LSM Launch Coaster
A flexible launch platform used for multi-launch layouts, twisted elements, swing launches, and compact thrill designs.
The LSM launch model lets designers build repeat launches and precise speed profiles. Modern examples frequently combine low transitions, inversions, airtime hills, and rapid changes of direction.
Maverick at Cedar Point is a standout Intamin LSM launch coaster because it combines a beyond-vertical first drop, quick transitions, low turns, a tunnel launch, and sharp airtime moments in a compact, highly varied layout.
