Incredible Hulk
Hulk does not use a conventional chain lift like most coasters.  Several hundred tires, powered by electric motors, grip the train by the brake skids to lift it up this hill.  Once close to the top, the tires accelerate the train very quickly to launch the cars out of this tunnel.  There is about 1-G of acceleration during the launch.
