Now we've seen the cars, what do we think about the launch system changing. I don't think it will now.
This picture shows the metal beam down the middle of the train,
Just like the old one here which is used for both the tyre launch and brakes.
As you can see on the Thunderbird train though, the blue beam is for the brakes, and the silver M like bit in the middle goes around the magnets of the LIM. With Hulk not having anything that would go around a LIM, I think we're keeping the tyre launch!
