The top of the first hill. This is where the coaster has its greatest amount of potential energy which is converted to kinetic energy as it moves along the track.
The part of a roller coaster that reaches the highest speed is typically the point where the coaster is at its lowest point, known as the bottom of a drop.
When the roller coaster - or any object, for that matter - is at its highest point, it has more potential energy than when it is at a lower point.
It is when the car is at its highest point.

On a pendulum, the greatest potential energy is at the highest point of the swing on either side, and the greatest kinetic energy is at the bottom of the swing. On a roller coaster, the greatest potential energy is at the top of a hill, and the greatest kinetic energy is at the bottom of the hill.
The smallest roller coaster at Cedar Point is Wilderness Run. It is a kiddie roller coaster that is only 19 feet tall and goes 6 mph.
The newest roller coaster for Cedar Point is GateKeeper. It opened in May, 2013.
Firstly, go on the roller-coaster on the first island, and shoot the pigeon that is located at the highest point, WITH A SHOTGUN (
GateKeeper is the newest ride at Cedar Point which opened in 2013.
Maverick is a steel roller coaster at Cedar Point. Maverick was built by Intamin and opened in 2007.
The latest roller coaster at Cedar Point is Gatekeeper. Gatekeeper opened in 2013 at Cedar Point. There are no other roller coasters being built or planned as of now.
Potential energy is highest at the dead top of the highest point on the roller coaster. It is lowest at the lowest point. Kinetic energy (motion energy) is highest at the point where the velocity is highest. This depends on the design. A good guess is dead bottom of the longest fall, but on a complex coaster ride there are other possibilities. Also, air resistance and friction can change this.
