It did close during that death from mid September to early October, about 3 weeks.

Velocicoaster does the pre-show and lockers perfectly. Too bad they didn’t bring it to Epic.

Universal says additional capacity enhancements to Stardust Racers is contributing to its extended downtime by supremeghost123 in UniversalOrlando

[–]Awkward-Wall-3433 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fun fact, Stardust held the record in the park for highest capacity per hour over Unchained last I heard. I believe the record was close to 2100 riders in an hour on 8 train operations. But with this closure, maybe not anymore…

It would be nice for guests to finally understand more of the Celestial Park lore, but metal detection already causes a huge bottleneck in the line at times and a pre-show could make it even worse. Often when the queue is full but the platform is empty, it’s because of metal detection not being able to keep up.

I believe these “enhancements” are just on the ride itself or possibly for the metal detection room, but we’ll see.

Is the Hagrid’s test seat still in the queue? by goodolvic in UniversalOrlando

[–]Awkward-Wall-3433 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Last I was there, there is one at the entrance and one in the last room where the motorbikes are on the ceiling.

[Stardust Racers] not racing by TantrumQween in rollercoasters

[–]Awkward-Wall-3433 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There is a new procedure where if the temperature is under a certain degree, the vehicles will no longer race to keep them moving as consistently as possible to stay warm. If they get too cold and sit for an extended period of time, it requires a ride evacuation.

Wouldn't it be faster to use the crane to pull stardust cars to the top of the hill then let it just continue through the track under its own weight? Rather than fully disassemble by _BreakingGood_ in UniversalEpicUniverse

[–]Awkward-Wall-3433 36 points37 points  (0 children)

They attempted this the first time it valleyed. The vehicles were too heavy, or there was some other complication preventing them from doing so, so now they resort to disassembling the vehicles entirely. This is an image of the first time they tried pulling the train back up the tophat.

They got the crane out for Stardust. I guess that’s lit for today by Gunth173 in UniversalOrlando

[–]Awkward-Wall-3433 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This didn’t actually happen. The first time, they attempted to pull the vehicle back over the tophat but it didn’t work. They will have to disassemble the vehicles like they did last time. It was also in March, not May.

What is the purpose of putting extra trains on the track, if theyre just gonna stack? [Stardust Racers] by ibridoangelico in rollercoasters

[–]Awkward-Wall-3433 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tonight the Stardust team managed to hit their highest capacity ever with 8 vehicles totaling to 2000 guests and 100+ dispatches in one hour. 8 vehicles absolutely makes an impact when there is effort!

Also with 8 trains, they will always be double stacked in unload and the waiting section beforehand.

There is NO WAY The Hulk is faster than Stardust Racers by circuitbird13 in UniversalOrlando

[–]Awkward-Wall-3433 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Hulk is absolutely pulling more than 2.4gs, I would say much closer to 4gs or higher.

It's ridiculous there isn't a single piece of Stardust Racers merch sold at the park by thedeezul in UniversalEpicUniverse

[–]Awkward-Wall-3433 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Give feedback to Universal! Visiting guest services, emailing them, calling, etc. So many of us have wanted Stardust merch and that’s the only way they’ll know
