Thorpe Park is ushering in 2024 with groundbreaking novelties. Central to these are the introduction of the country's tallest and fastest roller coaster, Hyperia, and the opening of a new themed area – “Big Easy Boulevard,” inspired by the relaxed lifestyle of New Orleans.
Hyperia – A New Landmark in the Roller Coaster World
Hyperia is setting new standards in the world of roller coasters. Standing at 72 meters tall and reaching top speeds of over 130 km/h, this golden goddess promises an unparalleled ride experience. It stands out with a globally unique design, Europe's highest inversion, and more weightless moments than any other roller coaster in the country. Hyperia is not just a technical achievement but also promises an unforgettable experience for adrenaline junkies and roller coaster enthusiasts.
Big Easy Boulevard – A Slice of New Orleans in the UK
The newly designed area, “Big Easy Boulevard,” brings the flair of New Orleans straight to Britain. Visitors can immerse themselves in a world inspired by the laid-back and vibrant culture of the famous South American city. The “Detonator,” an exciting attraction that plunges guests from a height of 30 meters into a spectacular adventure, is just one of the highlights of this area.
A Paradise for Roller Coaster Fans and Families
In addition to Hyperia and Big Easy Boulevard, Thorpe Park offers an impressive selection of rides and attractions. Stealth, one of Europe's fastest roller coasters, accelerates from 0 to 130 km/h in less than two seconds.
