Thank you very much for your great feedback.Fantastic job on this - well done!
I love the randomness of the concept and I think you've managed to execute it beautifully as well - that instant launch really does exactly what it says on the tin (and it's powerful too)!
You're definitely improving with every model you make and this is no exception. The pacing, shaping and strength of the coaster is excellent.
What I admire most is your dedication to the build in a time where there are very few members, especially micro builders,around to critique it. Keep it going!

Great job... that launch seems to work pretty good! How reliable is it? I'vs only seen a few coasters with this design (first a normal coaster that then goes into a launch) so I like the creativity! Keep it up!
How do you build a coaster?

The reliability isn't that great! While the release mechanism works the most times, the chain is the big problem. It snaps about 1 out of 5 times, mostly when you pull it up, or during the launch, where the strongest force is pulling on it. If you watch closely, you can see that the chain snaped during one of the launches, so you can see the chain laying on the floor just after the launch. But the most important is that it's powerful and still works quite well.
