The introduction of the launch to roller coasters revolutionised the game, drastically changing the amusement industry and paving the way for a whole new type of ride design. But what are the different types of launches, how to they all work and where did it all begin?

In this video we explore in details weight drop launches, flywheel launches, drive tyre launches, LIM launches (linear induction motor), LSM launches (linear synchronous motor), air compressed launches (pneumatic launches) and hydraulic launches.
