Gemini Front Row (HD POV) Red Side Cedar Point

[@cupcakesandsprinkles3860]

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!

[@ludace4269]

Agreed.

[@fighterace284]

cupcakesandsprinkles my favorite ride there too

[@Filayyyz]

cupcakesandsprinkles The gemini is my favorite ride to ride right at the front. If you ride at the back its really boring.

[@MoreThanRocks]

My fav ride

[@Filayyyz]

Gatekeeper the one with all the tunnels i love that one.

[@TheFreekickerzUK]

1:40 that seagull on the hand rail on the left is as cool as a cucumber!

[@kyledenson1287]

haha XD he's not even flinching

[@HiNic-uh6qz]

TheFreekickerzUK omg lmao

[@TheSlappybob]

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!

[@56tuffguy]

Nice parking job at 1:20

[@mnsirens]

Oh I see It😂😂

[@Howlingburd19]

Frank Rizzo hahahaha! I just noticed that! xD

[@librababyxo]

Lmaooo

[@user-lu4xp7iv8c]

Frank Rizzo that’s Ohio for you

[@thetankguy4132]

Lol

[@chelseafn104]

I was 18 when this opened. Im now 56. Even after 38 years. Its still a great ride!!!

[@DowntownCanon]

I remember when it opened it was the bomb. Geagua Lake's Double Loop too.

[@kevinnilson4732]

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.

[@sonic-cr3tr]

I hate when they run only one side. It completely defeats the whole purpose.

[@NiftRex]

When I went they ran both.

[@samplautz5586]

Well when they don't even have enough people in line to fill one train then it makes sense

[@jarednewman2442]

You are supposed to race the other one

[@switchmintty8772]

When Theme Park Crazy rode Gemini, the trans were "neck and neck" throughout the entire layout.

[@jacyshort8176]

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.

[@XYZcoaster]

It's about time that a good POV of Gemini is posted on KZbin.

[@wawawis]

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.

[@jpwcpa]

+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.

[@alexkeena5665]

first time I rode this me and my freinds got the whole cart singing don't stop believing

[@andrewsteinke3948]

🌽

[@Kangaru13]

alex keena r/thathappened

[@shakenbake7826]

Hmm Wait r/ihavereddit

[@MrRustybear3]

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.

[@daveed2589]

I usually don't find it rough either,but last year it seemed a little more bumpy than usual.

[@forliberty1805]

I hate bumpy coasters but this one isn't bad.

[@zachcoastercrazy4032]

An older thrillseeker. That is pretty cool. Is this your favorite?

[@JaneDoe-ob9dr]

The corkcussion ride banged my head so many times I dont even remember half of it.

[@supreme2005]

My second favorite ride in the park after Magnum! Always a short line too!

[@AshleyMarieTheeGINGER1]

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.

[@cupcakesandsprinkles3860]

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.

[@billchief397]

Me and my brother took a trip to cp last year and rode this....we actually really enjoyed this coaster

[@xxamazingjayxx]

little dude in the back crying "oh my god" the whole ride sounds like hes about to die

[@chacongarza1127]

Anyone else feel like their head is about to get chopped off by the metal bar when they ride this?

[@angelinac668]

omg.

[@2loganrocks]

Yoko x lol my goal is to touch it lol

[@xSymie]

OMG yes. I rode it yesterday and almost had a heart attack.

[@squidgycarlile5592]

YESSS

[@KyleJPie10]

+David Chacon Only in the right side train.

[@LTDANMAN44]

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

[@poonslayer7661]

LIEUTENANT DAN!!

[@pupplementarypupplements5804]

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

[@epicsmiley3598]

It's both wood and steel. It's a hybrid coaster

[@ericvuitton]

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 😂.

[@myomalosza]

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!

[@abbykoenig8795]

The Gemini is my favorite rollercoaster at ceder point

[@andrewtuokkola7401]

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

[@yukinoinu]

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!

