{{Short description|Height class for roller coasters}} [[Image:Ohio_-_Cedar_Point_1.jpg|thumb|250px|right|The world's first hypercoaster, [[Magnum XL-200]] at [[Cedar Point]]]]
A '''hypercoaster''' is a [[roller coaster]] with a height or drop measuring at least {{convert|200|feet|m}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2002/06/25/health/when-brain-trauma-is-at-the-other-end-of-the-thrill-ride.html |title=When Brain Trauma Is at the Other End Of the Thrill Ride|work=[[The New York Times]] |date= 25 June 2002|accessdate=2022-10-01 |last1=Gilbert |first1=Susan }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thrillride.com/MillForce/mf.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130510002228/http://www.thrillride.com/MillForce/mf.html |archive-date=2013-05-10 |title=Millennium Force: The Hypercoaster Rules No More |publisher=Thrillride.com |date= |accessdate=2011-05-12}}</ref> The term was coined by [[Arrow Dynamics]] and [[Cedar Point]] in 1989 with the opening of the world's first hypercoaster, [[Magnum XL-200]], which features a height of {{convert|205|ft|m|abbr=off|sp=us}} and a drop of 194.7 feet (59.3 meters). The next hypercoaster, [[Phantom's Revenge|Steel Phantom]] at [[Kennywood]], opened two years later in 1991, with a drop of 225 feet (68.5 meters) and a height of 160 feet (48.8 meters).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Phantom's Revenge - Kennywood (West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, United States) |url=https://rcdb.com/123.htm |access-date=October 25, 2025 |website=Roller Coaster DataBase}}</ref>
Other roller coaster manufacturers may or may not recognize the term ''hypercoaster'' when naming their models. [[Intamin]] calls their hypercoaster model a '''Mega Coaster''', and [[Bolliger & Mabillard]] labels theirs a '''Hyper Coaster'''. The competition between amusement parks to build increasingly taller roller coasters eventually led to the next height classification for roller coasters known as [[giga coaster]]s, which have a height or drop measuring at least {{convert|300|feet|m}}. This was soon followed by the world's first [[strata coaster]]s – exceeding {{convert|400|feet|m}} – with the release of [[Top Thrill Dragster]] in 2003.
==History== The world's first hypercoaster was [[Magnum XL-200]] at [[Cedar Point]], which cost $8 million to construct. Cedar Point hired [[Arrow Dynamics]] for the design and construction began in 1988. Since its debut on May 6, 1989, Magnum XL-200 has accommodated over 36 million riders.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cedarpoint.com/public/park/rides/coasters/magnum/index.cfm |title=CP Mobile |publisher=Cedarpoint.com |access-date=2011-03-01 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101226054541/http://www.cedarpoint.com/public/park/rides/coasters/magnum/index.cfm |archive-date=2010-12-26 }}</ref> Cedar Point's official blog states that after building the ride, "...discussion was focused on just what a roller coaster such as Magnum should be called. After all, it had no loops like most of the other large steel coasters of the time and was so much bigger and faster than its non-looping brethren. After a couple of years, the name everyone agreed upon was hypercoaster."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cedarpoint.com/public/fun/blog/2009/5/23/More_Thoughts_on_Magnum.cfm |title=More Thoughts on Magnum |publisher=Cedarpoint.com |access-date=2011-05-12 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110928084955/http://www.cedarpoint.com/public/fun/blog/2009/5/23/More_Thoughts_on_Magnum.cfm |archive-date=2011-09-28 }}</ref>
==Description== Hypercoasters were originally built for speed and airtime, to counter the trend of constructing bigger and bigger looping coasters. To accomplish this the elements of a hypercoaster often include a large first drop, several additional drops of declining height, a large turn or helix, and then many airtime-inducing hills. Hypercoasters are commonly designed with an [[Out and Back roller coaster|out and back]] layout, although there are occasionally hypercoasters that use a [[Twister roller coaster|twister layout]], such as [[Raging Bull (roller coaster)|Raging Bull]] at [[Six Flags Great America]], and others that combine both, such as [[Diamondback (roller coaster)|Diamondback]] at [[Kings Island]].
Hypercoasters are highly-ranked in the annual ''[[Amusement Today]]'' Golden Ticket Awards. In 2006, [[Six Flags New England]]'s [[Superman The Ride|Superman: Ride of Steel]] (later named Bizarro and Superman The Ride) was ranked first place. Others such as [[Magnum XL-200]] (third), [[Nitro (Six Flags Great Adventure)|Nitro]] (fourth), and [[Apollo's Chariot]] (fifth) followed closely behind in the top five, with hypercoasters making up the majority of the Top 10 Steel Coasters.<ref>{{cite news|title=The List: 2006 Top 50 Steel Roller Coasters |url=http://www.goldenticketawards.com/PDF/2006GTAissue.pdf |magazine=Amusement Today |page=26 |date=September 2006 |access-date=14 May 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110724211937/http://www.goldenticketawards.com/PDF/2006GTAissue.pdf |archive-date=24 July 2011 }}</ref> By 2010, hypercoasters completely filled the top 10, as well as 16 of the top 20.<ref>{{cite news|title=The List: 2010 Top 50 Steel Roller Coasters |url=http://www.goldenticketawards.com/PDF/GTA2010issue.pdf |magazine=Amusement Today |page=34 |date=September 11, 2010 |access-date=14 May 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110724211345/http://www.goldenticketawards.com/PDF/GTA2010issue.pdf |archive-date=July 24, 2011}}</ref>
Hypercoasters were first manufactured by [[Arrow Dynamics]] in the late 1980s to early 1990s. Since then, a number of companies, including [[Bolliger & Mabillard]], [[Intamin]], [[D. H. Morgan Manufacturing]], and [[Giovanola]] have designed and constructed hypercoasters.
