Trains on both tracks of Stardust Racers at Epic Universe got stuck on Sunday, January 18, forcing the attraction to close for the day. It remains closed on Monday and we don’t know when it will reopen.

Stardust Racers Closed Due to Double Valley

Universal guests shared photos and videos of both trains “valleyed,” meaning they failed to make it over a hill and dropped backwards into a valley, where they are now stuck. The failure may have been related to unusually high winds in the Orlando area on Sunday.

There were no guests on the trains when the incident(s) took place midday on Sunday. The ride was closed that morning due to the weather, and team members were testing the trains without guests in hopes of reopening.

It’s not the first time Stardust Racers has encountered this issue. A train on one track of the coaster got stuck back in March, before the park’s official opening. Universal had to bring in a crane to lift the train out of the valley.

X user ThemeParkJJ shared a photo of the crane back in the park on Monday morning to fix the trains currently stuck.

We don’t know how long it will take to fix the trains and then ensure Stardust Racers is safe for reopening. It could remain closed for a few more days.
