Energylandia in Poland has announced that Europe's second tallest and fastest roller coaster will open on Saturday 14th July. The all-new ride is over 252ft tall, reaches a top speed of 142km/h and is called Hyperion.

Energylandia is located near the town of Zator, less than half an hour drive from Kraków.

The theme park opened as recently as 2014 and already includes 70 rides and attractions over 26 hectares. Current highlights include the launched coaster Formula and inverted coaster Mayan.

Hyperion begins with a 265.8ft drop at 85° into a tunnel, launches into an ejector airtime hill and completes a twist and dive manoeuvre. It then enters a high speed over-banked hill, goes over a speed bump and onto a floater airtime hill then into a panoramic wave turn.

Next, the ride goes over another speed bump and into a stengel dive, an over-banked turn, two double s-curves, an s-hump with airtime, an ejector airtime hill with a water splash and finally jumps into the brakes.

The tallest and fastest roller coaster in Europe is currently Red Force in Ferrari Land at PortAventura, which has a top speed of 180km/h and is 367.3ft tall.

Hyperion has been manufactured by Intamin and will open at 8pm on Saturday 14th July 2018.
