Out of this world debut for Hyperion P
oland’s newest record-breaking coaster, Hyperion, debuted at Energylandia Park on July 14 – which was, additionally, the park’s 4th
anniversary. Celebrations went on across the weekend as riders enjoyed a coaster a year in the making. Hyperion is now the highest and fastest coaster in
Europe, located in Zator, Poland. Construction began in October 2017 with the first parts of the Intamin ride
being delivered and installed in December of the same year. The coaster, which stretches to heights of 61-91m,
rushes through an 8m deep, 20m wide tunnel at speeds of up to 142 km/h – faster than is allowed on Polish motorways! An initial dive measures 80m with an 84 degree inclination, and the 1450m track features water and gravitational effects, periods of weightlessness,
rotational track slopes, double turns, and positive and negative load factors. Hyperion is themed to resemble an abandoned
research station, and riders take on the role of astronauts embarking on a mission to Saturn’s moon; Hyperion. However, the ship encounters a black hole and is drawn into a wormhole, discovering a different universe and a strange twin of planet Earth, named Hyper Novi.
Beach Party at
Legoland Japan Legoland Japan has unveiled the first new addition to the park since its opening in April 2017 – a water play area “Lego City Beach Party”. The new area comes as part of a plan to boost the number of visitors during the summer break. Local children were invited to the Nagoya park to take part in the unveiling of the attraction, which featured Lego block-inspired sliders and other playground equipment in a basin of water about 10-centimeters deep. Lego City Beach Party also houses a splash pad, slides, and a tipping bucket. Torben Jensen, president of Legoland Japan,
hopes that children will be able to beat the heat and build their own Lego boats to float on the water.
