Hyperion Review, Energylandia Intamin Hyper Coaster | Best Intamin in Europe? 

True!

I love this drop.

I can't wait to try Kondaa.

Agreed. Rode Kondaa back in March and Hyperion a couple of weeks ago. Kondaa is so much better.

It doesn't have as many sustained hills as some of Intamin's earlier hypers, but the ride has plenty of great moments that throw you around.

I agree.

True, the only flaw is the big camelback after the dive loop. Otherwise perfect ride. I wish they had made all camelbacks like on Expedition GeForce.

Were they on the wing?

@@CanobieCoaster wing first time. Middle seat 2nd. Both back row rides.

yup i agree wing back seat gave me a headache also

Enjoy!

I prefer Superman myself since it has more sustained airtime moments.

It's a great ride.

I’m pretty sure intamin is working with vekoma for some of there products and vice versa

It's a great ride.

Skyrush is amazing don't know what you mean

I haven't ridden Skyrush, but if it's like Hyperion but more extreme then I can see why it gets called Thighcrush.

This queue line is long, but it often hits capacity and people are waiting in front of the station building

The only time I saw the indoor section filled was at opening when the park hadn't opened the outdoor queue yet.

@@CanobieCoaster I rode hyperion today and it was extremely shaky and rough. I had a headache for an hour.

You're welcome!

Yes I do.

As it should!

It was!

It is one of their strongest.

That's fair about the seats. I was lucky I didn't have to move as a single rider every time I got the seat I wanted.

How does the half set up work?

@@CanobieCoasterthey opened the door in 2nd floor, so I didn't have to climb all the way up to 4th floor and then back down. This year I even wanted to track exact length of their ridiculous queues and they closed it on me 😀 happy they did

At least you got a workout in walking around all those ramps and stairs.

@@CanobieCoaster Definitely! Although they opened the fire exit at the second floor, so atleast that helped with going faster through it :P

Understandable.

Any hyper there would be great.

Yes

It is!

My issue with the queues weren't the amount of time I spent in them. I completely understand if a park is busy. My issue was the physical lengths of the queue lines and how there was no way to bypass them if there weren't many people in line.

@@CanobieCoaster yeah yeah, I know what you're talking about ... I'm afraid there's nothing else that can be done about it... 🙄

Filling all space sort of defeats a spacious queue in my opinion. I agree Port Aventura had a lot of queue jumping too.

​@@CanobieCoaster I still wouldnt account filling in free spaces as "line jumping" its smart people taking advantage of the situation. The amount of times I have been in a cattle pen and some absolute half brain is too glued to their phone to move when there is space ahead is shocking. With these wider queue lines, if someone is not paying attention in the queue line and not moving, then if you decide to fill in the spare void in the queue ahead of them, its really not going to impact when they get on the ride at all and if it does, it is their fault for not paying attention. In PortAventura, as much as i love the park, i got so so so angry at times at people literally climbing over fences and borderline assaulting people to get to their friends ahead of them. Never one in a queue in Energylandia did i experience proper line jumping. Im from Ireland, so i completely understand why Energylandia make the queues so wide...to stop people feeling claustrophobic and to make queuing as comfortable as possibe. PS Please do not take this as hate. I LOVE your videos, I personally think you are the best reviewer on RU-vid but just coming from the EU myself, and been to Orlando 9 times, give me a spacious queue line where i can take advantage of people not paying attention and i can walk past them without actually feeling like i am queue jumping EVERY DAY over being stuck in a cattle pen and having to borderline argue with the person in front of me to move. If you ever plan on coming to Ireland and visiting Tayto Park (they are getting a vekoma suspended thrill coaster next year and one of the best woodies on the planet in the Chu Chulainn Coaster (pronounced Koo Cullin after an irish mythical legend) I would love to meet up and teach you the culture.

That drop is quite powerful.

@@CanobieCoaster we all have our limits, and I suppose this is close to mine. Of couse I will try more and different coasters when I'll have a chance, but at least I know what to pay attention to

I hope Vekoma gets their chance one day!

the track look like it comes from vekoma

Nice!

I'm surprised they changed it.

@@CanobieCoaster same

@@MillenniumForceMan I always liked the Vekoma layout better, but I feel that the layout just got progressively worse with each change, this layout easily being the worst one. 5/10, should have gotten a Vekoma.

Kondaa takes the crown for me.

Me too.

It does.

I agree Europe has some amazing coasters!

I can dream!

Sure is!

I tend to have a lot to say.

Both are excellent rides.

This park is a must for any enthusiast now.

The single rider line only had a half second delay and most people were using it as groups.

I didn't notice that.

I prefer Skyrush since the forces are more extreme.

True!

The rides are worth all the hassle though.

Very true!

Don’t forget they were probably drunk when they designed it

@@zack9777 design?! I think they do not design 😆

That door sadly wasn't open for me. Wish it was!

It probably would improve the ride.

Hyperion's queue line does save space by going vertical, but the lack of a cut-through is frustrating. Zadra's is puzzling. The turnstiles are designed to make sure every seat is filled. It does a good job of that. The downside is that groups can get split up and you aren't guaranteed the seat you want.

Gotham City Escape is definitely better.

That's awesome!

Possibly!

In the end, I'm happy with the Intamin.

Similar

I prefer both Zadra and Hyperion to Taron, but I prefer Phantasialand to Energylandia.

@@CanobieCoaster yup. That describes it pretty well. You can ride great coasters in Energylandia. But you can have an excelent time in Phantasialand.

I too prefer Zadra. I didn't have an issue with roughness, but you're not the first to run into that problem.

I went again yesterday, and this time I managed to get the inner seat. Can confirm that it's much smoother - I could do three rides in a row no problem, but last time on the wing seat I had to have a break after every ride. Sunday in April seems like a good time to visit - there were almost no queues (longest was 10 mins but it was usually almost nothing). Made it much easier to get the middle seats as a single rider.

I haven't ridden Kondaa since Walibi Belgium was still closed due to flooding.

Wow that's a major help!

I prefer GeForce.

Enjoy!

Haven't ridden Kondaa, but I prefer GeForce over this one.

I rode in that seat and had no issues. Maybe a specific train is bad?

@@CanobieCoaster everyone is complaining right know, back seat outside is terrible. Also did front seat not complaining about that

I agree GeForce is. I haven't been on Kondaa though.

I have been on this and Kondaa and Kondaa destroys hyperion

Having ridden both this and EGF I agree EGF is definitely better.

The ride feels like Skyrush and Superman the Ride combined.

I didn't get airtime on the middle hill even on a summer night.

They got funding at the start. Are they still?

I didn't encounter lines like the ones at Energylandia at any other parks in Europe, including the nearby Legendia.

I like Taron, but I find it a bit overrated.

@@CanobieCoaster the theming is world class though only hagrids can top it

It was definitely frustrating.

What’s the problem with the queue line system? I’m here for my second day, no complaints from me… i like the system here

@@onra One, the walk is WAY too long.. Two, it is too wide and easy for line jumpers but THREE, the worst part is, you can't just queue up for any row you like, easily, like you can in almost every park in the USA.

This queue is amazing lol, the turnstiles are really good + you can choose where you sit

@@upsidedown_ I can clearly see that they let only a certain amount of people through per train and everyone would be rushing for their favourite seat.. each seat can only hold 1 person, so I do not know what shit you are full of but you are.

Lol

That's fair. I enjoy the violent airtime still.

Wild Thing has a better...queue line.

Sounds like it must have run really slowly for you.

@@CanobieCoaster yes it felt like that :/

I thought this was still a very strong ride.
