What is a hyper coaster?

A hypercoaster is a type of roller coaster known for its tall, steep drops and high speeds. These coasters typically have a minimum height requirement of around 200 feet and can reach speeds of up to 80 miles per hour. The term "hyper" refers to the coaster's height and speed, giving riders an adrenaline-filled experience.

Hypercoasters are popular among thrill-seekers for their intense drops and airtime, which is the sensation of feeling weightless as the coaster lifts riders out of their seats. These coasters often feature large, sweeping curves and long, straight stretches of track, allowing for maximum speed and momentum.

Some well-known hypercoasters include Millennium Force at Cedar Point, Intimidator 305 at Kings Dominion, and Fury 325 at Carowinds. These coasters are typically located at major amusement parks and are considered one of the most thrilling and exhilarating ride experiences.
