100. The amount of energy a roller coaster has is maintained throughout the whole journey. Its the conservation of energy - energy can' t be created or destroyed it can only be transferred. It therefore depends what type of energy you mean in the question. It can have a total of 100 joules meaning yes, anywhere on the roller coaster it will remain as 100 joules however if your saying 100 joules of gravitational potential energy at the top by the bottom of the hill it will have decreased and have been converted into at least 80 joules of kinetic energy leaving 20 joules as gravitational potential energy.

What causes dizziness on a roller coaster?
Inside your inner ear there is a fluid in a small chamber. This fluid is what helps the brain balance. It's how you know when you're leaning to a side, or even upside down. While on a roller coaster the sharp turns and loops makes that liquid slosh around a lot. This sends mixed signals to the brain, and causes in some people a disorienting effect. However when you ride a lot of roller coasters this effect does not occur. That is because the brain has become accustom to the sensation and the signals it is receiving.
