Alright, let me attempt to clear something up. A triple launch, which is also referred to as a swing launch, is a ride attribute where the trains are propelled to speed in three phases: forward, reverse, and forward again. There are many reasons why manufacturers are employing this attribute to their launch systems. The backwards phase adds a bit of excitement to the launch. A three phase swing launch requires less track and hardware to achieve a top speed, which ultimately saves space and material cost. Finally, if done right, the attribute spreads its power draw across a longer period of time, which means that the electrical grid is not subject to such a jarring load from a standard single phase launch.
Cheetah Hunt is NOT a triple launch - it's a blitz coaster that happens to have three separate launches. West Coast Racers is not a quadruple launch or whatever silly thing people are calling it - it's a launched Mobius coaster that happens to have four separate launches. Same applies to Maverick, Copperhead Strike, Helix, and Icon, except with two launches.
True triple launch coasters are these Sky Rocket II models and rides like Soaring with Dragon, Dual Dragon, Capital Bullet Train, and Star Trek - all utilize one single launch track with some sort of reverse spike or element which the train utilizes to achieve three passes over the propulsion hardware.
