Not sure why that required two pm's and a quote in here but ok....?

Fab music for a fab looking ride...

That is all that needs be said about it...

Using a phone sometimes isn't the most appropriate method of using this forum.. Thats why.

Stay safe kids, always use a computer.

Yup, Lisa on the blog has repeatedly stated that the first test runs should be on the 7th April if everything goes to plan.

Thanks for the update Jerry, this is getting exciting now!

Looking good, especially considering the last time I checked up on this coaster it was being announced.

 

[DelPiero]

Brilliant, thanks Marcus.

^Tom, I really hope the coaster lives up to your expectations. You've been a **** hair away from cumming in your pants ever since the ride was announced.

I personally don't think it's going to be a world beater. But, what I think it is going to deliver is an extremely fun and enjoyable ride. And honestly, give me a 'fun' coaster over a force filled coaster any day of the week. This is why I have a Gerstlauer Bobsled higher in my top 10 then Nemesis.

 

[Jarrett]

^This. Same reason I have Cheetah Hunt as my #1. And GateKeeper and Wild Eagle up there as well.

It looks like a more forceful, more terrain-y Cheetah Hunt in terms of intention. That pretzel loop looks great, and the shaping on that corkscrew is just wrong, really hope I can work this into the Europe trip I've wanted to take if it's ever reality.

Can't wait for a POV!

 

[Mysterious Sue]

I don't really think you can compare this to Cheetah Hunt just because it's 'terrainy'. Cheetah Hunt (and more recently Juvelen) is more about speed and lateral turns and interesting banking. Both I find rather boring (but that's just my opinion). Helix seems more akin to Nemesis or Black Mamba, where elements and intense forces are primary but well-integrated with the landscape, and for that reason I can't wait to ride this.

 

[DelPiero]

I agree with Sue, if Helix can deliver good G's through the pretzel and helix, as well as a couple of sustained airtime pops then it will be fab.
Darren - if your prediction of queue times is anything to go by, then this will blow rattenmuhle out of the water.

 

[Screaming Coasters]

Oh hello!

Actual people are now riding it along with the dummies, so a POV might not be far away now!

 

[AirtimeFreak]

Yes! Been waiting for so long for this
