FOFreak Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Gemini is actually has a tubular steel track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Yes, but just like Adventure Express, it has a wood structure supporting the steel track. Occasionally they have to replace the wood on the structure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 In the Blog entery here they show how they used some of the wood on the railings. They did that with The Beast earlier this year, and I think that's what they're doing with Gemini. Also, for the second time in history, Top Thrill Dragster got stuck at the top of the tower yesterday! Check it out here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigellinus Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 ^^I wonder how long they were up there for?? I believe that other time in 2005 it was close to a half-hour!! --Tiggy, still waiting for his first RB after 50+ rides... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like stated around here and other sites, ride it on a cool morning right at opening for your best chances. Good luck on your quest, it will happen.

tigellinus Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 ^^Ok, thanks!! The TTD RollBack is quite an experience. Like stated around here and other sites, ride it on a cool morning right at opening for your best chances. Good luck on your quest, it will happen. If it happens, it happens, but otherwise, I'd take a day of good fortune at CP with no ride breakdowns and small crowds over a RB. Besides, in the morning they only send out partial trains now anyway greatly minimizing RB's, and creating horrible capacity and a general waste of time trying to hit it first thing. As a funny juxtaposition, my non-enthusiast (but coaster loving) sister got a RB on her very first TTD ride ever on July 4th 2003!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
