Answer:

Gravitational potential energy is greatest at the highest point of a roller coaster and least at the lowest point.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the roller coaster starts flying down the hill, it gains kinetic energy and loses potential energy. At the bottom of the lift hill, the train's kinetic energy is at the highest point it'll be on the track, enough to push it through the succession of smaller hills and turns.
