We don’t know about you, but we can’t WAIT for Epic Universe to open at Universal Orlando in 2025.
Epic Universe consists of five lands: The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic, Super Nintendo World, How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk, Dark Universe and Celestial Park – where it all begins. And we just got a sneak peek at one of the NEW roller coasters!
In the Epic Universe, Celestial Park will be known as the “world between worlds, where everything begins and ends.” This is where you’ll find the portals to all the different areas of Epic Universe. But you won’t want to leave Celestial Park until you’ve ridden Stardust Racers!
Stardust Racers (first announced as Starfall Racers) is a double-launch roller coaster that will reach speeds of up to 62 mph. It will feature inverted intersections and a “dazzling display of vibrant colors and ethereal music.” And Universal just offered a FIRST LOOK at the coaster in action!
Check it out in the video below!

What’s unique about Stardust Racers is that there will be no external track lighting. Instead, the cars will be covered in lights, lighting up the sky as they race around the track!
We think the best time to ride Stardust Racers is at night! This roller coaster will make you feel like you’re on a comet shooting through the sky. Plus, we think this attraction will be beautiful to see at night!
Celestial Park is where you enter Epic Universe, so the land acts as a sort of “grand entrance”. The land’s theme is based on the idea that Celestial Park is a “world between worlds” where the energy of the universe is used to create the “portals” to the other four lands.
Celestial Park’s portal is more subtle in design, reflecting the idea that this land harnesses the power of the universe for the benefit of the other lands. It’s also a little grander than the others!
In addition to Stardust Racers, Celestial Park also features the Constellation Carousel and Astronomica, a children’s playground. There will also be plenty of places to eat and drink, and you can read everything we know about Celestial Park here!
In the meantime, we’ll be on the lookout for any update on Celestial Park and the rest of Epic Universe. Stay tuned to AllEars as we continue to share the latest news and more!
