coasterdude5 Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 It's a close tie between V2 at SFGAm and Mr. Freeze at SFStl. They both pack a punch! Runner ups would be RNRC at Hollywood Studios and Flight of Fear at KI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelTheFORCE Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Of the ones I have been on, I'd say Wicked Twister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasquatch Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Rita at Alton Towers felt like an elephant sitting on me! Me and my stomach haven't stayed in touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columbia Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 V2 at Discovery Kingdom has some real kick on it's second launch forward, experienced best in the front seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerstlauer1 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 My strongest LIM launch was on Rock'n Roller Coaster at Disneyland Paris. And my strongest launch was on Furius Baco, wich was AWESOME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 ^^I totally agree. Especially when you get used to the height, hangtime and vertical drop (all lovely btw), the launch really begins to stand out. Here's how I rank all the launched coasters I've been on, regardless of type. (This is judging the entire ride, not just the launch.) 1. California Screamin' (9/10) 2. Montezooma's Revenge (7/10) 3. V2: Vertical Velocity (7/10) 4. Superman: The Escape (6/10) 5. Pony Express (2/10) As you can see, the LIM launches make a decent showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcdude Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 For LIM it would be California Screamin'. For any magnetic launch it would be Maverick. For any launch system it would be Xcelerator. For worst launch period it would be Pony Express. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G$ Kurt Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Mr. Freeze has always felt pretty weak to me, but I'm going to be in Vegas in a couple of weeks and I'm excited to see how Speed's launch compares. As for most powerful, if your counting any type of launch then Dragster would have to be the best for me, Magnetic, Maverick takes the cake. Just LIMS though, FoF was kinda intense, so was RnR but its been years since I've ridden them. Impulse coasters probably have the strongest LIM launch for me.

coastercrutchfield Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Mr. Freeze or Speed the Ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHILLERLC1 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I can't tell anymore which ones are the fastest. Riding the hydraulic coasters raised my tolerance of speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-RadG Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 The strongest in my opinion is Volcano or Wicked Twister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Volcano has the most forecful LIM Launch for me. In fact, it is the strongest launch of any kind that I have ever experienced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillerfan Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 there is only ONE coaster for this fourm... Batman and Robin: The Chiller. It beats Kingda Ka anyday. It was beast, but they had to DISMANTLE it because of a few problems!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! calm down calm down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The SETGO Guys Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 So far that I've been on Rock'n'Roller coaster Starring Areosmith. The other Launches I've been on Cheetah Hunt Skyrocket (....I think I'm forgetting one) But RNR Is the only one (Except on Cheetah Hunt if you load in bay 2) that stops before the launch....that seems to make it more forcefull.

harper83087 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Strongest LIM/LSM launch is Volcano with Wicked Twister and Maverick behind it. My favorite launch hands down is TTD, I just love knowing the ins and outs vs everybody else on the train and knowing that when the train rolls back into the catch dog that there's no turning back. Then the Christmas tree counts down to greatness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBparks57 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I would have to agree, Volcano, WT, and Maverick. I love Mavericks launch...especially when everything in the tunnel is working. I did have a question though, something that has been bothering me for awhile now. A few years ago I noticed what looked like LSM's on Rock N' Roller coaster, yet a a catch car comes flying back after launching each train. I always assumed it was hydraulics of some sort, but then noticed the white bars. I originally thought LSM and LIM worked similar. Why utilize the catch car with the LSMs? I thought those eliminate the need for something having to actually attach to the train to launch it. I hope my question is clear enough, thank you!

Schrecken Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I'd have to say Flight of Fear, for that type of launch. It may have to do with it being in an enclosed area (as opposed to the same type of coaster that is outdoors, like Jokers Jinx or those like Wicked Twister), as they seem to have more punch than Volcano to me. Or, it may be that the 2nd launch on Volcano is when the train is moving so that might also diminish the feeling of acceleration for me. For any type of launch I'd say Hypersonic, and then the hydraulically launched coasters after that. IMO flywheel launches (like Montezooma's Revenge) seem to have more punch to them than the LIMs or LSMs do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
