An example of an LSM launched roller coaster is Maverick at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. These launch systems transfer electricity through a motor on the roller coaster's track so that it controls the speed at which it will urge the cars and train either forward or backward on a segment. . The launched roller coaster is a type of that initiates a ride with high amounts of acceleration via one or a series of (LIM), (LSM),, tires, chains, or other mechanisms employing . Hydraulic fluid-launched roller coasters, pioneered by manufacturer, give the riders greater acceleration with improved smoothness over the electromagnetic and catapult launch mechanisms. The acceleration from a. . Australia• ()• ()• ()• () . LIM / LSMLinear induction motor (LIM) and linear synchronous motor (LSM) coasters use propulsion via .
