We wish we could say this is surprising news…but this just doesn’t shock us anymore!

Stardust Racers will then reopen on April 6th…at least, that’s the plan for now. This is now the third time this particular refurb has been extended. It was originally scheduled to end on February 22nd, then extended to the 28th, then into March, and now into April.

There hasn’t been any specific reason given for the extension. However, Stardust Racers has faced major issues since it opened with the park last year, including reports of injuries, lawsuits, and the highly publicized death of a guest last September. So, they’re going to make sure the ride is 100% ready before reopening it!

If you’re going to be traveling to Universal this spring, you might want to mark these dates down. We’re hoping Stardust Racers doesn’t get any more extended closures, but we’ll keep an eye out for any news. Make sure to stay tuned to AllEars so you don’t miss anything!
