Hyperia: Testing phase begins at Thorpe Park following recent closure

The UK’s tallest rollercoaster has begun testing after the recent closure.

Hyperia shut the day after it opened at Thorpe Park on 25th May.

The theme park said: “Understandably, many of you have been eagerly anticipating further updates and fairly assumed that the 8th June would be reopening day for the ride. However, unfortunately that is not going to be possible.”

Hyperia is 236ft tall and has a top speed of 81mph.

Thorpe Park have yet to confirm when Hyperia will reopen to visitors.
