Loefet Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 ^ That's for you to find out in a few days.. Also, after some more thought then one of the fears I had may not be as bad as I initially imagined.
linearinduction Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 ^ Your Worst Fear, Eh? Dying of Anticipation?
Ap0ptosis Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 Guys, why focus on the fears? It is the "new light" part that deserves recognition!
Loefet Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 (edited) ^^ LOL, I mean really LOL ^ Exactly To say it like this, these fears have been discussed here on TPR before, but as I said, a new perspective might change some of those fears. But fear of dying of anticipation is now my main concern On the new light part, then OMG!! Remember the Wildfire topic, pretty much the same feeling I have now Can't wait to ride Helix!! Edited April 12, 2014 by Loefet
lond Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 I also got that highly secret link and it plays very well on my big screen tv /// Marcus
Loefet Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 ^ Stop saying things After talking some more with the guy that sent me that link, then I'm really happy with the things I have seen, and my only fear now is the dying of anticipation thing Makes me feel really good about Helix now. I say this now, nice and warm weather can't come quick enough now So it may be a great thing that the TPR trip isn't happening until June
Locostitch Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 Wait what Liseberg is going to announce a new RMC and your fear is that the RMC coaster wars is starting.
Loefet Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 ^ Unfortunately not, I meant the general excitement of that topic. But then again an RMC coaster war here in Sweden would have been epic.
gerstlaueringvar Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 Liseberg already has an Intamin woodie, an new RMC woodie is too great to be true. ^ Skara would be a great place!
Loefet Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 Skara Sommarland anyone? Please! Yeah, that would be the only place we would ever see one here in Sweden as it stands at the moment, but I would say that it would be highly unlikely, since it's owned by the same people as Kolmården, unless they did some kind of 2 coaster deal. ^ Never said anything about an RMC at Liseberg, just the general excitement of that topic, reflects my feelings about Helix now. I think it have been a good thing that I got these fears after receiving the link, since it have brought my expectations down quite a bit since I'm now doubting my predetermined thoughts I have had about Helix, which will make it easier to enjoy Helix for the great ride it is, instead of leaving me with a feeling of disappointment due to it not being able to live up to my expectations in the first place. I have had that feeling before, and it's not nice. Expecting too much based on earlier reviews but ended up flat when I finally experienced the rides myself. Looking at you both, Silver Star and (especially) EGF.. To you all going on the opening day, then I just say this, it may be better to ride a bit later in the day rather at the beginning, and also hope for nice and warm weather (it do look great next weekend so hopefully it will stay for two weeks, until Liseberg opens). BTW, how many from here are going on the opening day? Any interested in an unofficial TPR meet up?
lond Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 BTW, how many from here are going on the opening day?Any interested in an unofficial TPR meet up? I'm /// Marcus
Zombow Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 BTW, how many from here are going on the opening day?Any interested in an unofficial TPR meet up? Im a new user on TPR, even though I've been following this thread ever since the announcement of Helix. I will be present at the opening day, would be cool to meet up, since Helix is best enjoyed with TPR members!
_koppen Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 Yeah, that would be the only place we would ever see one here in Sweden as it stands at the moment, but I would say that it would be highly unlikely, since it's owned by the same people as Kolmården, unless they did some kind of 2 coaster deal. I was thinking more along the lines that they love the new ride, and happily buys another one for Skara. A clone of Goliath would do fine, I'm not to picky with the layout BTW, how many from here are going on the opening day?Any interested in an unofficial TPR meet up? Not sure yet, but I hope to do so, would love to meet up!
BrunoH Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 BTW, how many from here are going on the opening day? Any interested in an unofficial TPR meet up? Well I am lucky to be joining close friends (who work at Liseberg) the 23:rd! Cant wait!
Loefet Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) Nice to see some interested people ^ Cool, I'm on the other hand is booked for the press day on the 23rd which most likely will be before you then, so I'll get plenty of rides in before the opening day It will be epic to spend some time at Liseberg with around 100 other people, just riding Helix Edited April 17, 2014 by Loefet
Loefet Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 BTW: Mesh going in!! Also, the landscaping have reached the station area, especially now when they are clearing away the massive load of stuff that have occupied the area around the station.
vekoma_fan Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 from the webcam earlier today, can't wait to ride in May!

Loefet Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 Blog update - The power behind Helix Today Lisa posted another behind the scenes post, concentrating on the power delivery system to the launch areas. Source: http://projekthelix.se/kraften-bakom-helix/ ALSO, the POV is scheduled to be released on Thursday So mark your calenders!! This is where the power that is generated when the trains hits LSM units at speed is burned of. This is where all the commands from the main computer at the stations arrive down in the power regulation shed. The green box with the red and green optical fibre is where all this communication is done over. One of the power regulation cabinets, which in turn feeds the LSM units out on the launch. This is the supervisor in the system that shuts down everything if any alarms are tripped by any part of the system. Between the main transformer and the two power regulation cabinets is this cabinet. It's the one that sends power to the correct power regulation cabinet depending on which launch is going to be utilized depending on the where there is a train. This is the main PLC computer up at the station.
_koppen Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 It's so nice to have you on here Loefet, I have been so busy these past months, and to come on here and always have you sum up what have happened recently is just gold!
DJeXeL Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 I'm geeked out to the max. Thank you for sharing this.
Loefet Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 ^^ Thanks alot!! ^ Lisa excused herself for posting these images since most other people just want eye candy of the ride itself. This is just Geek heaven though
DJeXeL Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 ^Let her know we appreciate it! Some coaster enthusiasts could give a d@mn about how a ride operates as long as it works and they enjoy themselves. I enjoy that plus also want to know how the ride works.
