  1 - Constellation Carousel A-Ticket Any Height Guests can take a ride on constellation-themed Gondolas and move around spinning circles in this seaglass carousel. 2 - Stardust Racers E-Ticket Must be 48 in. Guests take a ride on these dueling coasters with two launches, several ups and downs, and a flip over the other track known as the "Celestial Spin." This ride features two tracks that move alongside each other, and since the tracks don't light up at night (although the vehicles do), it looks like they are shooting stars moving through the sky. Guests will be required to put their belongings in a locker, but they are built into the queue. An on-ride photo will be taken as well.

Celestial Gardens: An Introduction

Image
  OVERVIEW: When guests first come to the park, they will enter through the Celestrium, a device that harnesses the energy of the cosmos to create portals to different worlds. As they go through, they enter a world between worlds of sorts, known as Celestial Gardens. This is a lot like Celestial Park at Universal Epic Universe, but with a more European feel. As guests make their way through the gardens, they can see many sights, such as the hotel in the back of the park. They can also find several rides, restaurants, shops, and other things to immerse them in this otherworldly environment. They can even see the elegantly-decorated portals in front of all of the areas, beckoning for them to come in and explore. So what are you waiting for? Let's go in and begin our journey.

In the back of the park is the Grand Celestial Hotel, where guests can stay on property. Branching out from here are several other worlds.
