- Helix is a Mack multi-launch coaster at Liseberg in Sweden. This amazing coaster carves its way along the hillside, treating riders to two launches, seven inversions, and several airtime moments. This is one of the best layouts in the world between the setting and diverse elements! Does all this make it the best coaster in Sweden? Find out in this review!

One of the best parts of Helix, besides the stunning setting, is how well balanced the layout is. It feels like there's a somewhat equal amount of intense positive forces, airtime moments, whip moments and hangtime moments all without going too overboard or lacking. It's such a varied ride
Variety is the spice of life.
I agree!
Two outstanding parts i still think about after 4 years since i last rode Helix:
The composition of the zero g Roll into the turn through the tunnel into the second launch. This is so much fun.
I love helix for its fun layput and reridability. Not the most intense coaster but its just so much fun. From beginning to end.
Mack Produkt :D
Second: when helix is warmed up in the front you'll get a decent whip after the second launch into the inverted tophat and the airtimehill afterwards has such an insane view of Liseberg. Stunning.
It's such a strong coaster.
This is a bucket list coaster for me. I love the use of terrain.
It's epic.
That one camelback is the whole reason I’d go outta my way to ride this! My favorite element of all time is El Toros camelback and I’m willing to travel the world to find an element with that sustained power
It's incredible.
I was blown away by this thing. I didn’t expect that much from it because Blue Fire is not very intense. This thing is incredible. If it had forceful launches it’d probably be the #1 coaster in the world for me. As it is, it’s still my #1 but I do think some American coasters can dethrone it.
The setting and elements are wonderful.
Absolutely wicked looking ride. Great coaster and it looks real fun too.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It was!
Im so proud that this coaster is located in my homepark.. An amazing coaster for sure, i still love it as much as i did back in 2014
Nice!
Helix was my first coaster to go upside down and it was insane the last airtime hill made me love airtime m. Overall amazing ride
Impressive first inverting coaster.
Helix looks awesome, so picturesque
Sure is!
That soundtrack tho… WE MAKIN IT OUT THE STATION WITH THIS ONE 🥶🥶😎🤯😵😵💀💀
Love it!
Always amazes me how many enthusiasts talk down helix due to the launches.. when everything else about the ride is almost perfect.. the soundtrack, the pacing , the view ,the air time, and the trains are all fantastic.. this is a great video. Great content..
I mean, it's a launch coaster, so it should have some oomph to it. As for shitting on Helix, I can assure not all of us enthusiasts are crapping on it.
I could not agree more: Helix has THE perfect launches for the ride to do what it has to do: a superb, stunning, relentless and masterfully paced ride using Liseberg gorgeous terrain and landscaping. Helix was never conceived as a launch tour the force and frankly no need for it. For that you have the bombastic Intamin rides sitting in flat terrain with tacky theming. Helix plays in a completely different league and rides in a completely different style. Its superb.
@@corkscrewfoley The launches are there to give energy to the ride. Not to give you oomph.
Liseberg had previously Kanonen were the launch was the selling point.
It's such a well rounded ride.
The Back row at the end of the day gets so intense at places especially after the big airtime hill.
I never noticed any other ride increase in intensity throughout the day as much as helix.
I enjoyed my rides at all times of day.
It was a miss opportunity to use the sound track on the ride that would be so cool only they had onboard speakers on the train :(
That would have been sick.
Liseberry?? 😂
That is how the park said it is pronounced. The g is silent at the end of words in Swedish.
How does Helix compare to D.C. Rivals, Ride To Happiness and Hyper Coaster at Land of Legends? Great video thanks for posting!
I have not been on Hyper Coaster, but it's on par with DC Rivals for me.
Def a bucketlist coaster tho
Definitely worthy.
I really want more products like this in the U.S. I understand that Intamin has Veloci, Mavvy, and Pante, but i really wanna see more from MACK Rides. Copperhead Strike showcased what MACK are capable of very well. I really hope Starfall Racers delivers, but we don't have anything even slightly similar to Helix.
I'd love to see more Macks too.
This is a 10 for me, and it's in my top 10 also.
I forgive the weak launches completely as they are only designed to just get the exact optimum pacing for the rest of the elements, and perfect pacing they have. I can't knock points off for that. I mean it's better than a lift hill isn't it. This is one of my favourite coasters. Now, if the first element was a launch from standstill rather than the rolling variety Helix has, then I would knock a point off for being so weak, but this coaster has a lot of momentum by the time even the first launch is reached. I am not sure what was expected of it.... if it had this big jolt of power, the rest of the layout would be too fast or need to be trimmed.. Like what Intamin have been doing lately with the likes of Toutatis and Batman Gotham escape where the top hats are trimmed. Toutatis is so bad it is trimmed all the way down, it's as if the coaster goes down the main drop at a controlled pace, therefore I also don't understand how you rate Toutatis higher than Pantheon. I loved Pantheon. But as they say I guess, to each their own!
