As with any kind of rumour, this information should be considered unofficial until Universal Orlando officially confirms.
According to an X post by Orlando theme park enthusiast Scott Walker, the name of Starfall Racers at Universal’s Epic Universe has changed name to Stardust Racers. You can read Walker’s post below:

According to X user @wallin_ballin, there are currently two separate enforcement disputes involving “Universal’s Starfall Racers roller coaster trademark.” You can read their post below:
“Trademark Litigation Update: There are currently two separate enforcement disputes involving Universal’s Starfall Racers roller coaster trademark. One is taking place before the US patent and trademark office, and Universals deadline to respond to the opposition [was] May 14th].
The other is taking place in federal district court in Colorado, and Universal currently has 17 more days to respond, but I’d expect an extension to be filed. As an attorney, I’ll try to keep people updated on these two disputes, as I’m sure there’s going to be a lot of confused information circling from those who don’t understand the processes involved.”
It’s fair to suggest that we’ll be following @wallin_ballin’s post, stay tuned for further updates regarding the two disputes. We can assume that this is the reason why the name of the upcoming Epic Universe roller coaster has been changed.
It’s also worth pointing out that the webpage for Starfall Racers on the Universal Orlando website is currently unavailable. Stay tuned for possible updates.
Once again, as with any kind of rumour, this information should be considered unofficial until Universal Orlando officially confirms.
Update: The webpage for Starfall Racers is back online with its new name Stardust Racers.
Stay tuned to Orlando Theme Park Zone for more Orlando theme park-related news and information.
