Galaxy Coaster
With around 50 units operating worldwide, Galaxy (also spelt Galaxi) is the most mass produced rollercoaster in the world. Galaxy’s were one of many portable steel coaster designs from Italian based SDC in the early 1970’s. This design was also manufactured in Italy by Daniele Pinfari.
The Galaxy’s widespread popularity is due to its compact foot-print while offering a relatively long ride of 120 seconds on 335 metres of track with two major dips and a top speed of 50 km / hour.
There are 3 Galaxy Coasters in Australia, 25+ in North America and at least 15 in Europe.
OH GOSH!

Ride Story: I was at Morey’s Piers once. I was previously on Super Scooters,Sunny C. Gull’s Lighthouse Lookout,Sea Serpent,Ballon Race(Ferris Wheel version),Kite Flyer(Miniature Cliffhanger),Moby Dick and Music Express. I went on the Giant Vekoma Wheel to see what other rides I wanted to go on or do I have to go to another pier. I saw a coaster that looked like either a Pinfari or a Wild Mouse. After the ferris wheel,I darted over to it. It was a Pinfari Galaxy. So I went in line,got a mouse and went up a lift hill.On the hill I got nervous. I went through a Wild Mouse turn. It dropped us,Dad lost his Phillies cap on the bunny hill.All and all 8.8 out of 10. See you on a Galaxy and good night or morning.
