Is a riders highest point on a swing a potential energy or kinetic energy?

At the highest point it's potential energy, which is then completely converted to kinetic energy as the swing travels through its lowest point at maximum speed. With an ideal swing (no friction) the sum of potential and kinetic energy stays constant (it is 'conserved'). In practice it dies away as the swing slows down, but Conservation of Energy is an important principle in science.

How does a roller coaster demonstrate potential and kinetic energy in action?
there is a lot of potential energy right before a roller coaster decreases in elevation. potential energy is at its highest on a roller coaster when the roller coaster is at its highest point. when it drops down it uses kinetic energy.
When do riders free-fall on a roller coaster?
Well in roller coasters there is potential and kinetic energy. So when the roller coaster is getting pulled up it is using kinetic energy while gaining potential energy. So the potential energy it gained is used while going down and not being pulled.
What is the role of kinetic energy in the roller coaster?
To bring the riders back to the starting point.

Why does Newton's first law of motion relate to roller coasters?
Newton's first law of motion states that an object in motion tends to stay in motion. This is what keeps the roller coaster rolling through the hills and turns after it accelerates down the initial ramp. Also, the riders inside the car will experience changes in accleration and apparent weight. The riders will keep going at the same speed in the same direction unless some other force (the seat) acts on them to change that speed or direction. At the bottom of hills, they try to continue downward, and are pressed into the seat. At the tops, the riders are lifted up in their seats as they try to continue upward even as the seat pulls them down into the next drop. The same thing occurs on turns, where riders are pushed into the side of the seat as the coaster turns. (This is the reason for harnesses, seat belts, and restraining bars.)

How do you calculate velocity of a roller coaster?
A slow rollercoaster doesn't batter the senses or induce fear in it's riders near as much as a fast one. When going up the hill, gaining potential energy, you are going slower and gaining fear (you can see what's about to happen.) When you are going down the hill, gaining kinetic energy, you have an emotional release as you safely reach the next hill and calm down about the ride. At the same time the kinetic and potential energy curves are 180o to each other. When the velocity is high, the potential energy is low. When it's low, potential energy goes up.
What is a paceline?
A paceline is a formation in which riders (especially bicycle racers) travel in a line, one close behind the other, in order to conserve energy and travel faster by riding in the draft of the riders in front.
Why do riders eat and drink small amounts while riding in a stage?
