I hope Gemini lasts a very, very long time. It's one of my favorite rides at Cedar Point. Whenever I go, I can't help but ride this coaster over and over. This steel beauty has some great airtime, and is smooth as silk even after all these years. Definitely a classic ride that's fun for families and thrill seekers alike!
Agreed.
cupcakesandsprinkles my favorite ride there too
cupcakesandsprinkles The gemini is my favorite ride to ride right at the front. If you ride at the back its really boring.
My fav ride
Gatekeeper the one with all the tunnels i love that one.
Nice parking job at 1:20
Oh I see It😂😂
Frank Rizzo hahahaha! I just noticed that! xD
Lmaooo
Frank Rizzo that’s Ohio for you
Lol
1:40 that seagull on the hand rail on the left is as cool as a cucumber!
haha XD he's not even flinching
TheFreekickerzUK omg lmao
I hate when they run only one side. It completely defeats the whole purpose.
When I went they ran both.
Well when they don't even have enough people in line to fill one train then it makes sense
You are supposed to race the other one
When Theme Park Crazy rode Gemini, the trans were "neck and neck" throughout the entire layout.
When it is really early or really late, or when they have less crowds, they only need to run one side. They do often run both sides though.
I really does suck that this gets over looked compared to other roller coasters at the Point, this will always be one of my favorites!
I was 18 when this opened. Im now 56. Even after 38 years. Its still a great ride!!!
I remember when it opened it was the bomb. Geagua Lake's Double Loop too.
Rough ride? You got to be kidding me. I'm in my 60's and find this ride thrilling and fun......rough?.....no way....far worse rides in the Park. Probably one of my favorite coasters.
I usually don't find it rough either,but last year it seemed a little more bumpy than usual.
I hate bumpy coasters but this one isn't bad.
An older thrillseeker. That is pretty cool. Is this your favorite?
The corkcussion ride banged my head so many times I dont even remember half of it.
first time I rode this me and my freinds got the whole cart singing don't stop believing
🌽
alex keena r/thathappened
Hmm Wait r/ihavereddit
Anyone else feel like their head is about to get chopped off by the metal bar when they ride this?
omg.
Yoko x lol my goal is to touch it lol
OMG yes. I rode it yesterday and almost had a heart attack.
YESSS
+David Chacon Only in the right side train.
By far my favorite ride in the park!! I remember going on this about 20 times in a row with my younger sister years ago on a cloudy day... it’s so comfortable, never a long wait, and a great design.
This was probably one of my top 5 coasters at Cedar Point. It has some really good airtime and I like that there is a single loading area between the 2 tracks instead of having to fork off into 2 separate loading areas like on other dueling coasters. It is so much easier if you want to race with a friend. These also get so close that people were actually able to high-five across the trains. And unlike other racing coasters, these trains actually caught up with one another a few times.
+Jeremy Wissel I rode Gemini a few times yesterday (closing day of the 2015 season), and I can confirm everything you said. The lengthy walk from the entrance gate to the stairway leading up to the loading platform could use more lighting after sunset, but otherwise no complaints at all.
It's about time that a good POV of Gemini is posted on RUclips.
Since everyone loves this ride , for my school Graduation trip we went here and I’ve been to cedar point before but never went on rides cause I’m scared of heights.. so my teacher and friends convinced me to get on , when we got the top I’m not gonna lie I immediately wanted to leave but they said it was a “simple ride” so I’m nice and calm but then we’re going up. And I start getting paranoid 😂 and then when I say everything was fun after the drop... I swear I literally thought my heart fell out my chest 😂 my head went downward and it felt like the force wouldn’t let me move. But the race part was fun. Only complaint was the bars looked like there were made to hit ur hands 😂.
I don't know why everyone is talking about the metal bars. I had my hands up the whole time and found it amazing. I'd suggest going on this!
Me and my brother took a trip to cp last year and rode this....we actually really enjoyed this coaster
My second favorite ride in the park after Magnum! Always a short line too!
i rode magnum once, and refuse to ride it ever again. i was not used to coasters when i rode it, and was literally panicking on the first hill. i cried pretty much the whole time (which is not like me at all), and when i got off of it i could barely walk because my back hurt so bad. it was not fun.
Ashley Marie I LOVE coasters, it's probably my biggest hobby in life, and even I had a rough time with Magnum. In 2013, it was awfully rough for a steel coaster. I hope it gets/has gotten some TLC.
im 42 and this is still my oldie favorite!! and the line is always short you can ride it like 5 times in 30 mins
LIEUTENANT DAN!!
