Wilderness Run (formerly Jr. Gemini) is a steel kiddie roller coaster built by Liechtensteiner coaster manufacturer Intamin at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio.[1] Built in 1979, it was previously named Jr. Gemini, after the ride that sits across the midway from it, Gemini.[1] In 2014, Cedar Point renovated the Gemini Midway, including Wilderness Run.[2][3] Instead of blue paint, they used brown supports with green track to match the nearby Camp Snoopy children's area. After exiting the 19-foot-tall lift hill,[4] the coaster train goes through a 270-degree turn to the left, followed by a small hill over the beginning of the lift hill. The train then goes through a 270-degree turn to the right which leads to the station.
Structure and Colors
[edit | edit source]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. The train is painted orange and yellow with a red stripe.
As Jr. Gemini,[1] the ride had all blue track and supports with a multicolored train with the first car painted yellow, the second car painted red, the third car painted orange, and the fourth car painted purple.
