    Stardust Racers
    Monique W.

    This is one of the shorter wait time attraction rides at Epic Universe. Stardust Racers is a high thrill dual launching rollercoaster located in Epic Universe at Universal Orlando Resort in Orlando Florida. It's located in Celestial Park. You'll immediately see it on your right side as your going towards the Harry Potter and the Ministry of Magic themed area. The theme of this ride is that you're essentially boarding a comet. On this comet you race through the skies of the themed land called Celestial Park. This coaster has two side by side tracks. The top speeds for this ride is around 62 mph! One of the signature moments is when the two coasters invert and cross over each other mid air. The restraint system is similar to the Jurassic World VelociCoaster located over at Universal Islands of Adventure. It uses lap bars instead of the over the shoulder restraints. There is a height requirement for this ride. The ride supports multiple queue options. There is a single rider line and you can use the Universal Express system for this ride as well! Because of it's dual track design and high capacity, it's one of the more efficient rides inside Epic Universe. There are two tracks, green and yellow and both are completely unique experiences. The green track is slightly more intense. The ride during the evening is beautiful. You get to see the entire park at night with all of the wonderful lights. If you like rollercoasters, I'd recommend trying out the Stardust Racers at Epic Universe during your visit!

    So many reasons this will always be BAE! it's right next to the GOOD bathrooms, right next to the cold stations. Eats up so many people at a time that there's never a long wait, and baby when I say it goes I mean it GOES! Now idk if Amanda with the green hair HAD to tap my husband's nuts with the safety bar or if she just enjoyed it. Either way. I'm never letting STARDUST RACER go!

    Universals Silver Medalist on my list! Next to Velocicoaster in Island Adventure. The stardust racer lives up to its name. Like speeding thru at 62mph (compared to Velocicoaster 70mph). I would ride this over and over if we had time. The Velocicoaster was my gold medalist from the parks. Both rides gave me a big grin on my face when we got off. This has one inversion, two tracks. As the lady informed me we got onto the more "intense" track which I'm happy for! Beautiful theming, beautiful ride, A+

    Wow! Stardust Racers is one of my favorite rides (second to Velocicoaster in Island of Adventure) that Universal has to offer! It's in Universal's newest park: Epic Universe & this is the perfect coaster for anyone who likes intense, thrilling coasters! There are two separate tracks: yellow + green & we rode on the green track. Apparently, the green track has been said to be more intense, whereas the yellow track is a milder ride. Compared to the Velocicoaster, I would say the Velocicoaster is definitely a smoother ride & less "scary" because of that, at least for me. Stardust Racers goes at a slightly slower speed (62mph vs 70mph) & has only 1 inversion, but is more airtime-heavy! Still, a super fun ride but I think I can only endure riding it once each visit due to how intense it is, as opposed to when I get off Velocicoaster, I want to ride it a couple more times because it's literally such a smooth ride lol.

    BEST. RIDE. AT. EPIC. By far!!!! Stardust Racers is an out-of-this-world, high flying adrenaline rush of a roller coaster! If you even slightly enjoy a good roller coaster this is a MUST try. We went in a preview day so they only had one side running- but this is a roller coaster that has 2 separate tracks that run at the same time, reminiscent of the old dueling dragons coaster that used to be in Harry Potter world at Islands of Adventure (IYKYK). I am so happy they brought back a "dueling" type coaster. I can only imagine the fun it'll be once both sides are up and running. Everything about this coaster is truly epic (yes, pun intended). It is high-velocity without being too rough. and giving you whiplash, it goes upside down but in a way that's easier to handle, it has a couple acceleration parts, and all good fun that makes your eyes water, hair get messed up, and leaves a big grin on your face by the end. Seriously, standing in line every time a car came back after riding all the riders were in such high spirits and so happy. When you get into line, bring your backpacks and stuff with you- like the Velocicoaster in Islands of Adventure, they have lockers in the queue that you set your stuff in. And, they used facial recognition so you don't even have to worry about keeping your pass with you. After that, you do have to go through a metal detector as well just as an extra precaution. I have heard that each track of this coaster is slightly different, so it will be so fun to try out both sides, and definitely something you want to keep in mind when coming to ride! You're missing out if you don't become a Stardust Racer!

Universal addresses both of these goals in a spectacular fashion! Service staff is fantastic and the ride lines go quickly. For several years I've decided to skip some of the competition in the areas and solely visit the Universal Parks. Rides for both kids and adults make for an unforgettable day. If you are a Harry Potter fan then this is definitely the place for you! So much detail in every area. You are so literally transported to another world. If you purchase a wand for your child, they can explore and practice their spell casting! Don't forget your Butterbeer! And watch out for dragons and witches and goblins and secret passages. Enjoy!

If you're visiting during a busy season, I highly recommend purchasing an Express Pass--it will save you a lot of time. Also, wear comfortable walking shoes because you'll be on your feet all day. For lunch, don't miss Thunder Falls Terrace. It offers generous portions, good quality food, and excellent value compared to many other restaurants inside the park. I visited with my best friend, and we had an amazing time. If you love adrenaline and roller coasters, this park is a must-visit!

We first started doing this in magical midway, but when that felt too rickety and unsafe, we started looking for other parks, and that's when we found fun spot!

It's been a while since we've gone, but it would definitely be another fun trip with nostalgia .

