First time on Hyperia
I’m going to Thorpe soon for the first time and I’m dead set on riding hyperia, but I’m still a little nervous. I’ve ridden everything at Alton Towers and loved it. My plan is to ride the swarm first, then saw before trying hyperia. My biggest issue with coasters is big drops, especially the feeling you get in your stomach. I purposefully rode Oblivion recently to try and get over that fear but it didn’t work well as it isn’t really a ride you get the stomach drop sensation on. I definitely don’t want to ride Stealth since launches freak me out so that’s out of the question. Considering the fact that I’ll probably only get on about three rides, is this a good plan or should I try something else?
EDIT: I literally just got off. Oh my god. First of all I’d like to say thank you to everyone who encouraged me to try this coaster. I ended up getting on immediately after the swarm. I got back row which freaked me out initially but WOW. That drop is no joke. I didn’t necessarily get the stomach drop, just very intense weightlessness and the feeling that I was going to fall out. It’s amazing, 10/10. Take this as a lesson to just get on the rollercoaster, even if you’re absolutely terrified. It’s so worth it.
