Starfall Racers
On this dual-launch coaster, guests will be riding on a ‘comet’ that goes at 62 mph and reaches a height of 133 feet. Most of the 1.8-mile track is a side-by-side race between two comets to see who gets to the end first.
At nighttime, the ride looks like shooting comets since it's covered with hundreds of points of light.
