History
In October 2012, Liseberg announced that they would be adding a new attraction for the 2014 season. The park hired Mack Rides to build a multi-launch roller coaster with a terrain layout. It would be codenamed Projekt Helix.[4]
Vertical construction of Helix began in October 2013 when the supports were built on a rocky hill.[5]
Helix opened on 26 April 2014.
