It closed during the pandemic, and never reopened. The theatre enclosure was demolished during the removal of the Mindbender. | Intermediate |
| Kiddie Karavan | 1985 | Unknown | 2 tickets | Miniature Carousel for small children with no horses. Riders would ride in either 1 of 2 fish, a deer, a duck, or a carriage. Originally known as a mini-wave swinger, the characters the children were seated on were secured together, and the speed of the ride slowed so that seats did not swing outwards. It closed in the early 2000s and Motojump moved where Kiddie Karavan was, Cosmic Spinner moved into Motojump's former location. Motojump moved again in 2015 to the former location of Cosmo's Space Fountain with the Solar Spinner (Play-Doh Dizzy Doh-Dohs). | |
| Paddle Boats | Unknown | Unknown | 3 tickets | Paddle boats for larger children and adults originally borrowed Pelican brand boats from Hawrelak Park, later Sun Dolphin brand boats. Galaxyland Raceway is located in its former location. The "islands" of the lake and staining from water exposure are still visible, especially on the "island" that supports the Dragon Wagon. Additionally, the exit/entrance stairs from the ride are also visible beneath the base of the Cosmic Spinner and are best seen from riding the Galaxyland Express. | |
| Mini-Enterprise | Unknown | Unknown | 2 tickets | Known also as a Mini-Enterprise, it was a scaled-down version, with six cars of similar proportions to its larger namesake. The ride moved in a circular motion and tilted up to approximately 30 degrees while rotating, but the revolutions per minute did not allow the cars to swing outward like a full-size Enterprise ride, they merely hung. Located between the former Mindbender control booth and the balloon race ride. | |
| Zipper | 1990's | Likely 1998-1999 | 5 tickets | The Zipper was located near the operating booth of the former Mindbender where the entrance to the "Haunted Castle" now resides. It was removed due to numerous breakdowns in one spot. The mechanics could stop the constant breakdowns by modifying the ride to run differently but it would not be as much fun to ride. Also, constant breakdowns were because the Zipper in Galaxyland was the only park model zipper known. It ran all year round in end putting excessive wear on the ride and causing constant breakdowns. Manufactured by Chance Amusements. | |
| Orbitron | 1985 | 1995 | 4 tickets | A ride with a center that rises about 12 feet, and cranks arms at the ends of the sweeps. Each crank arm has two tubs on it, and as the center rotates, the crank arms rotate to bounce the tubs up and down. Manufactured by Zierer and known as a Hexentanz or Fireball. Upon the Orbitron's removal, the cement pad underneath it supported the "UFO Maze". This maze stood for a number of years before it was removed due to the construction of the Galaxy Orbiter. The pad currently supports a "finale" section of the Galaxy Orbiter. Despite its removal, the ride's operating booth (complete with a height-restriction notice) that also stood there was eventually removed due to the Mindbender removal, But the queue lines can still be seen, and are best viewed when riding the Galaxy Orbiter. Although the red, yellow and white tile theme can also be seen today when exiting Galaxyland from entrance 12. | |
| Disco Dynamo | 1985 | Unknown | 5 tickets | Spinning ride, capable of rotating forward and backward on an undulating path in a circle. Generally, the ride only ran backward but was capable of forward motion. Manufactured by Mack Rides as a park model of their "Disco Star" or "Super Disco Star" The Sonic Storm (formerly Cosmic Revolution, now Havoc) is located in this ride's former location. Ride sold and operated indoors as the Disco Star, at Fun Zone in New York State. After bankruptcy sale at auction in New York, now operates at Sindbad Wonderland - Gulshan, India. | |
| Perilous Pendulum | 1985 | 2004 | 5 tickets | Upside-down boat. Manufactured by Intamin as Looping Starship. The Solar Flare (replaced by Sonic Twister's new location, now Flying Galleon) is located in this ride's former location. The ride was the world's first indoor Looping Starship. The main riding area (the boat) was located in the parking lot just north of Galaxyland's entrance 10 wrapped in tarps until its removal in 2004. | |
