Gemini

The Gemini features parallel racing tracks with a wooden structure and steel rails, reaching speeds of 96 kilometers per hour over 1,199 meters.

Arrow Dynamics constructed this hybrid coaster in 1978 at Cedar Point, making it one of the earliest examples of racing roller coasters in North America.

The name derives from the Latin word for twins, representing the parallel tracks where two trains run simultaneously for competitive entertainment.

Four separate trains allow the coaster to accommodate 3,300 riders per hour, reducing wait times during peak periods at Cedar Point.

The combination of wooden support structures with steel track rails creates a specific riding experience different from traditional wooden or steel coasters.
