Captain’s Review

Highlights

  • first drop
  • outer bank
  • airtime
  • hang time
  • smooth restraints

Concerns

  • short ride length
  • rattle in train

Hyperia is overwhelmingly celebrated for its jaw‑dropping first drop, spectacular airtime and hang‑time elements, and the overall intensity of the layout. Riders consistently praise the unique outer‑banked turn and the smooth lap‑bar restraints. The coaster’s short duration and occasional rattling in the trains are the most common drawbacks. Limited theming and long wait times also receive frequent criticism, but they do not detract from its status as the UK’s top coaster for most guests.
