Liseberg Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

Thanks all for the comments.

Had another opportunity to drive by the park today, and even if the rain was pouring down the RCS guys were working hard installing the first corkscrew.

Shame that the Web-cam are off during the weekend so we can't see anything

 

Looks like there won't be a construction tour for me

Oh well, here's to hoping there will be another one.

Yeah it's a shame you couldn't join in. Will do my best to take as many images as possible so you can enjoy the most of it on your computer.

Fortunately they said that it's likely that there will be a few more, if not then there are other ways to arrange something similar in the future and I'll give you a heads up if you are interested if it comes to that.

Really looking forward to your photos, as usual.

Hopefully I will get another chance.

 

And I also hope that there will be some more track put up before Tuesday, so you will get more some eye candy to enjoy!

Massive Helix behind the scenes update 2013-11-12

 

First of all I would like to really thank the people at Liseberg for creating this opportunity for many of us that are interested in the Helix construction. I have to say that there were a lot more people there than I expected, which was really nice to see. We got access to all the "safe" areas since there were lot's of work going on at all sites, so there are a few spots where I can't give any close up images. But it still easily beats standing on top of a hill/parking structure trying to any great details.

We were fortunate to see the top of the second corkscrew were installed, so the track work is progressing nicely, just a few pieces left until the whole section from the drop out of the station to the turn after the second corkscrew is completed. There were still many footers being worked on, so there is plenty of stuff to do before all the track can be put into place.

Also, this day marked a big step in the landscaping of the ride where the first 2 out of 200 trees were planted, all these trees will insure that the hill will become as dense and lush as it have before which will make the ride on Helix/Lisebergbanan a real treat. These trees aren't perfect ones (straight and symmetrical) but are allowed to grow as they like to increase the natural look of the area. Getting 2:nd rate trees also allowed Liseberg to get a massive rebate when purchasing them, which is always a plus since those funds can be used to get more themeing, landscaping, etc.

 

Now onto the images!!

First up a few from the hill across the highway, then images from the visit and then finally another massive panorama for you all to explore at home

 

Enjoy!!

Second launch getting even more work

Helix_11_3_03.thumb.JPG.d813b987861b8ceef1605d7636f45efc.JPG

Now into the park we go, several people have eagerly gathered outside to have a sneak peak of Helix

Helix_11_3_04.thumb.JPG.32a21f8019dbd41177700b53028dbfcb.JPG

My first close encounter of Helix apart from petting some supports through the fence of the staging area

Helix_11_3_05.thumb.JPG.7953327d8ae22dcf7fc4f75948618d1c.JPG

Mmmm, can't wait

Helix_11_3_06.thumb.JPG.34ed3936ad37ab488cfaddc9385bd35c.JPG

Getting close where you will be propelled up to 80 Km/h

Helix_11_3_07.thumb.JPG.85bd5c7bdcf0dd1c9bac1be2ba517c7c.JPG

First you will drop down this slope (they have rotated the supports I noted in the earlier pictures Liseberg posted on their blog :) )

Helix_11_3_08.thumb.JPG.1819a6be2d5f9ddca8678d48766c0fd4.JPG

Then you go into these nice looking twisty bit

Helix_11_3_09.thumb.JPG.05bd5e87d0e5806963d9f5e825fe71bc.JPG

Shoot across the path

Fly by the freshly planted trees

Tightly sneaking past these old ones

This is the end of the Helix teaser since..

Helix_11_3_14.thumb.JPG.27cb4d5b56deb7076c395e5608e44632.JPG

..once you hit these there is no turning back

Helix_11_3_15.thumb.JPG.80f89e3e99beb8edc8acbab12d1846e3.JPG

After the first launch there is a tight passage over the escalator..

Helix_11_3_16.thumb.JPG.b174852a324be5238f092585b5308b16.JPG

..and into the second corkscrew

Helix_11_3_17.thumb.JPG.355a172ea88c281024a8b67e5aaf441e.JPG

It's really funny to see how many variations there are on the track on Helix, this one it a bit strange compared to the other ones

Helix_11_3_18.thumb.JPG.cea90b6333a2dd82475de6401222fadf.JPG

Atmosfear still dominates Liseberg.

