_koppen Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Oh, and I just remembered: I'll be riding Helix AND Piraten with just one day in between. Top 2 coasters in northern Scandinavia, that's what that is. Add Balder, Lisebergsbanan and Juvelen and you almost have top 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrunoH Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 The music is awesome, but it still has NOTHING on the reigning champion! [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] Yep, that Music is stunning for a queue tune! Just to bad that everything Russian gives a bad taste in the mouth these days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loefet Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Helix Blog Update - The queue is taking shape Lisa posted another update this week, this time she is concentrating on the status on how the queue is progressing. There are loads of people moving around in the station area. Preparations in the maintenance area are done to receive the trains tomorrow, electrical works to hook up the control booth is progressing to prepare the ride for testing, the façade is being installed, the roof is nearing completion, etc. But the area that requires the most work on site is the queue itself. Mainly because it's very complex but also since it's pretty long. The capacity of the queue is 1000 people (not sure if this includes the overflow area or not). Source: http://projekthelix.se/kofallan-tar-form/ Images!! Angles and paths underneath the station trough Underneath he platform, the small stair to the right is the chicken-exit There are loads of stuff happening in the main area, but all the extra scaffoldings makes it's hard to get an idea on how it will look eventually A view from the Express-pass entrance, you can see the overflow area to the left side, and to the right there is the continuation of the Express-pass line On the path you saw in the image above, it will continue down a set of stairs, then meet the normal queue at the platform where the chicken-exit came down on in a picture above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike541x Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Everything about this ride is absolutely mind blowing. From the ride itself, to the station, it looks so amazing! I really can't wait to see this thing when it's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xcoaster Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 The less techno-y bits of the Helix soundtrack actually remind me a lot of Blue Fire's soundtrack (appropriately enough). Can't wait to ride in June (and maybe add another soundtrack to the collection). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernierocker Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Can't wait to see the reports from the TPR Scandi Trip. This ride looks like it is going to be just pure, awesome fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 ^Same here. I need to get back to Liseberg some day. Hell, I'd say that even if they weren't building a new ride like Helix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixelated85 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 That helix before the second launch looks amazing. Very aesthetically pleasing. Super stoked to see this ride in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ap0ptosis Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Hopefully it wont be forgotten in all the wildfire chaos as the test run will be the day before the big announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 ^I was also thinking the same! That will be a pretty important week and, guess what: it will be THE ONLY week in the whole year when I probably won't have internet/computer access due to a school trip. Great.....

Gnome Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 The question burning on my mind is.... when does TPR get the POV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loefet Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 ^ Since Lisa on the blog have stated that they intend to put a camera on the first go, then I would say that it's due in 2 weeks By the way it looks like they are making preparations to add the first train to it's bay in the maintenance shed. Heck they even brought out the vacuum cleaner to clear up the concrete slab underneath the switch track They even brought up a massive crane for the job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 About the music CD, I'm 80% sure Liseberg would sell it if people keep saying that Sign me up for the next Scandi trip! Can't wait to go there when I'm 18! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loefet Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 ^ Will ask Lisa about the CD. About cleaning the slab, seems like they did it as a preparation to pain it, since it's now turning black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