The Gemini is my favorite rollercoaster at ceder point
Wow this is simply adorable ! the way it's built like a classic woodie I absolutely love it, I need to visit cedar point just for this one honestly. It looks to me like a steel coaster built by classic woodie engineers. What a treasure
It's both wood and steel. It's a hybrid coaster
little dude in the back crying "oh my god" the whole ride sounds like hes about to die
This was the first actual roller coaster I ever rode, it's always gonna hold a special place in my heart.
I love this ride. It goes up the first hill at a good rate, isn't too scary (fear of heights) and is a great coaster
I went on this ride back in 1978 when it first opened... The concept of a wooden framed roller coaster running on tubular steel tracks was uncommon... You didn't have the rickety feeling you had on a 100% woodie, but you went smooth and FAST... The Gemini was one of the inspirations for Rocky Mountain Construction of modern day to utilize a combination of a more advanced box steel track and wooden support frame on their monsters, such as CP's Mean Streak redo, "Steel Vengence"...
I remember the old Cedar Point TV commercials in the early 80's when this was the king of the coasters there. "...and the Kilimanjaro of coasters, the GEMINI"
Wow, not seen the blue coaster not running before and I've been going there for 15 years! I love this coaster so much too, always fun to start screaming at someone else on the other color coaster that they suck and you will beat them. Also there are several spots where you can touch hands with the other coaster it is so fun!
This coaster was a blast. I was so glad it was racing on Memorial Day this year. Best part was Arcade Matt was on the other train and he thought it was funny that I recognized him on the ride.
definitely a good rollcoaster ride to start off with if you haven't rolled a Rollercoaster.
For such a big ride it deserves more respect regardless of how many times it breaks down or not
The memories. This ride was amazing.
"Yes, you are right, it is wood & steel, but one of the best "racing" coasters ever"!!!! 👍👍😊😊😃😃
Don't overlook this classic gem. It is a wooden coaster but the track system is like those of metal coasters so it's much smoother than a traditional all wooden coaster. Also this one is so much fun, especially if you have several people in your group. The cars are close enough you can high five people on the other track. The cars race each other which makes this ride kind of unique. Also the waits are pretty short for this one.
this ride is amazing
This coaster is the plain definition of fun.
My family went to the park near the end of August last year after kids went back to school and the wait lines were super short. So short we rode the Gemini 3 times (once back to back). This is definitely my favorite coaster in the park (haven't rode Steel Vengence yet though). Great air time!
I put my hands down on the first drop in my irrational fear of getting my arms cut off
This comment is so underrated lmao
It is a rougher ride but a must ride. My friends and I always split up and go on different cars. It is fun to see which car wins the race. lol
This was the first ever roller coaster I rode. I rode it when I was 6. I was screaming and crying the whole time, but now that I look back on the experience... I was an extra little kid in general. It was thrilling and fun!
I had to girls sitting behind me on this after i just rode all the inverted coasters and they were yelling WERE GONNA DIE it was halarious.
i love the Gemini
there. Is. No. The.
I went a few days ago and I am SO glad we decided to splurge on fast lane, I rode the Gemini about 8 or 9 times and it was amazing every time! It’s 41 years old but it is so smooth and fun, one of my favorite coasters of all time! (Although I’ve only gone on 5 lol)
Great rollercoaster.. a true classic. Rode it in May 2018 two times.. it was very smooth actually. Really fun!
I absolutely love this coaster! There's almost never a line and it's still super fun and smooth. I mostly just love the fact there is no line. You can wait over three hours for thirty seconds of ride, or thirty seconds for three minutes of ride is all I'm sayin'.
My friend and I and our families really take our night time racing on this ride seriously.
I remember "riding" this on a motion simulator thing at a roadside stop in NY when I was 12.
For Arrow Dynamics, this coaster is great :) Smooth for its age, and a lot of fun for everyone to ride
This is one of the best Arrow coasters still in operation, in my opinion. Even though it has low ridership, when I go I'm still lucky enough that at least 60% of the time they run both sides. It's not rough at all, has some good airtime and headchopper moments, and has decent speed and transitions that make it a rather thrilling coaster that's fun for the whole family. I hate when enthusiasts say this is going to be the next coaster to go, because as far as I can tell, it still has plenty of good years left in comparison to some of the other Arrow coasters at the park.
I remember riding this ride when it had the dangerous metal bar and the restraints that go over both people... The terrified memories...
