carbon is an element, so "carbon" can't exist of anything.

But the carbon found in fossil fuels are mostly from shells and dead animals or plants, after being exposed to imense heat and presure by stacking layers of sediment, plants and shells

How can roller coasters use fossil fuels?

Most, if not all, roller coasters are powered by electricity. Most electricity is still being generated by burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). As this burning emits carbon dioxide you can clearly say that roller coasters are contributing to global warming by using fossil fuels.
