the official announcement of the opening day.
Anticipating the Ultimate Roller Coaster Experience
