Catapult launch
The coaster train is launched to give it power instead of using a lift hill and gravity. The catapult system connects with the train and accelerates the train using a flywheel or weight drop. More recently compressed-air (Thrust Air), Linear Synchronous Motors (LSM's) and Linear Induction Motors (LIM's) are being used as well to launch a train.
