I built a working roller coaster at one point with 4.5 train tracks and a
4.5V motor.
I used technic (Expert Builder at that time) beams for the supports. The
highest peak was about 2 feet high. After that, it went down, did a U-turn,
then fell into a 360 degree turn and then 180 degrees around in the opposite
direction and back to the start.
It was pretty fun, but I didn't take any pictures! :(
The 4.5V train tracks are much more flexible than 12V or 9V and much more
suited to roller coasters.
I once saw a LEGO-designed roller coaster at a mall LEGO show. It was in a
figure-8 configuration using 12V track. I think it looped around 3
different levels.