Though hypercoasters are typically steel roller coasters, [[Son of Beast]] at [[Kings Island]] was the first and only [[Wooden roller coaster|wooden]] hypercoaster. Due to a number of issues, the ride was eventually demolished in 2012.<ref>{{cite news |title=What's next for Son of Beast?

In 2018, Cedar Point opened the first [[Hybrid roller coaster|hybrid]] hypercoaster, [[Steel Vengeance]]. Steel Vengeance is the first hypercoaster manufactured by [[Rocky Mountain Construction]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.cleveland.com/travel/index.ssf/2017/08/steel_vengeance_is_cedar_point.html |title=Steel Vengeance is Cedar Point's record-breaking replacement for Mean Streak roller coaster (Video) | cleveland.com |date=16 August 2017 |access-date=2017-08-16 |archive-date=2017-08-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170816235714/http://www.cleveland.com/travel/index.ssf/2017/08/steel_vengeance_is_cedar_point.html |url-status=live }}</ref>
==Bolliger & Mabillard== [[File:Diamondback splashdown from the station.jpg|right|thumb|A train passes through [[Diamondback (Kings Island)|Diamondback]]'s splashdown element.]] [[Bolliger & Mabillard]] (B&M) has produced 18 models over 21 years of production of hyper coasters, making it one of the more successful models manufactured by the company.<ref>{{cite web|title=B&M Hyper Coaster|date=14 August 2012|url=https://www.bolliger-mabillard.com/product/hyper-coaster}}</ref>
The first installation of the hyper coaster was [[Apollo's Chariot]] located in [[Busch Gardens Williamsburg]].<ref name=Announcement>{{cite news|last=Deacle|first=Robin|title=New Ride Not For Mere Mortals|url=https://www.dailypress.com/1998/09/05/new-ride-not-for-mere-mortals/|access-date=January 28, 2013|newspaper=[[Daily Press (Virginia)|Daily Press]]|date=September 5, 1998|archive-date=May 31, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140531185703/http://articles.dailypress.com/1998-09-05/news/9809050076_1_busch-gardens-chariot-facts-ride|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite RCDB|coaster_name= Apollo's Chariot |location=Busch Gardens Williamsburg |rcdb_number=531|accessdate=14 August 2020}}</ref> It was one of the two models released in 1999, the other being the [[Floorless Coaster]]. It was made in a similar style to the [[TOGO]], [[D. H. Morgan Manufacturing]], and [[Arrow Dynamics]] hypercoasters. In 2012, B&M produced its first giga coaster, [[Leviathan (Canada's Wonderland)|Leviathan]] at [[Canada's Wonderland]], exceeding 300 feet in height. Bolliger & Mabillard do not use the term ''giga'', but have continued to produce roller coasters in this class.<ref>{{cite web |title=Bolliger & Mabillard – Products |url=http://www.bolliger-mabillard.com/products/products_en.aspx |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120621013654/http://www.bolliger-mabillard.com/products/products_en.aspx |archive-date=21 June 2012 |access-date=13 February 2012}}</ref>
The typical design of B&M's hyper coaster model includes a large [[lift hill]] then a large drop with a steep angle of descent, and typically includes [[Airtime hill|airtime hills]]. One exception, [[Raging Bull (roller coaster)|Raging Bull]] at [[Six Flags Great America]] does not have this standard "out-and-back" layout, but rather features a "twister" layout.<ref>{{cite news |last=Backmann |first=Dave |date=October 22, 1998 |title=Six Flags' new ride will offer 'hyper-twister' thrills |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/54534006/six-flags-new-ride-will-offer/ |access-date=July 8, 2020 |work=Kenosha News |via=Newspapers.com}}</ref>
The trains feature seven to nine cars of one row with four seats, resulting in each train seating 28 to 36 riders. Depending on the dispatch time and the number of trains, the coasters typically have a capacity of 1,200 to 1,500 riders per hour. Each seat features a unique clamshell restraint. Some trains used on B&M Hyper Coasters feature staggered seats, where the two outer seats are located farther back than the two center seats, creating a more open experience. Currently, this staggered seating arrangement is only featured on four coasters: [[Behemoth (roller coaster)|Behemoth]] at Canada's Wonderland, [[Diamondback (Kings Island)|Diamondback]] at [[Kings Island]], [[Thunder Striker]] at [[Carowinds]], and [[Shambhala (roller coaster)|Shambhala]] at [[PortAventura Park]].{{citation needed|date=February 2025}}
