I think it was last weekend, they did away with the hour time slots and made them half an hour slots, with more available in each slot. On the sold out Fright Nights days this is going to cause a lot of issues with it’s lower throughout, especially with the main queue being external for quite a...
Finally experienced a shutdown on Hyperia’s breakrun tonight, was about 16 minutes of downtime till they were able to get the train that was in the station out. - It looked like they had issues with the sensors on the restraints not registering/clearing. Which ironically was the same thing that...
This is the one aspect of Hyperia that can be really hit or miss, my first ride was on the backrow, but it took me 13 days and 33 rides for me to finally get the front row, and then on my 34th ride on the same day I got my other missing which was row 4.
For me Hyperia has the asset that it’s a...

It’s the start of the 23rd Fright Nights, so here is my initial review from the first day. This trip was also quite special as it was my friend @TalTheMajestic for their first experience of Fright Nights.
We started over at Colossus, as Hyperia had a delayed opening due to the temperature...
Following it’s weather delayed opening yesterday Hyperia did shutdown at roughly 2 and reopen at 5:30 after re-testing with dummies, but because of this they didn’t close its queue early, which considering it was only on one train, I dread to think what time the Hyperia rides team got home last...
Hyperia successfully opened today at 11:50, with one train operation, it instantly it had a 3+ hour queue, the nerves watching it test run with less and less dummies was very real.
It appears that all of 5 of the cars from Train 1 are still in the compound area around by Trailers, minus the...
According to the app, it’s reopened for the Fright Night press night.
If I recall correctly train 1 was the train that valleyed back in June, and it was the one that valleyed again yesterday.
Fingers crossed Mack Rides and Thorpe Park work together on Hyperia over the winter to stop this from happening, or atleast work on a solution for recovering trains from this spot. It’s just awful timing falling before the start of Fright Nights.
I did fear seeing just how slow the empty the...

With the announcement of the line up for 2024’s Fright Nights, I am super excited that Trailers is going to have new scenes or should I pardon the pun Trailers, and is going to finally feature the Sleepers from Platform 15, this has been my biggest wish with this maze since my all time favourite...
