Gemini Midway
|
Gemini Midway is the midway that is directly in front of the Gemini roller coaster. The midway completed the loop in the park. The new midway connected the Corkscrew Midway to Frontier Town.
Today the area is home to 4 roller coasters, 3 family rides, 1 thrill ride, 7 kids rides, shopping, games, and dinning. This area hasn't always been this way. The Gemini Midway you see today is a story of evolution. In 1978 the Gemini Midway only had Gemini. |
