Geez, did everyone watch Twister last night? :)
Here's what I did while watching:

(4 pictures)
It's the start of a modified HUSS Shot-N-Drop model. Note the extensive use
of 4.5v rails. :)
(The HUSS Shot-N-Drop is a pneumatically driven amusement ride consisting of
a tower, somewhere in the order of 50 m, around which wraps a car with seats
for 24 people. Cables connected to the longstroke pneumatic cylinders wrap
around pullise at the base and top of the tower, allowing controlled
launching/droping of the ride vehicle. This is sort of a cross between that
and Intamin's updated Impulse Coaster (see
http://www.oxford.net/~hendryjr/sue/ for pictures and info).)
