Figuratively, as well as literally standing in the shadows of Cedar Point's world-renowned lineup of coasters such as Millennium Force and Magnum, Gemini appears positively quaint. (It's even got a retro name and space theme, fer cryin' out loud.) But looks can be deceiving. Gemini is one rush of an airtime launch pad, and its 60-mph top speed would have any NASA space cadet hanging on for dear life. Like Racer, Gemini is a twin-tracked racing coaster. And speaking of deceiving looks, the ride's wood structure actually has a tubular steel track; Gemini combines a classic, wood coaster appearance with a smooth, steel-coaster ride.
