Thunderbird 2

All the Gerry Anderson shows have epic stock launching sequences, In Thunderbirds each Thunderbird (except for 5 for obvious reasons) had its own launching sequence which included the pilot going through some sort of secret passage to get to their craft, For Thunderbird 2 Virgil leans against part of the wall which tilts back putting him onto a slide that eventually deposits him right into the pilot seat. A conveyor belt them poisitons the correct cargo pod underneath the ship which lowers down onto it. Outside part of the cliff face lowers down revealing the hangar and the palm trees fall over allowing Thunderbird 2 to taxi onto the runway which tilts up to give it an angled take off.
