I am also a learner, so I know how confusing grammar can be.
My teachers taught me to put questions into "regular" order before analyzing a question.
So we get: She ____ not ride the roller coaster why?
A.S. has just told you which word we use after "she" in the present tense.
Next, we contract "does" + "not."
Then we return the sentence to question
