Final Pieces Added to the UK’s Tallest & Fastest Rollercoaster

Set to open this Spring: Hyperia

The final piece of the track for Hyperia, the UK’s tallest AND fastest rollercoaster, has been built at Thorpe Park. With assistance from a 500 ton crane, this final piece was lifted into position.

This new rollercoaster has three loops- a dive loop, a stall loop and a non-inverted Immelmann- whilst reaching heights of 236ft and speeds of up to 80mph.

Neil Poulter, Divisional Director at Thorpe Park said:

We’re delighted to be launching the UK’s tallest, fastest and most weightless ride here at Thorpe Park in 2024 and bringing guests a brand-new record-breaking attraction which has been years in the making. We are excited for Thrill seekers to be able to experience Hyperia which will be an amazing addition to our other record-breaking rides. Thorpe Park is a must-visit for those looking to embark on an exhilarating adventure with friends and family.”

Thorpe Park is open from 23rd March until 3 November 2024.
