UK’s tallest rollercoaster could remain shut for two weeks
The tallest rollercoaster in the UK could remain shut for two weeks following “unforeseen circumstances”.
Hyperia shut one day after it opened at Thorpe Park in Chertsey, Surrey, on Friday – with it expected to be closed until at least Wednesday.
Now the theme park says it is “unable to commit” to reopening the ride before 8 June.
A spokesperson said: “We will continue to do everything in our power to open the ride earlier.”
Thorpe Park says Hyperia is the tallest and fastest rollercoaster in the country – exceeding 80mph (129km/h).
The ride includes 3,264ft (995m) of track, is 236ft (72m) tall and has the tallest loop in Europe, according to the adventure park.
Visitors who have pre-booked a visit for up to and including 7 June can change their booking online.
Those who visited on Saturday are entitled to a free return visit.
