Gemini

Roller coaster
Minimum height to ride: 48 inches

About Gemini

Dual "racing" coasters on twin figure-8 tracks. Built in 1978 by Arrow, this is actually a steel track on a wood structure. With a 125 foot first hill and a top speed of about 60 mph, the Gemini is one of the parks most ridden attractions. The first drop is deceptively steep and fast, and being able to slap hands with the people in the other car is a popular pastime on this ride.

It was used to be the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the world. Right now, the coaster remains a popular ride amongst family. Gemini is arguably the park's best 'smaller' coaster due to its smoothness yet still able to delivers the thrill that its passengers are seeking for. Oh and for information, airtime is the highlight of this coaster as well so be careful if you don't like airtime. Now sit back and enjoy the race! - Adriel Tjokrosaputro

Great ride for its age. The line moves pretty fast as stated. Don't have your arms and hands up, for there is a part where they WILL HIT if they are up. - Michael Berger

I can't rate it at all because it was closed every time we went to go ride it. Thrill factor for me: Who knows????? - Carrie Wehlage

Gemini is a really fun roller coaster. I love that fact that you race another train for the win. The line moves fast and there is always a thrill on the ride. - Josh Wadkins
