Wilderness Run (formerly Jr. Gemini) is a steel masters roller coaster built by Intamin at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. Built in 1979, it was previously named after the ride that sits across the midway from it, Gemini. In 2014, Cedar Point renovated the Gemini Midway including Wilderness Run. Instead of blue paint, they used brown supports with green track to match the nearby Camp Snoopy children's area. After exiting the 19-foot-tall lift hill, the coaster train goes through a 270-degree turn to the left, followed by a small hill over the beginning of the lift hill. The train then goes through a 270-degree turn to the right which leads to the station. Because the course is so short, riders are given the option to go through it twice. The riders are asked at the end of the first cycle through the track if they want to ride again, and those who don't are let off and those who do have to wait for their restraints to be checked again.
