It's a fun ride..and at times..you can actually shake hands with riders in the other car..(not recommended, i don't think they want you to do that..that's just how close the trains actually are)

I've never understood why people love this ride so much. I was bored on it, and it shook me up a bit.

I agree with Phil. Gemini wasn't that great. It wasn't fun, it wasn't thrilling...it was just boring. It had some good parts to it, but nothing great. The park also only ran one track during all three days I visited. And I was under the impression that it always raced.

Gemini is amazing, what are you guys talking about??? The back seat is extremely thrilling, especially the first drop and the amazing head chopper toward the end of the ride.

I think the drop was good, but I was bruised by the last helix. BTW, if it matters.. I was in the red train

The first drop really got my stomach. I like this ride, it's especially fun how close the trains get.

^ I agree, this is one very smooth coaser, the steel track makes a difference. It has great airtime and fun hills, i could have gone without the end, but still a great ride and one of the best in the park.

This is one fun ride, it has some great air time and it is surprisingly smooth for an Arrow.

My absolute FAVORITE ride (as of 2006) Great first hill. The racing theme really is great. Has great airtime hills. The helixes are AWESOME!!!

Kinda funny that its older than Mean Streak and its smoother LOL.

What is the difference of the Red and Blue side besides the sharpness of the turns. It could be a good ride if it was not so bumpy in the front and back of the six seater cars. The best part is the helix at end but if the trim treatment is not in use, it gives you whiplash on blue side. To me.
