What other kind of B&M should have a Launch?

Oh, if only, if only... In all seriousness though, the only ideal launch for a coaster is an LSM or LIM launch.
I much prefer Hydraulic, most of the LSM or LIM launches I've been on aren't a patch on the Intamin launches. Then there's the Compressed air, which I haven't been on yet, but they seem to be highly rated.

I'd love to see a launched flying coaster. Probably impossible, but still would be cool.
Why would that be imossible? Please elaborate. I'm personsally very intrigued by the idea of a launched flyer! I think the exposed seating position would make the launch feel a lot more intense :)
 
I think it could be possible using an uphill-launch similar to Hulk, where it creeps up and launches towards the top. That way, you use less power on the launch and minimize the time spent experiencing the g-forces in that position.

Just spitballing here. I don't have Physics for another semester so I'm pretty much just talking out of my ass.
