“A dueling launched coaster at the centre of Celestial Park at Universal Epic Universe, the third gated theme park Universal opened in Orlando in May 2025. Two trains, named Pegasus and Lyra, race over five thousand feet of intertwined track, cresting at 133 feet and topping 62 miles per hour. The two layouts cross and re-cross several times before the brakes catch.

— about Stardust Racers

The place, in three passes.

A little of what's known, in case you fall down the rabbit hole — or want to go see it yourself.
— the place

Stardust Racers is the headline coaster of Celestial Park, the central land of Universal Epic Universe, which opened on May 22, 2025 as Universal Orlando Resort's third gated theme park (Universal Orlando). The ride is a dual-launch racing coaster built by Mack Rides of Waldkirch, Germany. Each of the two tracks runs roughly 5,000 feet, lifts to 133 feet, and tops out near 62 mph. The trains are themed as Pegasus and Lyra after the constellations that organise the visual program of Celestial Park (Mack Rides).

— the visit

Stardust Racers anchors Celestial Park, the entrance land for Universal Epic Universe and the gateway to the park's other four worlds. Single-day admission was tiered with the rest of Universal Orlando Resort at launch (Universal Orlando Tickets). Standby waits for Stardust Racers have run consistently above 90 minutes through peak afternoons since opening; Express Pass and the single-rider line both reduce the wait. The posted minimum rider height is 51 inches, and lap-bar restraints are used.

— the air

The launch hits 62 mph in a few seconds out of the station, fast enough that the wind alone clears glasses and loose caps from the row in front. The two trains share airtime moments and near-miss crossings across the 5,000-foot duel, with several head-chopper passes where the opposite track runs overhead within feet. The full ride lasts roughly a minute and a half from launch to brake run. Mack's polyurethane wheels keep the trains quiet for their speed (Mack Rides).

A few questions we get about Stardust Racers — and about bringing the piece home.
— about the place

A dueling launched roller coaster at Universal Epic Universe in Orlando, opened May 22, 2025. Two trains race over roughly 5,000 feet of intertwined track at speeds near 62 mph.

Mack Rides of Waldkirch, Germany. The same firm built Helix at Liseberg and Time Traveler at Silver Dollar City. Stardust Racers is Mack's first dueling launched coaster of this scale.

The lift crests at 133 feet and the trains top out near 62 miles per hour. Each of the two tracks runs roughly 5,000 feet from launch to brake run.

Pegasus and Lyra, after the constellations that organise the visual theme of Celestial Park, the entrance land guests pass through first on the way into Epic Universe.

It opened to the public on May 22, 2025, as Universal Orlando Resort's third gated theme park, after Universal Studios Florida (1990) and Islands of Adventure (1999).

Riders must be at least 51 inches tall, about 130 centimetres. The ride uses lap-bar restraints. Express Pass and a single-rider line are available to shorten the standby wait.

— about the piece in your home

It has carried well for season-pass holders and opening-week visitors. Stardust Racers is the signature ride of Epic Universe's first season. A Small or Medium with a studio note travels well as a fan gift.

The stained-glass palette sits in Maximalist, jewel-tone Modern and game-room interiors. The deep blues and gold of the constellation theme carry against walnut, dark teal and warm-metal accents.

A single Large reads at sofa or console distance. For a longer wall, a 4-tile Mural carries the dueling-track motion across the room; a 9-tile Mural is the focal-point option.

Yes, with the Dura Satin or Matte finish. Both are scratch-resistant and built for steam, splash and daily wipe-down. The pigment lives in the surface and is not lifted by humidity.

A soft microfibre cloth and a little water is enough. The colour is slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, so daily care does not affect the pigment.

Yes. Each WenderVista piece is drawn and hand-finished in our Knoxville studio. We do not license the artwork and the piece is not sold through outside retailers.
