A roller coaster works by having an engine that makes it go up the hill. When it goes down the hill (slope) the engine turns off and gravity brings it down. The momentum from the drop takes it around the entire roller coaster, which can be filled with spirals and possibly more slopes.The fastest roller coaster can travel up to 150mph. The average roller coaster can go up to 128 mph. which means that the fastest roller coaster probably has a higher drop. The highest roller coaster in the world is