I had heard from locals that it's a great local option over the big theme parks. Fun Spot was pretty great, for what it was. Free parking, free admission if you don't plan on riding rides, also a discounted adult pass if you only are going on rides with your kid who is too young to ride alone. The whole place was small, maybe the area of a handful of city blocks. And on the Sunday afternoon when we went, the place was quiet enough that we never waited more than a few minutes to get onto a ride. As we were only there for a couple hours, the cashier recommended the 4 ride pass for my kids, and the companion pass for me. But if one were to spend more hours there, buying the day pass online for $59.95 is quite a bargain. Not all rides were open, but the "big" rides that most kids want (the roller coasters and the go carts) were open. My daughter, who is not a big roller coaster fan, had a harder time finding kiddie rides that she actually wanted to go on, and she watched the go carts and didn't even want to try those with me driving. However, the place was small enough that I felt fine leaving my 10 year old son to go on rides by himself while I went on the Ferris wheel or the merry go round with my 8 year old. There are a bunch of food options available throughout the park. They were definitely more affordable than Disney prices! Most of the places offered souvenir cups with discounted refills, but there were also water stations set up throughout with free cups. I'd definitely come back if I had a few hours to burn and the kids didn't want to go swimming. Hopefully at some point, my daughter will change her mind about roller coasters, though!

We had a beautiful day to visit and smiled throughout the day. Some of our best moments were walking through the various city streets and seeing musical performances and dancing. The walkways were wide and we were never on top of other guests. Most rides had reasonable wait times and/or offered single rider options. The locker areas for cramped, but I appreciated how many of the wait queues were indoors, keeping us cooler and away from the rain. The Harry Potter sections were amazing, just amazing. I couldn't have imagined how it would have felt being in the middle of the space. Restaurants, both sit down and quick service, were scattered throughout the park. I loved that we didn't have to worry plan in advance to get a spot at either. My only downside to Universal Studios is that some of the themes felt outdated or just aren't favorite characters of mine.

    This was my very first time visiting Icon Park, and I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised…read more The first thing I appreciated was the parking. They have a convenient parking garage where the first three floors are paid parking, while the fourth floor and above are free. That was a nice bonus and made getting there easy. I was actually on my way to a restaurant, so exploring the park wasn't part of the plan. But once I walked inside, I couldn't help but look around. There were restaurants, food vendors, candy shops, drink stands, and so much more. The atmosphere was lively, fun, and full of energy. It looked like the perfect place for families, couples, or anyone just looking to spend a few hours enjoying themselves. This is a short review because I didn't get the chance to experience everything Icon Park has to offer. However, based on my first impression alone, I can definitely say I'll be back. It was filled with excitement for both children and adults, and I'm looking forward to exploring it even more on my next visit.

    Overall, I think this is a great place to check out if you are in Orlando…read more We came here because we have Legoland gold passes which means we get free admission to sea life, Madame Tussaud's, and the Orlando Eye. All three of these together took up about two hours and then we were able to go to Cafe tu tu tango to get a bite to eat. This was a great half day experience while we were visiting Orlando. There was a parking garage and parking was super easy. By that time we left around 8:30 PM there were so many cars, but when we first got there at about 5 PM there were tons of spots. They do have parking spots you can pay for in the lower levels so it seems like if you're willing to pay there will always be parking. If you want free parking, you need to go earlier because this seems to be popular for nightlife. I always appreciate when there's so many attractions together that you can walk to. This place has quite a few restaurants, some shops and the attractions all in a contained area. It was very clean and when we came, there was a huge police presence, because apparently a couple weeks before there was hundreds of teenagers that descended to the area and fought. So the place was doing a really good job making sure that everything was safe. This is a place for both families and non-families alike.

Its sole ride, Escape from Gringotts I gave two stars as I found it very lackluster compared to the two Potter themed thrill rides over at Islands of Adventure. But the theming in this section of the park is absolutely phenomenal and highly immersive enough to make this an easy 4 stars. The Knight Bus was fun enough for both my sister and I to get pictures by it with its friendly steward and his appropriate accent. I missed the low key entrance on our first go round. As I said I watched the movies in a cloud of smoke and didn't realize it was this secret fandom entrance/exit but the throngs passing through tipped us off. The greater density with everything packed so tightly together and its separation from the other themed areas of Universal Studios Florida makes this Potter themed area more impressive than its counterpart over at Islands of Adventure- even without a magnificent castle. The alleys, the shops, the hand painted signage, the dragon perched high shooting out that massive flame... I can only imagine how hard this hits if you're a Potter fanatic. And though Escape from Gringotts was pretty weak sauce in my estimation the queue and the theming before the ride experience was top notch. They really broke the bank on this, as with the great train ride in. Maybe if I ever go back I'll watch a Potter movie or two sober.

I walked through the warp pipe entrance and into the land, and that was a genuine moment. The colors, sounds, and scale of everything around me hit immediately in a way that was hard to prepare for even though I knew what to expect. The attention to detail was remarkable, and the music threading through the entire area kept the immersion intact as I moved from one section to the next. Donkey Kong Mine Cart Madness is the ride to prioritize and the one that generates the most excitement in the land. I arrived at park open and went straight here, which was the right strategy as the wait times built quickly. Mario Kart is the other major attraction and delivers on the concept, with the Power Up Band integration adding a competitive layer that makes it more than just a passive ride experience. The Power Up Band is worth purchasing before entering the park if I want the full experience. It unlocks interactive elements and mini games scattered throughout the land that let me collect coins, hit question blocks, and track my score on the app. Without it I could still enjoy the rides and the theming, but a meaningful portion of what makes the land special is tied to having one. At around fifty dollars it is an added cost on top of an already expensive day, but for a Nintendo fan it justifies itself quickly. Weekday visits made a noticeable difference in wait times and gave me more room to engage with the interactive elements without feeling rushed. The land rewards people who slow down and explore rather than just moving through it as efficiently as possible, and there is enough packed into the space that I could spend a solid chunk of the day here without feeling like I had exhausted it.
