The other major thing is that hydrolic/air presure luanches go MUCH faster at a faster time. You get SHOVED into your seat for 4 seconds of time. It's MUCH more intense than LIM or LSM. That feeling you feel once they kick on is what you feel the whole launch on a hydrolic/air pressure launch.

Jeff said:Wrong. Stick to DDR. ;)
The Schwarzkopf shuttle loopers used a flywheel system. Basically, get a really heavy wheel turning really fast, then engage it to a pulley to snatch the train. It's kind of like putting the wheels of a car on jacks, getting the wheels spinning really fast, then kicking it off the jacks.
Acutally, he wasn't wrong :oP
There are some Schwarzkopf shuttles that use the flywheel system and some which use the weight-drop system:

The reason I was so quick to say that Schwartzkopf shuttles are weight drop is because I've only been on one of them: Greezed Viper Wave, which is indeed a weight drop model.

It depends on what line ruptures, If the pressure line went the train won't make it. But in the unlikely case of the return line giving out, it would probably increace the performance.
