This article is about the roller coaster in Ohio. For the roller coaster in North Carolina, see Wilderness Run (Carowinds).

Wilderness Run (formerly Jr. Gemini) is a steel kiddie roller coaster built by Liechtensteiner coaster manufacturer Intamin at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio.^[1] Built in 1979, it was previously named Jr. Gemini, after the ride that sits across the midway from it, Gemini.^[1] In 2014, Cedar Point renovated the Gemini Midway, including Wilderness Run.^[2][3] 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,^[4] 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.
