Best Answer

To build potential energy, which is converted to kinetic energy upon descent. The higher up the roller coaster climbs, the more potential energy it builds, thus having more kinetic energy upon descent. Since there are no motors or engines, Roller Coasters are reliant on this back & forth transfer of energy.
