Launched coasters

Motors or hydraulics replace or supplement the lift hill for rapid acceleration.

Flywheel launches

Store energy in a spinning mass, then dump it into the train in one burst — classic hydraulic acceleration feel.

How launches work

LIM, LSM, hydraulic — different ways to shove a train from rest to serious speed.

Hydraulic and pneumatic launches

Catch cars, cables, and pressure vessels — mechanical launches with a signature kick.
