OpenRCT2 v0.4.16 “Brave Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-As-Sir-Lancelot” released!

We’re back! This time, we have many exciting changes to roller coasters. We added the LSM Launched Coaster, and added new pieces to many existing ones. A big thanks to @X7 for creating the LSM train, and to @mixiate for the new track pieces! Also thanks to Intamin for allowing us to merge a train that very closely resembles theirs.

And to ensure you can actually fully enjoy all of this, we fixed a bunch of crashes, including a particularly gnarly one that occurred when loading a new game.

A list of the changes:

• Feature: [#20810] New ride type: LSM Launched Roller Coaster.
• Improved: [#22937] Add banked sloped turns and many other pieces to the Corkscrew, Hypercoaster and Lay-down Roller Coaster.
