The top of the first hill. This is where the coaster has its greatest amount of potential energy which is converted to kinetic energy as it moves along the track.
When the roller coaster - or any object, for that matter - is at its highest point, it has more potential energy than when it is at a lower point.
It is when the car is at its highest point.

The smallest roller coaster at Cedar Point is Wilderness Run. It is a kiddie roller coaster that is only 19 feet tall and goes 6 mph.
The newest roller coaster for Cedar Point is GateKeeper. It opened in May, 2013.
Firstly, go on the roller-coaster on the first island, and shoot the pigeon that is located at the highest point, WITH A SHOTGUN (
kinetic energy is energy in motion. potential is like a roller coaster you start at the bottom and go up to highest point of the coaster and yougain potential energy as you move to the highest point of the coaster and when you go down the peak point the potential energy the coaster was gaining is transferred to kinetic energy.
GateKeeper is the newest ride at Cedar Point which opened in 2013.
Maverick is a steel roller coaster at Cedar Point. Maverick was built by Intamin and opened in 2007.
The latest roller coaster at Cedar Point is Gatekeeper. Gatekeeper opened in 2013 at Cedar Point. There are no other roller coasters being built or planned as of now.
Potential energy is highest at the dead top of the highest point on the roller coaster. It is lowest at the lowest point. Kinetic energy (motion energy) is highest at the point where the velocity is highest. This depends on the design. A good guess is dead bottom of the longest fall, but on a complex coaster ride there are other possibilities. Also, air resistance and friction can change this.