First and last coaster I ever rode! I'm a baby!
In my opinion. Gemini and Wicked Twister are the 2 most underrated coasters, at Cedar Point.
Eh, I can also see rougarou being underatted.
the most underrated ride a the Point
I loved this roller coaster, I got nice air time 😂 but they only had one side running when I went 😩
I went on the Gemini yesterday its one of my favorite rides there
I've rode this before it's really cool and fun
Loved it....
This guy saw his first coaster and never looked back
I went on this ride for my first roller coaster and it was scare
Jared Newman same
You are correct sir. the first head chopper support is also steel :
Best wooden coaster at cedar point. Smooth enough to enjoy but has some good drops.
ITS NOT WOODEN
This ride was wooden
I thought this was a woodie at first 😂
that's was a fun ride the last one I went on
I got on this my first
time at cedar point
THE GEMINI IS MY FAVORITE RIDE!
DONT PUT "THE" BEFORE NAMES!
MY FAVORITE RIDE
This my first roller coaster ever
That lady that's screaming OH GOD is 👍
Just went on this three hours ago, little gp kids behind me are so annoying the whole lift, but from the drop & on, this whole ride is such a party
Literally no wait btw
What do you mean by gp
I feel like Gemini is a replacement for Racer, which closed 50 years prior to Gemini's opening in 1978.
I remember going on this ride in 2017 with my uncle and I was holding his hand the whole time I’m pretty sure I squeezed his hand hard but I couldn’t help it the drops made my stomach feel weird soo I couldn’t help but squeeze his hand and we were seated at the front too
This ride is so bumpy. It's almost like Magnum.
Not hardly.
Do they ever have both sides of the ride running because its always disappointing when racing coasters don't
Bryan Schurmer Yes they do. One is always in front of another.
If the crowds are There I bet This Ride Runs 100% All four trains
Only when it's really early or really late is when they only have one train in operation.
ACE (American Coaster Enthusiasts) has a plaque honoring Gemini's designer the late Ron Toomer near the entrance :
First bigger sized roller coaster I rode as a kid
Being 90% blind on this coaster is beyond relaxing
This was my first rollercoaster 🙈😂
Loved it
Going to cedar point tomorrow
What if Gemini was RMC'D and became the Twisted Colossus of Cedar Point! That would be really cool!
For a field trip my school went to cedar point and while my group was on it I kept saying "oh no"
You know, when I went to that rollercoaster the second time since years ago I was wondering what ride made me so scared. When I saw the train in the water park(?) I was like "Oh shoot." but then I liked the ride.
Guys, this ride is never going to close.
I saw a simulation of this one at an arcade when I was young.
Good old Arrow Dynamics. Too bad they're no-longer around.
Guys? Gemini Is Still at Cedar Point Opened in June,17,1978
Hey i like this ride
this is me and my cousins favorite ride lol. we went on it to prepare for maverick (dont ask ok >->) and we ended up going on it 9 times........... we lost everytime ; - ;
So, I'm going on Friday and I really want to ride this. I don't mind heights, but the dropping feeling always gets me, especially because I'm so skinny for my age. Any tips on what I should do?
The first one gets you the most!
I was on Gemini a week ago
I'M GOING THERE TOMMOROW!!!! $
Man, just got off this ride, this was scary.
Pussy
This is like the original RMC hybrid
I'm watching this because I just came from GP To Enthusiast's video about roller coaster wheels. he mentioned this coaster as one of the very few coasters to have upstop pads rather than wheels. The pads on this have to be changed quite frequently. I wonder how they manage to get new pads?
The Gemini runs one side when the ride opens in the morning or when attendance is low
Did anyone see the bird just chilling on the coster?
me
My favorite
Yes, but whether a coaster is steel or wood depends on the material of the track, not the support, so technically, Gemini is considered a steel coaster.
1:38 lol the pigeon
seagull*
I had a race with my cousin on this coaster. I was the Blue train and She was red. She keeps saying she one but it was clearly me
Won
1:41 haha, seagull...
That is by far one of the least attractive coasters ever made. It's funny how colorful the station is considering the only color for the track or supports is rust.
But it's a lot of fun to ride!
TheRealConcertKing lol you’re right, but this ride is so much fun! :D
The lol
TheRealConcertKing I've rode this ride so many times. Last time I rode it. We passed a dollar between the 2 cars.
lmao it’s wooden. none of their wooden coasters are painted beside blue streak , I don’t think :)
May I use this in a video I’m making documenting cedar points history? I’ll give you full credit
