The ride was manufactured by Mack Rides and designed specifically to follow the contours of the Liseberg hill.
Helix holds the record for being the longest roller coaster in Scandinavia.
The ride incorporates two zero-G rolls into its sequence of seven inversions.
The magnetic launch technology allows the train to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in approximately 2 seconds.
The total ride time from the first launch to the final brake run is roughly 110 seconds.
Helix is a dual-launch steel roller coaster located at Liseberg amusement park in Gothenburg, Sweden. Opened in 2014, the ride features two magnetic linear synchronous motor launches rather than a traditional chain lift hill. The track spans 1,381 meters in length and reaches a top speed of 100 kilometers per hour. Riders experience seven inversions, including heartline rolls, corkscrews, and a Norwegian loop. The coaster utilizes magnetic braking systems to ensure a smooth deceleration. Its layout incorporates the natural hilly terrain of the park, creating elevation changes that enhance the ride experience. The train design features open-sided cars with over-the-shoulder restraints. Helix is widely recognized for its high capacity and consistent reliability in the amusement industry.
