This video/footage was created and owned solely by © 2008 Cedar Fair Entertainment Company. Gemini On your mark ... get set ... GO! The Gemini roller coaster at Cedar Point gives riders an opportunity for bragging rights to the fastest train, as not one, but two trains run simultaneously on parallel tracks and race for a first-place finish. Guests cheer on either the red or blue train down the mammoth first hill, around wide bends and down the famous "low beam" hill that you must experience to believe. Even those who have ridden Gemini 100 times in one day say that no two rides are ever the same. Gemini has given more rides than any other operating roller coaster at Cedar Point. Since 1978, the twin tracks have taken more than 80 million guests on the ride of their lifetime. In 2005, Gemini gave 1,717,112 rides. Guests must be at least 48 inches tall to experience the thrills of the Gemini. Auteur: Fortlansing Tags: 1978 cedar coaster fun gemini point roller sandusky Ajoutée: mercredi 05 juin 1935 14:36:31
