Pastel - Get loop-launched!

Hi there!

Here's an old track of mine (2008) called Pastel.



As you can see on the pic, this ride features an unique launch system, wich is why I wanted to share it with you. Otherwise the layout and the shaping are not amazing, but fine enough I hope.

This system was introduced by RideTek, a strange coaster company who only achieve to built one coaster yet, the Inverted Cobra at Friheden, Denmark. Take a look at their website : http://www.ridetek.it/en/index.htm

How it works:

Basically, the wagon reaches the round track section, then the big hammer-thingy comes behind it. Then, the hammer starts to loop, thank to a motor and a counterweight.
The hammer stop pushing the train when the support structure ends. The wagon is now away, and the hammer can reload by completing its looping. It only spin one way, so another wagon can get ready quickly.

Please note that in the sim the first train is launched too quickly. It only avoid others cars to stay too long here, because they already have to wait the other car to reach MCBR section.
