Sorry if this has already been answered.....

As I understand it a traditional rollercoaster obtains the energy it needs to go round the ride from the initial drop.

Therefore is a rollercoaster that has its maximum number of riders  faster / slower or alter the experience due to it being heavy?

I'm new to this and although interested in Science never really paid much attention.

I'm sure the answer to my question will be connected to the rule you learn at school about the rate of falling being the same regardless of mass (or something like that!!) I obviously never really understood it so would like someone to answer me this question relating to something i like (rollercoasters) so I can learn something new today!

Thanks in advance!
