Answer:

"At the top of the first and tallest hill, your potential energy is at its highest it will ever be on this ride. As you begin to descend, your potential energy decreases until it's all gone at the bottom of the hill." The shorter the hill the roller coaster climbs, the greater its kinetic energy.
