By April, 2022, I'd devised a number of quite-good roller coasters but I'd begun to run out of design ideas. I seized-upon the weird notion of creating "Signature Coasters": tracks that would be focused on featuring track elements 'signature' to a specific 'coaster-type' or, otherwise, emphasize any unique features; !Invertilooper ('Inclined Dive Loop' off the lift hill), !Biga Giga (perfectly-timed Cable Lift) and !TwistyLoops ("Kitchen-Sink" Twister using the Launched Lift Hill) are examples I've already shared; !Totally Loopy shows off Banked Inclined Turns, as well as a profligacy of Vertical Loops, but I'd made it several months before I'd ever even thought of any "Signature Coasters".

Enter !eLIMinator, first of the "Signature Coasters": Lim-Launched, Block-Sectioned Continuous Circuit. I also desired the first element to be novel and interesting, what I've called, a "Snake-Charmer": asymmetrical entrance/exit for what is, otherwise, a "Cobra Roll"; I've got opposing "Snake-Charmers" on !Drachen Twister (but I made that nearly a month later).

I encountered a wee problem with !eLIMinator: LIM coasters cannot deploy the Large Half Loop ... um, well, gee, there's a 'whoops'; it is possible to emulate the Z-axis geometry (the Brachistochrone Curve and inversion) of the Large Half Loop with track elements that *are* available to the LIM coaster.

So, !eLIMinator *does* sport a "Snake-Charmer"!

This coaster worked out really well: no Chain Lift or Track Boosters demands that every joule of energy from the initial launch needs to be conserved; so, no Trim Brakes, please; also, even if the Block Section ahead is open, the Block Brake itself will still 'trim' a moving train. I'm also disgustingly-self-satisfied-pleased with the operational timing between Blocks.

One will see that Intensity is "red": LIM trains impose inflated Intensity which, thankfully, does not ruin the Excitement Rating; any Park that keeps its Guests happy will have no trouble filling !eLIMinator.

Ratings may be reviewed in the Screenshots (and in the video).
