Electrical power is typically used to get the train up to the top of the lift hill. After it reaches the top, gravity takes over.

Roller Coasters utilize Diesel only in the event of a power loss. Most modern day coasters use electrical power to compress air to power the brakes and emergency mechanisms.

How are hydraulics used in a roller coaster?

For the medium capacity roller coasters, electro-magnetic launchers are used to launch roller coaster trains. Such a launch draws high peak powers up to 2 MW. For larger capacity roller coaster, with larger and heavier trains, an electro-magnetic launcher would draw too much power. For these high apacity coaster, Bosch Rexroth developed a hydraulic launch system which is capable of accumulating required power in between the launches. This allows for heavy (high capacity) train launches within the limitations of the power net.
