Well this is intresting

I was like four parties back in line when this happened, immensely disappointing. But they gave me a comped return ticket for the trouble. Only problem is, you know, getting back to Orlando from where I live 700 miles away

I knew this was going to be great based on the reception it's gotten, but that night ride... wow. Best two coasters in the country for me. Masterpiece from Mack Rides and Universal.

Agreed, we flew into Tampa this past weekend to get our Iron Gwazi fix before heading to Orlando. Stardust easily tops that ride with the dual track inversions. Rode green during the day and yellow at night when the temps dropped to 50. So cold but so worth it

Veloci > Stardust Yellow > Stardust Green > Iron Gwazi

i should say.. im not absolutely floored by stardust. i honestly prefer copperhead strike. stardust yellow is 25/285 for me and green is 26. copperhead is 24/285

Veloci > Stardust Yellow > Stardust Green > Iron Gwazi

This is my ranking between the three rides as well.

Stardust had me with its Back To The Future tribute before I even got on. Good thing it's a fabulous ride or else I'd feel conflicted...

Yellow was closed the two days I went this week.

So uh, what the hell is going on with this ride…

 

[GAcoaster]

It's closed to install the "big boy" seats among other things.

I missed it by a week

I feel your pain. I missed Eejenaika last summer when it was down

 

[TheCoasterNerd]

Believe me I REALLY feel your pain. I was at the park the day it valleyed. I was in line when the ride went down for the wind and then as they were testing it to reopen it valleyed

Could be worse, my brother visited Fuji Q Highland for the first time about a month after Do-Dodonpa closed “for maintenance.”

I missed this by a day. I was at Epic Universe both 3/23 and 3/24. I saw it testing the green side throughout the day on the 24th, then. later that evening though the night it was testing nonstop both sides. I could faintly see the coaster trains with their lights on from my hotel room when I was at Universal at night. Was very neat to see this.

I also watched this but assumed I would get flamed for bringing up this incident. The comments very much reflect a consensus on this issue, even if commenters on bodycam videos tend to skew right-wing.

I think I read somewhere that Epic's new policy is to require riders on Stardust to be ambulatory. Has anything else changed? Increased signage?

I think I read somewhere that Epic's Universal’s new policy is to require riders on Stardust to be ambulatory.

This policy has also gone into effect on:
Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment
Harry Potter and The Forbidden Journey
Jurassic World Velocicoaster
Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure
