Here's the money shot, dropping into a foggy tunnel.
After a stint of a few years with a Bizarro theme the ride was repainted and renamed back to its original form as Superman the Ride.

AeroSpin rises up the tower whilst rotating, with guests sitting in individual winged seats. By tilting the wings and catching the airflow, they can become a human propeller and perform non stop barrel rolls. If you sit still and leave the wings flat, it just becomes a nice scenic ride.
The layout is basically a repeating stacked figure 8, with alternating turns and hills taken at a consistent pace.
Balder is one ride in particular well known by coaster enthusiasts. It is an Intamin wooden coaster known for multiple moments of strong airtime, and was even rated #1 wooden coaster in the world twice.
The ride concludes by cruising uphill through some S turns, before finally twisting through a (somewhat difficult to photograph) barrel roll.
The last (And biggest) airtime hill before the final barrel roll.
The thrilling AtmosFear drop ride can be seen on the left.
...And then it's onto the 2nd launch, into an inverted top hat.
From the zero g roll is a twisty bit which includes a helix...
Following the Norwegian Loop is a small sharp airtime hill in front of Uppswinget, then a zero g roll.
The third and forth inversions are in this pretzel looking "Norwegian Loop", an element which was in fact first used just 240km away on Speed Monster at Tusenfryd.
You can just see the airtime the back row would be getting as they are flung over the hill, compounded by the elevated seating design where your don't touch the floor.
Following the first launch is another corkscrew that sweeps smoothly into the turn and a small twisting hill.
A turn after the corkscrew leads you into a rolling LSM launch.

The first inversion is a corkscrew, taken straight after a drop out of the station.
Considered by many to be the best creation by Mack Rides upon its opening in 2014, Helix contains two launches and multiple inversions and airtime hills in a hillside hugging layout.
The first drop.
A feature bridge passes through the heart of the ride, giving a great view of the Zero G Roll and corkscrew.
The final helix.
