Why is the first hill of a roller coaster always the tallest?

Answer 1

the first hill on a roller coaster is the biggest because they need enough speed and momentum to finish the rest of the ride it has to be really precise to because if its to big and steep the car will fall of the track and if its to short it won't finish the ride or not go fast enough to do a loop or go up other hills

Answer 2

There isn't enough energy to make it to the top of the second hill if the initial drop is shorter.

Answer 3

It takes a lot of energy to create that first hill of a roller coaster so to make the second hill even larger it would be difficult.

Answer 4

You should make sure the second hill is lower than the first so all the potential energy is taken away

Answer 5

Because you dont have enough speed to make it past the second loop

Answer 6

To make the speed of the ride thrilling makes it go faster on the drop gets your speed up to do all the loops and stuff
