No it does not. And you can have multiple lift hills should you choose.

I have a question. If your building an invert, can the lift supports be 9 cubes tall, as the track would only be eight cubes tall, so the track would fit the height requirement? please?

The height is based on the height of the car, so an invert gets away with a little height since it is not usable height.

This is not where you enter. A thread will be placed in the same place as Top Model entries once the poll for that begins.

Quick question: If I were to have a lift similar to Incredible Hulk's, where it has a launch sort of thing at the top, would I still be able to have a mid-course launch?

Oh. well, would I have to just gear the lift faster, or could I use a trigger thingy to accelerate it with a tiny launch?
