Overview
- Universal Orlando confirmed to local outlets that Stardust Racers will remain closed through at least April 5 for inspection and maintenance.
- The resort says the work includes additional capacity and throughput enhancements, with FOX 35 reporting that queue improvements are part of the plan.
- The coaster first closed on February 19 for a brief maintenance window that was extended multiple times from February 22 to February 28, then March 14, and now April 5.
- Earlier this year, testing during unusual weather caused trains to valley and require crane recovery, and last September a rider death was later ruled accidental by investigators.
- With spring break underway and the park offering about 11 rides, the prolonged downtime is tightening overall capacity and lengthening waits across Epic Universe.
