RCDB says:
"This roller coaster is a bit of a mystery. It appears to have been at the park for some time, but whether or no it ever operated is not known. It is off to the side of the park in a abandoned area. It is possible this area of the park was shutdown.
The ride itself is clearly a launched roller coaster, but what sort of launch system it uses is not known."

what is the link for it?
and the launch looks like a piston hitting the back of the car sending riders at 70mph with 10accelerationt Gs, broken necks

No, you can see mechanics of some sort under the car. Its probably an LSM or comparable coaster. That piston on the back is to keep the train from flying off the track and to provide a bit of a coushin if the brakes don't work. Its better to stop in a 4' gap than a 0' gap.

That's actually a spiral lift, no intense lats there :). As for the mystery coaster, I have never seen nor heard of it up to now.
