Video Construction Tour of Liseberg’s Helix

Construction is rapidly progressing on Liseberg’s new Mack launched coaster, Helix.

When completed, the coaster’s track will stretch just over 4,530 feet in length and will stand 134-feet tall. Riders will reach a top speed of 62.1 mph, thanks to two Linear Synchronous Motors (LSM) launches.

The park recently released a Quadrocopter-filmed video of the construction site. Watch it below:

Helix is expected to open on April 26, 2014. Learn more about the coaster here. While you wait, take a virtual ride on the coaster.
