There are many functions of roller coasters such as the chain lift‚ catapult-launch lift etc. The first component is the chain lift the chain lift is a series of connected carts that move on tracks. The train has no engine nor power source the power is gravity and momentum. To build up this momentum(potential energy) the train needs to get to the top of the hill. The lifting mechanism is a long length of chain that runs up the hill under the track. The chain is a fasten loop and the chain on the
