Helix

Ten years after Helix opened, part of the ride experience became available far beyond Liseberg. The park released the launch coaster's futuristic soundtrack on streaming platforms including Spotify and Apple Music. Fans could now listen to 74 minutes of Helix music without being in Gothenburg.

Looopings reported that the album consists of fifteen instrumental dance tracks. Titles such as Instant Go, Invert, Re-Invented and Escape Gravity match the attraction's high-energy, technological identity. The music was produced by IMAscore, the German company known in the theme park world for distinctive attraction soundtracks.

For visitors and fans, the release is more than a playlist. Music helps fix a ride in memory, especially on a coaster like Helix where presentation, lighting and pace are part of the complete experience. By putting the soundtrack online, Liseberg extended the atmosphere of the ride beyond the queue and station. It gave fans a simple way to return to Helix even when they were far from the park.

In 2023, Helix became the technical centrepiece of a Theme Park Science video. Presenter Danny van der Weel travelled to Liseberg to explain how large coaster trains are brought safely to a stop. Helix was a fitting example: the fast Mack Rides coaster combines high speed with modern braking and control systems.

Looopings described a video that went further than a simple behind-the-scenes tour. Van der Weel joined the morning startup of the attraction, learned about the difference between mechanical and magnetic brakes, and watched technicians check restraints and wheels during daily inspections. The article also highlighted that Helix uses magnetic brakes, with large magnets working along the length of the train.

For fans, this story adds depth to the ride. Helix is usually discussed for its launches, inversions and pace, but the video showed the invisible engineering that makes those thrills repeatable. Every ride depends on inspections, physics and safety systems working together before visitors ever board the train.

Five years after Helix opened, Liseberg gave the coaster a fresh moment in the spotlight. The park had the launch coaster filmed by a professional drone following the train along the track. Looopings described footage that made the speed, length and flow of the 41-metre Mack Rides coaster visible in a particularly direct way.

The video followed an earlier drone film of Valkyria, but Helix clearly received its own showcase. The ride was once again presented as one of Mack's most intense coasters, with seven inversions, two launches and a top speed of 100 km/h. Michael Mack responded enthusiastically to the footage and underlined his pride in the attraction.

For visitors and fans, the story matters because drone footage explains a coaster differently from a standard onride video. It reveals how the train, track and terrain work together. For Helix, that reinforced its established identity: fast, technical and tightly woven into the hillside setting of Liseberg.
