Hyperion opened at 20:00 local time Saturday, at Energylandia, Poland.
The tallest and fastest coaster in Europe is now open as thousands currently wait in line for their chance to ride the massive coaster. This brings Energylandia's total coaster-count up to 12, with two more planned for the near future.
Twitter videos and photos of the massive crowd were uploaded and can be seen below.

The ride soars over 250 feet into the air and features an 85-degree drop straight into a tunnel. Reaching speeds up to 87 mph, the new coaster lining the park's parking lot travels over numerous hills and turns, and features water effects and plenty of airtime.