Note, there will be a third web-cam coming on-line soon giving a birds eye view of big parts of the building site from the top of Atmosfear <3

This area looks great with Helix zooming past overhead

Helix_11_3_20.thumb.JPG.db949568e680dbb1efac33f3ecaea616.JPG

Nice curves

Soon to be completed first corkscrew

Helix_11_3_22.thumb.JPG.4c897526f28dbd070cd0b2c77cc9ed9f.JPG

Some winter theming is going in

Helix_11_3_23.thumb.JPG.b92f9bb2d72d71df267a07d27a0a7956.JPG

Work is well under way for the massive structure that will be underground to support the Pretzel-loop

Helix_11_3_24.thumb.JPG.99a78dff6ec1871a78a03206a94c955d.JPG

Mmmmm

Helix_11_3_25.thumb.JPG.2ce3fe77631e40f8ffbd5939b8cf8e26.JPG

Several supports for the turnaround that will get you to the in-line area

Helix_11_3_26.thumb.JPG.cf2cfb02877bcc046bec41379a3cd465.JPG

They will fix Lisebergbanan once they start work on the Helix footers here

Helix_11_3_27.thumb.JPG.2be025b6a5acd16c13e316069ca7ad96.JPG

Helix will completely dominate this area, towering 15 meters above Uppswinget which is in itself 20 meters tall

Helix_11_3_28.thumb.JPG.14c3368d8bddab9d771d5daea28c13bd.JPG

More Corkscrew action

More footers at the Helix helix

Helix_11_3_31.thumb.JPG.e0da45242efaa82cdbcf7e50a492b124.JPG

Somewhere between the zero-g and the helix

Helix_11_3_32.thumb.JPG.5cf362689a6a3d4ffa0c24105833d4a0.JPG

Helix will dive underneath Lisebergbanan at these brakes and dive into it's helix

Helix_11_3_33.thumb.JPG.0de6700989cd619ebc77fa9915f12689.JPG

Also behind (where the people are standing) there is the famous super tight passage into the second launch.

Liseberg are confident that it will all fit, but there are still some doubts and we don't really know until the track is installed here

Helix_11_3_34.thumb.JPG.13209484427e9773a83a273471df6629.JPG

Looking back on the Lisebergbanan passage

Helix_11_3_35.thumb.JPG.b034c5174e8d4c3743d184d5aedf88f2.JPG

Then we did a little excursion to the staging area, and had a look inside

Helix_11_3_36.thumb.JPG.5c778d7a6ab592c19cd66417191db3c6.JPG

Just a few more pieces here, they really need to get more deliveries to keep on working

Helix_11_3_37.thumb.JPG.e49169e7062b091622875a24fb84bfbb.JPG

This piece will go right before the second launch, by the look of these brackets for the cat-walks

Mr Crane looking tall

Helix_11_3_39.thumb.JPG.5e7833a36a7574359f06c8e390735b6f.JPG

Really hard to know where this piece will go, but I would guess it may be a part of the s-turns before the in-line

Helix_11_3_40.thumb.JPG.48c1b4b80f5c04fbf259e3a8b6ae19e0.JPG

Second launch are going to be epic

Helix_11_3_41.thumb.JPG.b7b7a9191ac53b1ae54b557640f34545.JPG

Another support, this time for Flume Ride, have been removed so that the work on Helix can progress

Helix_11_3_42.thumb.JPG.9752a0e2b588abe3ce978bcf8317cabf.JPG

Tight hole from the other direction

Can't wait to go spinning out of control through here

Helix_11_3_52.thumb.JPG.9a1184c8f8453d779994414b6d2dc4a2.JPG

Some more new footers

Helix_11_3_53.thumb.JPG.41fb615a7cc850dceac085a1c03e7b92.JPG

Some that are getting ready to pour

Helix_11_3_54.thumb.JPG.2fee069912885d32d144d863527d32c2.JPG

Lot's of work still left to do in this area

Helix_11_3_55.thumb.JPG.189f78612777b0ae04ebded74e37613f.JPG

Station through

Helix_11_3_56.thumb.JPG.2b0b1b0abb3f83d64c75d8b91d347426.JPG

With the future maintenance area next to it, it will be situated onto of all these poles to the left

And with this image we near the end of this update.

A massive Thank You!! to Liseberg that made this all possible I would love to come back sometime to have another look soon :)

 

But until the next update, you all have a great time!!

Panorama 2013-11-12.zip

This is the final piece of this update, another massive panorama of the whole mountain side, download, unzip and explore the whole area yourself.

Enjoy!!

Excellent update Loefet!

Been waiting all day long for this and I'm satisfied

Can't wait to enter the park and see the train swosh down that turn after the first corkscrew. Colours of the support and track looks very fitting with the surrounding area and Liseberg's colour palette.

Great update. This is one heck of a nice looking coaster and, like others have said, it fits perfectly with its surroundings.

 

I'm slightly jealous of those going on the Scandi trip, but they're definitely in for a treat (and they know it.)

A freakin' fabulouz update mr. Loefet! I was super bummed out that I missed the tour, especially since I will be going to Gothenburg in just a few hours. But when Im there I'll be living at the gothia towers just next door so hopefully I'll be able to snap some pics and keep you guys updated!
