The longest roller coaster in Asia is The Year of the Dragon. It has an 8,133 foot long track and is the longest coaster in the world.
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.
It could be possible... Just a lot of engineering would be involved.
Yes they can
Well, to understand what a roller coaster does you will need to understand what a roller coaster is. A roller coaster is a small vehicle that runs along a fixed track. What a roller coaster does is move along that fixed track at very high speeds, and many people find this very thrilling And if your wondering how a roller coaster works Well, there are 2 types of roller coaster, most commonly the Chain Lift, The chain lift works by hooks on the bottom of the roller coaster car that hook on to a roller chain (the type of chain you would find on a bicycle) and the chain pulls you all the way to the top of the big hill, This is the part where you hear all the clicking. As you start going down the big hill the hooks simply slide out of the chain and gravity starts to take over, but the roller coaster can stay moving because of Kinetic energy and Potential energy. So the 3 things that are very important to a Roller Coaster are Kinetic energy, Potential energy, and gravity. A roller coaster works sort of like rolling a ball down a hill.

It probably is because of the engine the pulls the coaster to the top
A little less than 10%, roller coasters are safe, if you are nervous. They do checks along the track and on the machinery before a park opens every day.
Roller coasters are constantly accelerating and decelerating, therefore they don't have a constant speed. However, their average speed can be calculated by dividing the total distance covered by the roller coaster on the track by the total time it takes to complete one ride on the track.
The Fujiyama roller coaster opened in 1996. It was rated as one of the top 50 steel roller coasters in 2009. It has over a mile of track and is highly rated.
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.
A duel track roller coaster.
The wheels are on top, between and below the tracks.
