Answer

Ruling: You cannot flip a hidden card and pay its original cost on the same turn you hide it. You must wait until the next turn to play it.

Sequence:

  • Pay the power cost to hide the Action spell facedown at a battlefield
  • Wait until the next turn
  • The card gains Reaction and can be played, ignoring its base cost

Nuances:

  • The hide ability specifically states "Beginning on the next turn" the card gains Reaction and can be played ignoring its base cost
  • While the wording says "you may play," the timing restriction of "beginning on the next turn" prevents playing it on the turn it was hidden

Does this answer look correct?
