The History of Galaxi at Kings Dominion

The History of Galaxi

Removed in 1983. Operated 1975 to 1983.

Galaxi was one of the small steel coasters that helped fill Kings Dominion in its earliest years. It opened with the park in 1975 and ran until 1983.

An opening-year ride

Galaxi was a compact steel coaster, one of roughly fifteen attractions the park opened with in 1975. Built by the SDC company, it was a mass-produced model of the kind found at parks and fairs of the era, offering a modest, twisting ride rather than a headline thrill. It operated until 1983, then was cleared to make way for the park's growing lineup.

One thing to know

It was one of roughly fifteen attractions that opened with Kings Dominion on day one in 1975.