| Drop of Doom | 1985 | 2001 | 5 tickets | A first-generation free-fall tower ride. Manufactured by Intamin. Riders were transported up a high gantry in a cage similar to an elevator car before being dropped down 120 feet (37 m) into an exiting area. Despite the arguable fact that it was the park's second greatest attraction (behind the former Mindbender), it was removed in 2002. The tall, cylindrical space where the gantry stood is currently occupied by the "Space Shot" tower ride (albeit it operates similarly to a Double Shot). The entrance/exit area sat unoccupied for a short time before housing Quirks in the Works, an interactive laser ride. Despite many first-generation freefall rides having been scrapped, the Drop of Doom was re-assembled, painted a dark red/burgundy color, and opened in 2006 as the Hollywood Tower in Movie Land Park, Italy. | |
| Rockin' Rocket | 2003 | 2006 | 4 tickets | A rocket-shaped vehicle would move back and forth on a curved metal base while spinning. A rocket version of the Zamperla Rockin' Tug ride. The Galaxy Orbiter's loading and unloading station is located in its former location. The rocket itself sat outside of Galaxyland wrapped in tarps, until its removal. | |
| Sonic Storm | 2003 | 2010 | 6 tickets | A ride for the daring! 32 passengers are propelled backward in a circular bouncing motion. A Techno Jump manufactured by Sartori. This ride is in the former location of the Disco Dynamo. The ride is to be replaced by the Cosmic Revolution in March 2011. It has been removed as of January 2010. | |
| Autocars | Unknown | Unknown | 2 tickets | Small-themed antique cars on an L-shaped circular track for younger children. Formerly located opposite the Cootie Coaster, later replaced by the Laser Maze and a coin-operated remote control car attraction. | |
| Sky Diver [18] | 1985 | Unknown | 3 tickets | A tall parachute-style drop ride for children, Originally located on the site of the SR2 ride, which was later replaced by the kiddie dragon coaster. Suffered low ridership due to the height (children were taken to the ceiling before being dropped), which frightened many. Also difficult to load/unload children without adult assistance. | |
| SR2 Motion Simulator | Unknown | Unknown | Cash ride, later 4 tickets | Originally a leased ride, not covered by the Fantasyland ticket system. Replaced the Kiddie Parachute Drop. A motion simulator ride with a 16 mm film projector simulating various other amusement rides, such as "The Beast" roller coaster at kings island. Initially problematic due to insufficient cooling of hydraulics, failure of the film mechanism, and the subject of numerous customer complaints due to not accepting ride coupons. Later replaced by the Kiddie Dragon coaster. Manufactured by Doron. | |
| Astro Base Alpha | 1985 | Unknown | 4 tickets | A motion ride with arcade features. Located originally in the footprint of the former Mindbender Rollercoaster in a dome structure. The ride was enclosed in the dark and used a modified Tilt-a-Whirl platform, with riders seated in molded chairs, each with a "laser gun". As the ride undulated and spun, the riders were to shoot at light-sensitive targets located in the upper dome, and scores were recorded on the internal computer system. Delayed in opening due to the Mindbender accident, it ran for only a couple of years. Completely demolished and replaced by the current theatre within the former Mindbender footprint. Manufactured by Sellner. | |
| Space Probe | 1985 | Unknown | 3 tickets | Rides were seated in a sphere which was in turn located in a formed clear plastic tube. The ride consisted of 3 powered fans lifting the sphere within the tube, and "bouncing" the sphere multiple times. Thrill derived from the feeling the sphere would be propelled from the open end of the tube, though this was physically impossible due to the loss of air pressure once the sphere reached the top. The original concept called for several units which would have "battles" between them with shooting and lasers, but only one was ever purchased and modified to bounce riders. Originally located behind the former Mindbender operator's booth, later relocated closer to the Orbitron Ride Entrance. Eventually scrapped due to low ridership, and repeated mechanical failures. Manufactured by Saker One Corp. | |
