Helix made me an enthusiast and it will probably never cease being my favorite roller coaster in the world (not the best but my favorite). Therefore I will always be biased when talking about the roller coaster but I truly belief that is one the greatest roller coasters in the world. One of the most balanced layouts out there, two amazing ejector hills, all sorts of airtime, crushing positives at certain spots and great transitions. Then there are the launches which should rather be called boosts. It is legitimate complaining about their weakness but then you wouldn't complain about a lifthill in a similar way. Of course, those often make for a great view but with Helix, this doesn't matter because it's location is truly incredible. They carved Helix into the "Liseberg", made it cross dozens of attractions and while that alone would be a huge task for a short roller coaster, Helix has a total track length of 1.381 meters. This makes for aprox. 1:20 seconds of prime ride time. I could go on talking about Helix's lack of theming and why that is actually an amazing thing but I ususally don't write reviews this long. Anyway, just come to Göteborg and ride this beauty if you haven't already.

Definitively suited for the whole family but going with a renowned wooden coaster manufacturer would have made Mammut a roller coaster that you're truly looking forward to ride.
