You're right, the only things Gemini and Colossus have in common is they are both 125 feet fall, 60 mph fast, and race.
Not "only". I'd say there are more major similarities than differences.

As for actual layout, track design, and ride experience (such as Colossus actually not racing); the rides are very different.
I wouldn't go as far as to say that. 1) Conceptually, their layouts are similar; 2) Agreed, 3) Trivial point to make considering that Gemini could run only one track as well or Colossus with both.

It is indeed an apples to oranges comparison, just like how B&M and Arrow Hypers are not similar comparison, regardless of sharing similar heights, speeds, and general layouts.
Agreed, comparing these hypers is apples vs. oranges because they generally
don't share the same statistics or concepts with layouts. I wouldn't say that's so much the case with Gemini vs. Colossus though.
I get the point. You (among others) think Gemini and Colossus shouldn't be compared. In that sense, should
any coaster not be compared with another (with the exception of exact clones) due to being different and unique in its own way? What's the fun in that?
All nitpicking aside, I think OP should have created a poll for this topic.