[@Variedus]

The memories. This ride was amazing.

[@ya_boi_zach5140]

This was the first actual roller coaster I ever rode, it's always gonna hold a special place in my heart.

[@forliberty1805]

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!

[@Meekimotosyoutubechannel]

Great rollercoaster.. a true classic. Rode it in May 2018 two times.. it was very smooth actually. Really fun!

[@jackphillips5238]

I remember riding this ride when it had the dangerous metal bar and the restraints that go over both people... The terrified memories...

[@Jhihmoac]

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"...

[@Wizardcastslightningbolt]

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

[@randomguyjj6298]

this ride is amazing

[@Blazing_Warrior_Cat-]

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!

[@Mallary15]

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)

[@LowgaenSchmidt]

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.

[@kyledenson1287]

definitely a good rollcoaster ride to start off with if you haven't rolled a Rollercoaster.

[@payton8386]

I put my hands down on the first drop in my irrational fear of getting my arms cut off

[@addysonzylla3542]

This comment is so underrated lmao

[@JayTor2112]

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"

[@steffanyewatkins4767]

I went on the Gemini yesterday its one of my favorite rides there

[@KennyMizuno]

i love the Gemini

[@spvcethvg8462]

there. Is. No. The.

[@orangecayman520]

MY FAVORITE RIDE

[@jpotts1515gaming]

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.

[@a-bird-lover]

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'.

[@keithreid6794]

First bigger sized roller coaster I rode as a kid

[@steveharris1740]

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.

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

For Arrow Dynamics, this coaster is great :) Smooth for its age, and a lot of fun for everyone to ride

[@thetankguy4132]

For such a big ride it deserves more respect regardless of how many times it breaks down or not

[@4evernluv1]

Loved it....

[@cancelled148]

This coaster is the plain definition of fun.

[@BlackPan]

This my first roller coaster ever

[@amusement420]

You are correct sir. the first head chopper support is also steel :

[@yeet1765]

I loved this roller coaster, I got nice air time 😂 but they only had one side running when I went 😩

[@rweverything3852]

the most underrated ride a the Point

[@marcjsolis]

My friend and I and our families really take our night time racing on this ride seriously.

[@TANOOKISUIT-df9my]

Going to cedar point tomorrow

[@Y2KLxve]

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

[@mylanelson7285]

Hey i like this ride

[@bryanschurmer5050]

Do they ever have both sides of the ride running because its always disappointing when racing coasters don't

[@usernamesarehard8147]

Bryan Schurmer Yes they do. One is always in front of another.

[@kevinthompson6986]

If the crowds are There I bet This Ride Runs 100% All four trains

[@ginaginagina.]

Only when it's really early or really late is when they only have one train in operation.

[@misterb9833]

I've rode this before it's really cool and fun

[@thomaschavers]

In my opinion. Gemini and Wicked Twister are the 2 most underrated coasters, at Cedar Point.

[@spvcethvg8462]

Eh, I can also see rougarou being underatted.

[@BipolarB]

Loved it

[@jokesyoutube309]

I got on this my first time at cedar point

[@dannywapbang]

I remember "riding" this on a motion simulator thing at a roadside stop in NY when I was 12.

[@amusement420]

ACE (American Coaster Enthusiasts) has a plaque honoring Gemini's designer the late Ron Toomer near the entrance :

[@teacupincc]

1:41 haha, seagull...

[@buggy2394]

that's was a fun ride the last one I went on

[@TackeMatty]

First and last coaster I ever rode! I'm a baby!

[@cathywhite1729]

"Yes, you are right, it is wood & steel, but one of the best "racing" coasters ever"!!!! 👍👍😊😊😃😃

[@llamabookworm677]

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?

[@b0ard_g0d25]

The first one gets you the most!

[@jarednewman2442]

I went on this ride for my first roller coaster and it was scare

[@katiecookie7796]

Jared Newman same

[@PlatinumEagleStudios]

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?

[@anthonym3021]

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.

