Gemini in Cedar Point ( Sandusky , Ohio , USA ) are two steel roller coasters designed by Ron Toomer of the type Special Coaster Systems from the manufacturer Arrow Dynamics , which opened in June 1978.

The special thing about these roller coasters is their appearance: The tubular steel rails are built on a wooden structure, so that it looks like they are wooden roller coasters, even though they are steel roller coasters.

So much should be said about the journey that the routes of both railways are largely parallel and the trains are therefore in a race.

Trains

Gemini has six trains with five cars each. Six people (three rows of two people) can be seated in each car. The passengers must be at least 1.22 m tall to be allowed to ride. Individually locking lap bars are used as a restraint system.
