So I'm guessing we'll be having another Super Grouper to Sweden next year then?

Huh, I thought this was a MACK? The track looks... Different?

That's normal Mack launch track. Both Blue Fire and Manta (SD) have this kind of track for the launch.
 
Re: Liseberg | "Project Helix" | Mack Megacoaster

If this ride is going to have tbis type of entrance, then I hope to god that they use electronics and make the matrix all scrolling and whatnot.

Cause if so, <3 and want on such a huge scale.
 
Re: Liseberg | "Project Helix" | Mack Megacoaster

^Like Intricks, if this is all animated effects that is going to look awesome. Although apart from the cool Matrix text it does look quite plain, I suppose that'd be the idea if it's (judging from the name and look) meant to be some sort of genetics lab?
 
Re: Liseberg | "Project Helix" | Mack Megacoaster

I like the look of this ride altogether. Very fun appearance, and the queue line looks very different and interesting to me. It reminds me of one of those strange art galleries you go to. However, I don't really like the Matrix style logo.
 
Re: Liseberg | "Project Helix" | Mack Megacoaster

I could very well be wrong here, but my theory is that they aren't really going for any theme like that.
It looks to me that they want it to be "themed" to a roller coaster, if you get me?
Like Lisebergbanan, which doesn't have any theme either really.
They also keep mentioning in the presentation video that they want another "classic" like Lisebergbanan.
So basically they're keeping it simple and minimalistic.

Lisebergbanan is themed to an old train station.
 
Re: Liseberg | "Project Helix" | Mack Megacoaster

^ Of course, but it ends there right?
Like Kanonen's sound effects, it isn't a immersive theme.

But that's just what I think.
 
Re: Liseberg | "Project Helix" | Mack Megacoaster

Does anybody else think that looks like something out of Goldeneye? I love the look. It's very simple and clean but it gives the ride a stand alone image and will certainly add to the overall experience of the ride.
 
Re: Liseberg | "Project Helix" | Mack Megacoaster

It has got a very secrete mission base feel to it. I like it! Reminds me of a more mordern Oblivion queue.
 
Re: Liseberg | "Project Helix" | Mack Megacoaster

I wouldn't go so far as to say Secret Base, but this does give a feel of a Government Science Lab.
 
Re: Liseberg | "Project Helix" | Mack Megacoaster

Yeah, Oblivion is far more immersive, but subtle.

This is more Six Flags in my opinion.
 
Re: Liseberg | "Project Helix" | Mack Megacoaster

This coaster really needs more attention. It is like Blue Fire but longer with extra inversions and launches.

It's getting plenty of attention from me :)
