Gemini, Two Lift Hills?

Occording to Cedar Point's "Fun Facts"(http://www.cedarpoint.com/public/news/facts.cfm), it says that the following coasters have two lift hills, Gemini, Iron Dragon and the Cedar Creek Mine Ride.

Is this true? If it is where is it located?

Plus doesn't Wildcat technically have two lift hills because at the top of one hill there is 5 feet of lift hill chain.

I'm guessing they are just going by the obvious fact that there really are two lift hills-side by side. So apparently they must be considering Gemini to be one coaster, not two. Hmm...I find that interesting.

What you see on the hill on Wildcat is just anti-rollbacks. There is no moving lift there.


And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

TopThrill is correct. Sure they are on the two seperate tracks, but there are technically two lift hills on the ride.

As for Wildcat, those are anti-rollbacks, there is no chain there.

(Chris, you beat me by 5 seconds with that one... :)) *** Edited 4/14/2006 4:18:19 AM UTC by DBCP***

Oh yeah ok cool.

Speaking of facts... Wasn't Millennium Force the first "Giga-Coaster?"
Looks like someone messed up...

Where does it say otherwise?

Under "Top Thrill Dragster," the first fact.

Too bad other rides don't have 2 lifts... I always wished Mean Streak had them.

HA! Last night it read "Giga-coaster." I even have a print-out of it. Even more proof that *they* read the site? :)

pyrocoasterkid: That wasn't like that last night. Obviously they changed something on that page today and it must have gotten a little messed up. *** Edited 4/14/2006 3:59:51 PM UTC by DBCP***

The four boats on Paddlewheel Excursions (Ogontz, Catawba, Winnebago, Black Channel) are not steered by rails or track underneath the water. Rather, they are piloted by a trained “Captain.”

Those Disney Jungle Cruise-Style boats can't compare to the old paddlewheel vessels that graced the lagoon, which once had a beautiful heavy wooded atmosphere.
