Gemini is actually has a tubular steel track.

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.

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.

^^I wonder how long they were up there for?? I believe that other time in 2005 it was close to a half-hour!!

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.

^ A comment on the blog says 15-20 minutes

^^Ok, thanks!!

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!!
