Hyperia at Thorpe Park stands tall at 236 feet, making it the tallest rollercoaster in the UK. This ride invites thrill-seekers to "Find Their Fearless". With over 995 metres of twisted track and speeds of up to 81mph — the longest and fastest in the UK — Hyperia isn't just a rollercoaster, it's practically a leap of faith. And that's not all the stats on this ride. It also has the highest loop in Europe, measuring 168 feet. It also features a weightless moment — the funny feeling in your belly — totalling up to 14.8 seconds.

The rollercoaster is inspired by the daughter of an ancient River God called Hyperia, who dared to defy her fears. And with the opening of Hyperia at Thorpe Park, you too can face your fears and soar above the skies — buckled up, of course.
