If you can do this, add some diagonals! Make it realistic!

The tower overview
A cute little top
If you noticed the extra rod near the top, that is where some gears will go. I will be using a chail lift with some sort of connector snapped on to serve as a hook for the car. When the chain nears the top, the hook slides away and the car falls. Obviously. If anybody has any ideas of how to slow the car down a little as it falls to prevent rider annihilation, please comment!!!

Also, I wouldn't use a chain lift--it'd look too big and bulky, and possibly noisy.
Also (#2), the tower looks a little wide for its height; Id either make it taller or skinnier
looking at a couple of these might help:

^^I raised it a yellow rod and I think the height/width ratio is good now. I can raise it another yellow though if need be.
^Good idea, I could probably find a way to do that with a motor.
And now, an UPDATE!! I made the tower and base sturdier by beefing them up a bit and added the holders for the cord. The tower is also a yellow rod taller: Pics....
I'll be working on finding the right frame size for the car if the tower is fine as it is. COMMENT!!!!

^Do the Pirate ship park benches have connectors on the back?? I was wondering how to connect them. Anyway, this will be postponed until after x-mas-Christmas coaster under construction-but I will resume work when finished. Thanks for commenting!!
