I'll post the answers to a few questions from NLE:
Maximum height is going to be based on max elevation minus min elevation, otherwise the height restriction really wouldn't matter due to terrain.
There must be at least two launches, however more are allowed. A launch out of the station like cheetah hunt for example, would be perfectly acceptable.

^ I always love to see someone working on Intamin Megalite or Mack Launch to make that into a more thrilling edition, so let me comment. Hope that you'll get a pretty good position in the next round.

Honestly it looks like slots to add more magnets in case they needed more, kind of like how some of the Intamins have those wing things on the side of the track to attach trim brakes that never got attached.
For anyone confused about the Cheetah Hunt brakes, I just found this video which shows them off perfectly. They work pretty much the same way as on an accelerator coaster...retract just before the train reaches the launch and then engage once the train has completely cleared the area in case of a rollback.

It hasn't come up here, but it occurred to Blase and I that we weren't quite clear on one aspect of the rules:
Built-in tunnels (those that come with the game) do not count as terrain interaction. The only tunnels that will count as terrain features will be custom tunnels made to look natural (such as a rock tunnel or cave).
If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them.

When you say "must have two launches" and "must have 3 inversions" do you mean it must have at least two launches and at least 3 inversions or is it strictly set at 3?
