Galaxi (also Galaxy) is the common name of a series of mass-produced roller coasters manufactured primarily by Italian company S.D.C, which went bankrupt in 1993. [1] The roller coaster design was first used in the 1970s, and several examples are still in operation. [1]

The Galaxi has a track length of 335 metres, with a ride time of 120 seconds and a maximum speed just over 50 kilometres per hour. [1] The track is steel. [1] Train (roller coaster)s consist of two four-seat cars, making 8 passengers per train. [1] The ride is designed to be transportable, and disassembles onto seven trailers. [1]

As of 2007, seventeen Galaxi coasters are in park-based operation, across the North American, European, and Australian continents, with another two Standing But Not Operating. [2] At least 37 amusement parks are or have previously operated Galaxi coasters; this does not include those owned by funfairs and traveling ride companies. [2]
