The Helix track is almost 1.4 km (4500 feet) long and the ride lasts for two minutes. Along the track are two launches where the coaster accelerates using Linear Synchronous Motors. The ride includes seven inversions, three airtime hills and plenty of drops, twists and turns. Look round and see how fellow riders are doing!
