The technology was at least in part developed by Disney as a method for launching their rollercoasters. Think Aerosmith Rockin’ Rollercoaster or California Screamin’.

For a time, Disney World in Orlando had a small linear magnetic people mover that provided an elevated ride around Tomorrowland. Looking back, some of the engineering must have been figuring out how to provide a smooth ride for passenger cars that had widely varying loads. In concept, that same kind of problem must have bedeviled the EMALS system.
