What Is The SLOWEST Launching Coaster?

What Is The SLOWEST Launching Coaster you can think of or you know of

Define launched? There are some kiddie coasters that could be considered launched that only go about 10 mph. However, if you mean LIM/LSM/Hydraulic launches, Kanonen would probably be up there.

Launched would be like kingda ka launch not going down a hill to reach that speed, or a REAL launch coaster

this is sort of the opposite of this topic but i would also suggest we name the fastest launching coaster (i mean like G's - the highest amount)

He means acceleration Gs, not vertical Gs. And for acceleration Gs, I think the winner would be Dodonpa which goes from 0-106.9 mph in 1.8 seconds.

^ you are right

I would say Superman The Escape! the first blast from the station is cool but after that, it just feels like you driving at high speed in a convertable =[ 0-100 aparently in 7 seconds

I would agree with Superman The Escape as we now have many coasters that go much faster in much less time.

Hypersonic XLC was also a quite fast acceleration.

can we get back on topic??

Yeah Hypersonic was more than 80mph in less than 1.5 seconds. But the slowest is probably the italian job turbo coasters. The slowest and fastest launched coasters all in one park!

Space Mountain in Paris is pretty slow, the launch start like halfway up the first hill, and you only get a gentle nod over the top.

it's been quite a while since i rode it but i remember California Screamin' (CA Adv) was pretty weak

CA Screamin is 55 mph kinda weak and the slowest I can think of is The pony express at knotts at 38mph

Revenge of The Mummy

Which one?

The Universal Studios one[lol]

to be honest for the ride itself i think that the first launches on the ROTM coasters are pretty good! Now i know this is gona be controversial but i do prefer the Hollywood counterpart as i have ridden both, the flat launch with imotep at the top and the mummy/soldiers droping down with some fire realy added to the sense of speed which i loved! the Inclined launch is good dont get me wrong but i think the launch is perfect on ROTM at USH
