Jr. Gemini
1979-2013
Jr. Gemini was a roller coaster designed for kids.

In 1979 Cedar Point opened Gemini Children's Area. It was added to the Gemini Midway. The area featured a new roller coaster called Jr. Gemini. Rock, Spin & Turn, and Space Age were relocated to the new kids area to give kids more rides.

Cedar Point and Intamin would also go on to build some of the best attractions in the world together including: Demon Drop (1983-2009), Avalanche Run (1985-1989), Thunder Canyon (1986), Disaster Transport (1990-2012), Millennium Force (2000), Wicked Twister (2002-2021, Top Thrill Dragster (2003-2021), Maverick (2007), and Shoot the Rapids (2010-2015).
During this time period, Intamin would work with tons of other parks. In 2005 they built Kingda Ka, the current world's tallest roller coaster. |
