Gemini
When Cedar Point opened
Gemini in 1978, it was opening the tallest coaster in the world. Not
only was tallest coaster, but also one of the highest capacity roller
coasters in the history of roller coasters, a record, unlike the
height record, that remains to this day. Gemini is a racing coaster,
an attribute that allows it to have double the capacity of a normal
coaster. Like
Cedar Creek Mine Ride, Gemini has a wooden frame and a steel
track. Gemini's trains start out of the station to travel up and down
a 125 ft. hill. The trains plummet over the hill underneath another
part of the coaster, and into one of several turns and medium sized
dips. The coaster even allows for hand slapping on a couple parts of
the layout. The ride culminates in a large helix. Gemini is a favorite
of almost anyone who rides it. The coaster has an almost timeless
quality to it, always giving a great ride for a short wait.
