launch coasters

Launch coasters are thrilling roller coasters that use powerful propulsion systems to accelerate the train rapidly from a standstill, rather than traditional lift hills. These systems often employ hydraulic, magnetic (as in linear synchronous motors or LIM/LSM), or compressed air technologies to achieve high speeds instantly, providing an intense, high-acceleration experience. The rapid launch generates a sense of urgency and excitement, often followed by drops, inversions, or other elements. Launch coasters are designed to deliver a smooth, high-speed ride that combines technological innovation with adrenaline, making them a popular choice for thrill-seekers.
