Work continues to progress on the landscaping near the Atlantic Restaurant with trees now in place. Water is also flowing at the cascading water feature at the Luna Overlook.
At the front of Stardust Racers in Celestial Park, scaffolding has been removed seemingly indicating that the theming is complete.
Preview guests ride Stardust Racers above as train cars cross each other on the tracks.
More views of preview guests riding Stardust Racers can be seen above. On the right, the train cars pass each other in opposite directions as they pass through fog.
During testing of the Epic Universe fountain, dirt was spreading through the basin from the waterfall that flows into the fountain.
Signage has been installed at The Blue Dragon restaurant near the Epic Universe Fountain.
