First Day of Operation

I wouldn't normally start a thread over something so trivial, but does anybody know the first day of operation for Gemini, Jr. Gemini, and Wildcat (the 1979 installation)?

Gemini: June 17, 1978

Jr. Gemini and WildCat: May 12, 1979

What about Blue Streak and Cedar Fair Lake Erie RR?

Yeah new year, and finally got my license, well back in august. Im in need of a trip to the park.

Blue Streak opened May 23, 1964. CP&LE opened in 1963, probably on May 25.

Thanks Walt! You are the single most valuable resource for Cedar Point trivia!

I took a look around the old Virtual Midway history section. As much as I love the new PointBuzz, Virtual Midway will always bring back wonderful memories for me.
