Nrthwnd Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Loefet should get an amazing Bag-Of-Crap for all his amazing progress reports!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willh51 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 This is shaping up to be one of those projects I dreamed about making on RCT and No Limits. All the terrain hopping, tunnels, etc. That top hat has some crazy supports. This ride is going to be spectacular and looks to be a real people eater, too. Will it be running four trains?

AusCoasterFan Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Is it just me that think that this coaster has the potential to be one the best in the world. It appears to have everything: Speed Inversions Airtime Intensity G-Force Terrain Twist & Turns Lapbars and beautiful to look at! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 ^We'll see how it does in intensity but from what I've heard Blue Fire is not the most forceful ride around, despite being very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loefet Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Thanks everyone for all the comments!! The supports look a bit obtrusive on the hillside at certain points though. Makes me wonder if they flipped the track and support colors if it would look better, or just a darker color for the supports in general. Regardless, it's going to be an awesome coaster.That would only work for now, but once the landscaping department have worked their magic, like they have in the first launch area, and also give some time to the new plants/grass to at-least turn green before doing a final judgement, then it will all blend in much more into the hill. Much more so than having darker supports. Is it just me that think that this coaster has the potential to be one the best in the world. It appears to have everything:Speed Inversions Airtime Intensity G-Force Terrain Twist & Turns Lapbars and beautiful to look at! That really sums up the ride in just a few words, can't wait to experience them all together ^We'll see how it does in intensity but from what I've heard Blue Fire is not the most forceful ride around, despite being very good. There are a few things that makes me believe that Helix will be much more intense than Blue Fire. First of all is the announced maximum force between the two, where Helix have a 1 g advantage between them. Then you have all that extra steel beefing connector where the track meets the supports. Speaking of Supports then it seems like there are a lot more of them / length of track. Also the first half of the top hat really looks ludicrously tight given the speed that you will enter it with. And finally the way it will interact with other rides and features at great speeds, makes you really wanting to keep your arms and head inside the train at all costs Since Friday, they have completed the helix and also done the ending half of the zero-g before it. No real action today as of yet, but I'm pretty sure that they are doing final checks before moving to the Pretzel Loop area. I'm sorry to say that I won't be doing any in-depth updates during the coming week, so until I get back, have a nice week!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loefet Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 ^ Yeah But if the path had been clear when we where there then I could have taken one myself As you can see, there were plenty in the way that blocked our access, maybe some other time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM3988 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Rides on top of rides on top of rides. I myself am not too fond of the color scheme either. But maybe once all the foliage gets put it in then it will look a lot better. Either way, the layout itself looks amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctneil Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Those two 360 degree photos really add the scale to all the previous photos. This thing is HUGE! Really really looking forward to taking my first ride on it in June! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olov Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 They have begun working on the pretzel loop today, in other words another exciting week ahead of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercrzyjames Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Wow, Helix is looking more amazing by the day! I can't believe how massive that queue building is for the ride, I'm sure it'll utilize all of it. Can't wait to ride it in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loefet Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Nice It's going to be a lot larger than I imagined. Much in the same way as the rest of the elements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 This is looking crazier and crazier. In an AWESOME way, lol! Late June can't come any sooner, for the TPR Tour to ride this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnyworker Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Is there any picture of the loading area in the station of helix? Also, I don't know if anyone posted this earlyer, but here is a sample of the stationmusic... (same people who also made the theme to "the smiler") I really like it!

_koppen Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Judging by how tall the zero-g-roll is, the loop must be HUGE when finished. Can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
