At long last, the Hyperia hyper coaster at Thorpe Park opens tomorrow, May 24, 2024. And to tantalize those of us who won’t be riding it on its inaugural day of operation, the UK theme park released the highly anticipated on-ride Hyperia POV video showing the Mack Rides coaster in action.

Hyperia stands 236 feet tall and reaches a top speed of 80 mph along its 3,265-foot-long course, making it the tallest and fastest coaster in the UK. The coaster also features three inversions: an Immelmann, a “barrel roll downdrop” and a stalled dive loop.
For a glimpse of what to expect on the record-breaking coaster, watch the on-ride Hyperia POV video below.

The coaster is inspired by the Greek goddess Hyperia, “the legendary daughter of an ancient River God who dared to defy her fears.”
