Quite possibly the most intense coaster I have ever experienced.
There's plenty of excitement and sheer terror as you are slowly wheeled out into the launch zone. And there's plenty of time for fun and exhileration when you catapult out of there on on of the world's quickest blast-offs.

Intensity. That's what Hypersonic is all about. It's a very short ride, but the two jolts of airtime and the warp-speed launch appease me.

This ride's launch looks crazy. I wonder if it's scarier than Top Thrill Dragster.

I hated HyperSonic XLC. I would even go as far as saying it's one of the worst coasters I have ever been on. It just wasn't fun.

Hypersonic is just plain amazing. Sure it's short, but the lauch is like no other, along with the INSANE ejector air in two spots.

The launch was very intense. The rest of the ride is very rough. When looking at the track, you can see the pain.

Hypersonic is an intense ride with a launch not found on any coaster in the US. Overall a great launch coaster.

This is the only roller coaster I ever screamed on. But actually it was a little dissapointing because it was so short. I just love the anticipation. I also thinks it gets shut down a lot because it was closed for the rest of the day.

Maybe if HyperSonic worked more often, I would say its a good ride. But 4 times the charm for me with visiting this park before I finally got to ride it and well I was let down. The launch was amazing and the airtime at the top of the hill was great. Other than that there is nothing else to the ride. Not to mention, for aircraft tires, it STILL handles roughly and the braking at the end is horrible. Feels like you're hitting a brick wall.

I hate this ride. I waited 2 hours for it, and the line has no shade. The ride isn't that good either. The launch is OK (but overrated IMO) and the spike had no air (I rode in back too). I'll probably skip this next time I'm at PKD.

I really liked the launch of this coaster! The launch was better than TTD and KK, it seemed more intense since it took place in such a short distance, IMO. But, sadly, that was the only good part of the ride. The rest was strangely rough, nothing like I was expecting. Not to mention the horrid braking system that was both unnecessaryily loud and entirely too hard stopping.

The launch is amongst the best I've experienced. The hump and the rest of the ride is painful.

I hated this ride! The wait was always way too long for such a short ride. The times it was running (which was rare) the line was almost 2 hours.
