In the heart of the all-new Epic Universe, a spectacle unlike any other awaits: Stardust Racers. This celestial thrill ride is located in Celestial Park, a land where the stars and cosmos intertwine with adventure.
As guests enter Celestial Park, they are greeted by stunning architecture, ancient cosmic lore, and futuristic ingenuity. On the edge of the land towers Stardust Racers, an awe-inspiring dueling coaster where riders will experience an intergalactic race powered by the very energy of the cosmos itself. According to legend, the Celestians (inhabitants of this world) have harnessed cosmic energy through the powerful Chronos, the name of the tall, iconic structure and portal that serves as the main entrance to the park, transporting guests to Celestial Park. They have transformed their celestial pastime into a breathtaking attraction by capturing and controlling comets.
From the moment riders step into the queue, they are immersed in a cosmic adventure. Comets dot the landscape, the queue winds through the cosmic realm, then, guests board their racing vehicles—two competing coasters set to launch side-by-side in an electrifying battle through space and time.
The adventure begins with Launch One. Riders head through a tunnel, where streaks of glowing stardust create the illusion of entering a hyperspace jump. A powerful thrust catapults riders forward, evoking the sensation of soaring through a nebula. As the coasters race neck-and-neck, they crest over the first Top Hat, momentarily weightless before diving back toward the ride building. The track splits, sending each coaster to opposite sides before reuniting for the next stage of the cosmic competition.
As if one launch wasn’t enough, the ride powers up for Launch Two, a second propulsion that rockets riders into the exhilarating final stretch.
Then comes the most talked-about element: The Celestial Spin. This never-before-seen inversion twists both coasters into a synchronized ballet of gravity-defying rolls, flipping and intertwining in a breathtaking cosmic dance. This mind-bending moment is truly one-of-a-kind, thrilling both seasoned-coaster-enthusiasts and casual-riders alike.
From here, the “back nine” of the ride delivers sweeping turns, airtime hills, and dueling near-miss moments where the two coaster trains appear to narrowly avoid colliding—only to swerve apart at the last second. The grand finale delivers a high-speed helix that spirals downward before riders finally glide back to the station after one more high-five hill towards eachother, their hearts still pounding from the thrill.
Stardust Racers was voted Most Anticipated Roller Coaster for 2025!
Stardust Racers is Universal’s longest roller coaster ever, with a staggering track length of nearly 4,800 feet—just under a mile! Clocking in around 90-seconds long, the coaster’s dynamic layout is further enhanced by a stunning lighting package, designed to make it appear as though riders are streaking through the night sky like celestial comets. Unlike traditional coaster lighting, the track remains unlit, allowing the glowing ride vehicles to stand out against the darkened sky, creating an ethereal, otherworldly effect. Even guests watching from the sidelines will be mesmerized as the land around them reacts to the racing coasters, subtly illuminating with each passing comet.
No Universal attraction would be complete without an unforgettable soundtrack, and Stardust Racers is no exception. The entire ride is underscored by a custom-orchestrated musical composition, heightening every twist, turn, and launch. From the grand overture that greets guests in the queue – to the triumphant crescendo that propels them through the Celestial Spin, the music is an integral part of the experience, immersing riders even further into the cosmic spectacle.
Child Swap and lockers are available, with Child Swap offering incredible vantage points of the coaster’s launches—ideal for family members waiting their turn. And for those debating the best seat on the ride? While coaster enthusiasts will love the back row for maximum airtime, the front row delivers unbeatable views, making it a must-try.
While much has been revealed about this groundbreaking coaster, one secret remains tucked away in the stars—an exclusive Easter egg that only the keenest riders will discover. It’s a hidden gem that pays homage to both Universal’s past and the magic of the cosmos, ensuring that every rider leaves with a sense of wonder and mystery.
