Overview
- Stardust Racers closed on February 19 with a planned February 22 return, but Inside Universal now reports reopening is pushed to February 28.
- Universal has not provided a detailed public explanation for the extended downtime.
- Late last year, testing in unusually high winds caused both trains to valley, requiring a crane and a multi‑day closure.
- On February 8, the coaster operated on only one side, temporarily removing the dueling feature and driving up wait times.
- In September 2025, a rider’s death was ruled accidental; a subsequent family lawsuit was dismissed following a private agreement, and Universal later tightened accessibility and transfer rules for high‑intensity coasters.