| Harbour Cruisers | 1985 | Unknown | 2 tickets | A boat ride located in the lake formerly located where the Galaxyland Raceway and the Spinning Coaster are now located. Consisted of 12 barge-looking boats with canopies, four seats each. Every boat was affixed to a square nylon cord which was pulled through the bottom of the lake on a submerged track structure. Never a popular ride due to the lack of theming and scenery on the lake, the ride was constantly breaking due to the high friction force on the nylon cord which caused it to snap often, stranding riders. Lake also did not have a filtration system and resulting in algae blooms and constant draining and cleaning. Replaced on an interim basis by paddle boats, until the lake was finally drained and discontinued. Boats were sold in the local "bargain finder" paper. | |
| Laser Maze | Unknown | Unknown | Cash ride, later 3 tickets | A walk-through dark ride, designed by Disney Imagineer Rolly Crump, [19] replacing the Autocars. As players walked through the maze, robots, targets, and the like were illuminated, and the object was to shoot the targets at them. Each player was issued a rifle-looking gun that sent out a light beam to record a hit on the targets. Scores were recorded on an IBM XT computer and displayed on screens around the attraction. Originally located in a leased retail bay of the mall, later relocated to within Fantasyland, and operated as a separate entity that did not take ride tickets. Later, due to numerous complaints, ride tickets were eventually accepted. | |
| Haunted Dark Ride | Unknown | Unknown | Never completed - likely 4 | A haunted dark ride was scheduled to be built in an area located where the operations office and wall games are in phase two. Never completed due to schedule issues during the opening of phase two of the amusement park, the cars and equipment were ordered, and sat in the basement of Phase three of the mall until 1989 when they were sold. The ride would have operated on two levels, on a spiral oval track, and went into its own basement, before re-emerging on the main floor. The basement was hastily converted to a warehouse for games inventory, and today the only sign of its existence is a change in concrete floor texture over the basement, near the office. | |
| Galaxy Twister | 1995 | 2009 | 6 tickets | A fast-speed 36-seated ride that moves and twists forward and backward with sharp drops and flipping motions. A Crazy Flip (Super Loop on Top) manufactured by Soriani & Moser. Opened in 1995, and removed in 2009 to make way for Sonic Twister. However, since Sonic Twister moved to the former Solar Flare ride, Ropes Quest is currently located in the former location. It closed in 2015 to make way for Flying Galleon. | |
| Solar Flare | 2004 | 2014 | 6 tickets | The Solar Flare is a thrill ride where riders experience an intense ground rush as they circle the blazing sun, flipping, and spinning in all directions as they flip forward and backward. This ride is in the former location of the Perilous Pendulum. A Hoppla manufactured by Moser. Closed as of March 2014. Solar Flare was closed due to a lack of riders. Also, Sonic Twister moved to where Solar Flare was. Sonic Twister's old location was replaced by Ropes Quest. | |
| Sonic Twister | 2009 | 2015 | 6 tickets | A Sidewinder 12 model from Moser Rides. Spins in circles as it swings back and forth up to a 120-degree angle on each side. Ropes Quest was located in its former location and was located in the former Solar Flare ride. Removed in 2015 for the new location of Flying Galleon. | |
| Cosmic Revolution | 2011 | 2017 | 2 points | 12 two-passenger cars are connected on an undulating circular track with bumps. The cars travel back and forth at high speeds, the speed often determined by the music and DJ operator, who interacts with riders throughout their experience on the ride. The height requirement is 48 inches. This ride has been removed from Galaxyland as of April 24, 2017. This ride was replaced by Havoc in the summer of 2018. | |
| Galaxy Raceway | Unknown | 2018 | 1 point | Slow-moving electric go-karts driven through an "Indy" style racetrack. Removed and replaced with Galactic Rodeo in 2017–2018. | Beginner |