[@tiffmunk158]

THE GEMINI IS MY FAVORITE RIDE!

[@spvcethvg8462]

DONT PUT "THE" BEFORE NAMES!

[@noahE7]

I thought this was a woodie at first 😂

[@brandonlorenzen9234]

Was the Top Thrill Dragster stuck in one place? 1:07

[@spvcethvg8462]

What? That's.. not a car.

[@ldhproductions112]

May I use this in a video I’m making documenting cedar points history? I’ll give you full credit

[@sportsMike87]

Best wooden coaster at cedar point. Smooth enough to enjoy but has some good drops.

[@290coolkid]

ITS NOT WOODEN

[@justinmerrick2811]

This ride was wooden

[@addysonzylla3542]

This was my first rollercoaster 🙈😂

[@leaf6517]

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 ; - ;

[@mynameiskrysta]

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

[@mynameiskrysta]

Literally no wait btw

[@ivy8503]

What do you mean by gp

[@solarstrike33]

I saw a simulation of this one at an arcade when I was young.

[@nethersquid6345]

Going in a couple of weeks. Anything I should run to first before the line gets long?

[@nethersquid6345]

***** Thanks. Gatekeeper seems closest to the front, so I will likely do that first!

[@TheEpic22]

Go to gatekeeper last. Everyone goes there first because it's the closest to the front, giving it long lines, while maverick and millennium force have their shortest lines in the morning. Start at the back of the park and work your way to the front, go against the flow and you will hit the shortest lines.

[@cian.o]

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.

[@samanthaerb8290]

My favorite

[@syntaxerror4683]

1:38 lol the pigeon

[@syntaxerror4683]

seagull*

[@yeetyoink2955]

I'M GOING THERE TOMMOROW!!!! $

[@kitty051299]

wouldent ravine flyer 2 and the voyage be conserdered wooden coasters, not hybrids then?

[@aacchannel4485]

I'm going to cedar point and i wondering if i should ride the ride any recommends?

[@fluffthepenguin]

So New Texas Giant, Iron rattler, Steel Medusa, and goliath are all steel coasters? Just want your opinion

[@melissajohnson7994]

The Gemini runs one side when the ride opens in the morning or when attendance is low

[@fluffthepenguin]

Because it has steel rails and a wooden support, would it be considered a hybrid coaster?

[@Blazing_Warrior_Cat-]

Yes.

[@igunzOsick]

This guy saw his first coaster and never looked back

[@SanduskianHistorian]

I feel like Gemini is a replacement for Racer, which closed 50 years prior to Gemini's opening in 1978.

[@jadynrl]

That lady that's screaming OH GOD is 👍

[@adamdragster]

This ride is so bumpy. It's almost like Magnum.

[@forliberty1805]

Not hardly.

[@headachemusic6877]

What day did you go? It was so empty!

[@pupdogdestroyer1023]

For a field trip my school went to cedar point and while my group was on it I kept saying "oh no"

[@SydeLeaderRay]

Is this a Vekoma Hybrid Coaster?

[@ark12712]

Did anyone see the bird just chilling on the coster?

[@luigithetrashlrd6070]

me

[@kalecox7476]

How mild is this ride?

[@justinmerrick2811]

I rode this while it was still a wooden coaster :)

[@FanOfVacuums2]

Justin Merrick While it was still a wooden coaster? What do you mean?

[@justinmerrick2811]

It had wooden tracks but was re-done in steel tracks.

[@FanOfVacuums2]

Justin Merrick Gemini has had steel tracks since the day it opened. It was built by Arrow Dynamics in 1978 as a "hybrid" coaster.

[@FanOfVacuums2]

***** It is (and always has been) a hybrid coaster. It has wooden supports and tubular steel tracks.

[@alexnoble2002]

+Justin Merrick no Justin it's been a hybrid ever since it opened dumbass it's never been re-done

[@shakenbake7826]

Man, just got off this ride, this was scary.
