No, Buddhist's will not go to hell. Buddhist's believe in perpetual rebirth until enlightenment is attained (the cycle of birth, life and rebirth is called Samsara). In each successive life, Buddhist's aim to get closer to enlightenment by following the eightfold path. They are however subject to their accumulated karma, be it good or bad, and that influences how they live.
Attaining enlightenment for Buddhist's means that at the end of their life they have no karma, be it good or bad. It is then that they leave the cycle of Samsara.
The exception to this is a Bodhisattva, who is a Buddhist who attains enlightenment but chooses to be reborn to aid humanity and their attainment of enlightenment. The Dalai Lama is thought to be a Bodhisattva.
So in conclusion, no, Buddhist's will not go to hell, even if only for the reason that they do not believe one exists. (although as a result of a bad life, they can be reborn at a lower level than what they had been in the previous life - but this is still incomparable to the Christian idea of "Hell")

Yes! Without Jesus Christ as their Lord which is the Only Way to the Father, they will go to hell unless they convert. That applies to each and everyone of us.

It depends on whom you ask around here. I believe hell is relative. I do wonder if this life is hell, as do many others.

How can you go to a place that does not exist? There is NO hell to go to.

Yes
Mar 16:9 Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.
Mar 16:10 And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.
Mar 16:11 And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.
Mar 16:12 After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.
Mar 16:13 And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed they them.
Mar 16:14 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.
Mar 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Mar 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

They already live in hell. What they don't understand is why you think you're not living in hell.

No. No one who live moral lives will go to hell.