I like Batman better than this, but I'd take Helix over Toutatis.
So Picturesque
Sure is.
Visited Liseberg for the first time just over a week ago. Was really looking forward to Helix but left a little disappointed, felt like it needed a kick up the backside lol. Don’t get me wrong, I still loved it but maybe my expectations were too high. Didn’t think it came close to my top three coasters RTH, Toutatis and Untamed. Was surprised to leave the park with Balder being my favourite coaster there. Rode Wildfire the next day and much preferred it to Helix.
I prefer Helix myself, but the visuals are a big factor why.
I thought you preferred Ride to Happiness. Do you like Helix and DC Rivals over Ride to Happiness?
I forgot about Ride to Happiness when I said that. I edited the part out towards the end.
I think it looks good, but that final roll is sort of in the middle of a slow hangtime focused roll and a whippy one, which is sort of odd
I like it.
I have never seen a mack rides launch coaster in person; does anyone know how loud their LSM's are compared to other manufacturers?
Quiet, very quiet!
Quiet.
Not as loud as other manufacturers.
Where is this Liseberry you constantly mention, is this a snack they sell at LiseBERG? Also, this doesnt hold a candle to WIldfire imo
It’s how u pronounce Liseberg lol. Even if it’s a bit butchered I appreciate him putting the effort in.
I heard Gs are silent at the end of Swedish words. Maybe I went a bit hard on the "berry", but that's the closest I could get it as someone who doesn't speak Swedish.
@@CanobieCoaster Uh, not quite. Its more like a "bea-kh", keep it up :)
Wait... when did the ride get seatbelts and why? When I rode it back in 2014 it didn't have them resulting in lightning fast ops...
Per the park, guests requested them to feel safer. They were added around 2018.
@@CanobieCoaster Thanks for clearing that up. Such a shame, as these trains are perfectly engineered to operate without them, and were a breeze to check. I guess complaints/suggestions about it must have been numerous for the park to even consider implementing them.
Would you rather - Helix or Taiga?
I prefer Helix, but I think more enthusiasts will prefer Taiga.
Did you say Liseberry? Is that how you're supposed to do it?
Yes, that is how the park staff said it is pronounced. A g is silent at the end of a word in Swedish apparently.
@@CanobieCoaster Yes I wouldn't pronounce it "Liseberkk" either, something in between this and "berry" might be the way
yea, the "G" is pronounced "J" basically
I honestly wish that ride manufacturers would come up with a restraint system that does NOT come down during the ride. Just make them lock in place.
Some have done that like S&S on Steel Curtain or Gravity Grouo on Thundercoasrer
i have done helix wen it was snowing once
Wow! That sounds awesome.
Imagine if Helix had spinning trains.
That would be awesome.
but you prefer this over the ride to happines, hello from spain :)
I prefer Ride to Happiness still.
How does this get a 9.5/10 and rank as your overall 15th favorite, and lets say flying dinosaur got a 10/10 and is 36th or 38th if I remember correctly.
Part of it comes down to whether the ride has flaws. With this ride, the launches are weak. Flying Dinosaur is about as perfect as a flying cosster can be. I prefer what Helix does which is why it's higher in my personal ranking.
@@CanobieCoaster so you rate them by how good they are for the type of coaster?
@@CanobieCoaster and also like all the elements besides the bad part are overall better.
Top 5 in Europe?
Just barely misses.
Liseberry? 0:00
I've heard that's roughly what the pronunciation is from locals.
10:56 someone needs a bath...
I wouldn't be surprised if they paint it.
The pretzel loop makes me not want to ride this, pretzel loops are my least favorite elements to the point I won’t ride another b&m flyer. The gs are just too much for me
I went on this, The pretzel loop wasnt that intense, mainly the final inversion is the most intense part of the ride
yeah the norwegian/pretzel loop isnt too intense at all on this, you would be fine. rides like dragon khan and nemesis are way way more intense :)
Flyer pretzel loops are far more intense.
@@shuoriyes7771 Yeah, this coaster isnt intense, its just a fun ride experience flying around the hill
@@CanobieCoaster all those positive G's thru your chest is truly an irregular sensation. Much easier when riding in a seated position.
finally someone pronounces Liseberg correctly lmao
Thanks!
LISEBERG NOT LISEBERRY
Locals told me the g at the end has an E sound.
Not enough helixes. Would not recommend
Lol
Best Mack coaster: ride to happiness
I was gonna say it, Canobie forgetting about something 🙈
Whoops, I forgot about that one. I will edit that part out. Thank you for pointing that out, although Helix is darn close.
Oh man, I can't stand the theme song of this ride. Just a bunch of electronic noise.
I love it.
