The Galaxi is a very slow Galaxi. Like most Galaxi coasters, this one was built by SDC. Funtowns Galaxi opened in 1978, and not much has changed since it opened. The Galaxis paint job isnt anything to scream about, but it isnt that bad. Funtowns sign for the Galaxi is big, and really lights up brightly at night. The Galaxis wait usually is less than 5 minutes long, which is nice. Unlike all the other Galaxis I have gone on, this one had individual cars, and not two cars linked together. Unfortunately, the single car trains werent as good to me as the two car trains because they didnt have that extra whip effect and caused the ride to be slower. Funtowns trains look sleek, as they are colored red, yellow, or blue. Your ride on the Galaxi begins by traveling around a U-turn, and slowly, climbing up the 45ft lift hill. You then pass under a funny sign, "Check Scream Zone", and then you travel around a U-turn. Unfortunately from there the ride slowly travels through the standard Galaxi course. The cars just barely seem to make it over hills, which in turn causes a very tame and rather uneventful ride. There were no pops of air on any of the hills. Overall, Funtowns Galaxi is the worst Galaxi I have been on. I recommend the Galaxi to anyone who enjoys roller coasters. This is an excellent roller coaster for children to make the transition, from kiddie to adult coasters.
