It's 235ft (from sea level).
Or as they'll soon market it, 500,000 ft (from earth's core)

This is Mack. They have a Flash clone in Turkey, at Land of Legends. Mack is not scared to add inversions to their hypers and can work with weird plots of land.

Well my comment on a Mack Rides video may have aged extremely well 
It was in my original list of hopes to happen, so I’ll take this as a win

Really should've called that a prediction.

Anyone been on DC Rivals or the Turkish one then? Always thought the hype around DC was the backwards seats.
Delighted with this tbh. Well done Thorpe for showing some ambition and focussing on building a coaster thats actually quite good.
Relieved/surprised it's not a B&M Dive Machine.

Assuming it is a Mack hyper…. is DC Rivals actually particularly good? Beyond being the best coaster in Australia? Looks OK but all POVs are shaky-jake.
Batman himself rates it top 25 so that’s a good sign: https://heartlinecoaster.com/2020/07/03/top-10/
I just inherently think Mack -> blue fire -> meh.

If it ends up being Mack… I’m hoping it’s more RTH and Helix than Blue fire…
Yes i have been on the hyper at the land of legends in turkey it an awesome ride (my number 2 coaster just behind shammy b) and i can safely say i am more than happy with this announcement and surprised too !! well done thorpe park lets just pray this gets through planning.
Who else thinks merlin will go for the worlds highest inversion here as we all no they love there gimmicks and records?

Well after thinking about it I'm going to switch teams: I'm in the Mack Hyper gang now, goodbye B&M Hyper gang. Mack's latest creations are truly world-class and extremely consistently incredible.
Under the new layout designer we've seen Hurricane Roller Coaster, DC Rivals, and Ride to Happiness. I really, really hope it's a Mack because with them and their current layout designer we can see something truly special hit the UK coaster scene.
Lap bars, check. Airtime, check. No inversions... well I hope they're non-inverting elements, I'd love to experience a non-inverting loop.

Or this ****ing beast:
Suzhou Paradise Forest World | Suzhou China | Theme Park
That looks incredible and surprisingly well-paced for a Mack. That top hat tho... that looks stupidly intense.

I've done DC rivals, in Aussie summer, end of the day, and it was insane. The bunny hops at the end were honestly getting on painful, that's how much the thing was flying. Pretty insane and intense coaster if I'm being honest. SO to say Thorpe may be possibly getting one, 30+feet bigger pretty excited!

Someone isn’t happy
Incoming petition to re-evaluate the sea level at Blackpool, I guess ... perhaps it actually is two feet lower than previously assumed?

In actuality, rising sea levels probably means the coaster is actually only around 230ft tall these days compared to 30 years ago.
On another note, am I right in thinking Thorpe will be only the second park in Europe to have two hypers, after Energylandia?

I think yes, unless we count the grey area of Ferrari Land as it’s part of PortAventura.
