I am gutted that Minecraft is what will replace Wild Asia at Chessington, and that this investment adds yet another IP to Chessington's World Of IPS. World Of Jumanji, Gruffalo, Room On The Broom, Elmer’s Flying Jumbos.

If this is a Kingda2Ka investment like the style that Cedar Point did with TTD into Top Thrill 2, let’s hope that this time, it’s an Intamin project over a Zamperla one.
This year for myself, I started tracking my rides and rows on Hyperia, as I wanted a complete view of every ride I did on it. Which I did previously share in the Hyperia thread, but I will share it again here for completeness.
Now this might just be the start of the off-season blues to do this...

It appears that there are uncertain times ahead for Merlin Magic Making.
For me it was only slower during its first couple of public ones on each train, or the first couple after it experienced a shutdown for a window of time. I’d also say that towards the front of the train in these situations it is a little more noticeable than the back, so they may have also got...
For me I didn’t feel like there was one train that was rougher than the other one. However the cars I preferred the most were car 1 (rows: 1&2) and car 5 (rows: 9&10).
That being said Hyperia is still a really enjoyable coaster in any row at any time of day, which thankfully is a good thing...
At the conclusion of the 2024 season, I managed to experience 92 rides on Hyperia across 28 days. I knew from the start that I wanted to track all of my rides and rows.
Considering it was my 33rd ride on the 24th August when I finally got the front row ride, it was crazy luck that that it...

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...
