Progress on Hyperia over the past week has been insane! The top of the non-inverted immelmann has been topped and completed and the most exciting part is about the begin. Work on the lift hill is next...
Over the past week, lots of sections of track and supports have been installed. On Wednesday the park shared photos of the non-inverted immelmann being completed and since then work on the element next to it has progressed rapidly. The first support for the lift hill has also been installed. Another support comes off of this for the stall turn.
Around the rest of the site, plants have been delivered, the maintenance bay has had a gold shutter added to it, work continues rebuilding the shop and photo unit and work on fitting the stairs into the station has begun. Last week we spotted that a window had been cut into the side of the station, since then more framework has been installed inside the station for what we expect will become the operator cabin. No sign of the famous Mack Rides bag system yet. It would also appear that parts for the lift have been delivered, wrapped up in the middle of the site waiting to be installed. Part of the old Platform 15 fence has also been removed and replaced with a new wooden fence. Hopefully, the rest of the fence will be removed over the next few weeks and replaced with this.
Hyperia is looking more amazing with every visit we make to the park! At a guess, we would say that over 80% of track and supports are now installed.
