If you think launched will be cool then launched it is. Tonight after work I will start on making a launch mechanism. I will also finish putting in the lateral supports on the last tower. I finished the crest and have the chain on. This is one huge crest. Here it is:

Here is an update for you guys. I got a nice launch going and it has been working every time. I moved the coaster to its new permanent location which is outside. I am also going to be entering this into the model of the year contest so everything is going to have to be close to perfect so tell me if you see anything wrong. The support columns are going to switch colors because I am running out of white snowflake connectors. Later today I will post a test video of the working launch. Here are some pics of the coaster in its new location:
You can see the nice prep area behind the coaster
If you see anything wrong please tell me. This has to be as close to perfect as possible.

the pull out looks a little tight. if this beast(complement) is launched, the pull out should be more gradual. the drop looks a bit steap too. other than that its a beauty.

Also the supports need work. The horizontal brace at crest of the drop is strained too much.

the drop has a nice gradient, but only if you make that pullout much bigger..

^there's something called an edit button, use it.
Pull-out needs to be much bigger. Where that last horosontal support is, is where it should start. But it's smooth none the less.

If it's your backyard, dude it's huge. Like everyone said make the pull-out bigger. I like the look of the launch.

I bet that you can make the first element taller than the launch lol. I think that the drop needs to be less steep with a bigger pullout, just like everyone else... blah blah blah...

The launch stretches very far. It might damage your tubing underneath the chain.
The drop needs some work, and fix that one support bending too far.

The pullout will be extended and fixed soon but right now it is raining so I cant build outside. I did start on a loop and it came out better than I expected it to. This is my first try making an inversion with these type of supports and it can be pretty tricky. Here is a pic of the loop:
And here is a pic of the coaster being stored when not being worked on. My backyard is also pretty big and you can see how big it is from this picture.
