Wilderness Run (formerly Jr. Gemini) is a steel kiddie roller coaster built by Intamin at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. It was previously named after the ride that sits across the midway from it, Gemini. After exiting the 19-foot-tall lift hill, the coaster train goes through a 270-degree turn to the left, followed by a small dip. The train then goes through a 270-degree turn to the right which leads to the station. Because course is so short, riders are sent through it twice.
Wilderness Run is notably the first roller coaster produced by Intamin, which went on to be a major ride manufacturer.[1] In 2014, Junior Gemini will be renamed Wilderness Run with its entrance being relocated to Camp Snoopy.[2]
Structure
The ride is made of tubular steel with brown steel supports and green track. The queue goes underneath the last bunny hill of the roller-coaster
