Exterior

Entrance

A roller coaster track from Curse of the Werewolf, with protective netting, curves above trees and a wooden building under a clear blue sky.

The roller-coaster is almost entirely outdoors, with the black track crossing over pathways. There are nets around the tracks.

Dark wooden building with a steep, shingled roof and tall chimneys stands near the Curse of the Werewolf roller coaster supports; a few people gather outside amid lush greenery.

During the ride, guests travel through a decrepit barn.

A sign reads "Are You Cursed? Ask Maleun, Wolf-Seer for the Guild of Mystics," featuring a mystical character who may hold answers to the Curse of the Werewolf in this fantasy setting.

A sign outside the ride’s entrance reads, “Are you cursed? Ask Maleva Wolf-Seer for the Guild of Mystics.”

Guests stand near the entrance of the elaborately decorated outdoor attraction, Curse of the Werewolf, featuring a wagon-themed structure and a sign displaying ride information. Trees and flags are visible in the background.

The queue is the Guild of Mystics camp, with two wagons framing the entrance. To the right is the height requirement post and a warning sign, which also displays the wait time.

At night, lights on the wagons illuminate, adding to the spooky atmosphere.

A wooden wagon with a large sculpted werewolf and a sign reading “Curse of the Werewolf” stands surrounded by lush greenery beneath a clear blue sky, evoking the eerie legend of the Curse of the Werewolf.

The wagon on the left features a Curse of the Werewolf sign with a detailed sculpture of a wolf.

A large "Curse of the Werewolf" statue stands on a rustic building façade, clutching a glowing orb, surrounded by lush plants and lanterns that enhance its haunting presence.

Its mouth is open in a growl, and it clutches a large moonstone between its claws.

A wooden carnival-style building lit by lanterns at night features a glowing "Curse of the Werewolf" sign, nestled among lush greenery and trees.

At night, the wolf’s eyes, the ride name, and the moonstone glow.

A wheelchair-accessible ride vehicle for Curse of the Werewolf sits outside, equipped with a red transfer seat and designed to resemble a vintage carriage, next to a wooden and stone structure with greenery nearby.

There is a test seat under the wagon’s red awning. Here, guests can test the ride’s restraints.

Entrance to the Curse of the Werewolf ride with two marked lanes: “Standby Entrance” and “Lightning Lane Entrance.” Trees and decorative elements surround the pathway for a mystical experience.

There is a standby queue, a single rider queue, and a Universal Express Pass queue.

A wooden wagon decorated with lanterns and flags is set among plants, with a person in uniform standing near the entrance under a red awning, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of Curse of the Werewolf.

Guests pass under an awning on the back of a wagon.

Queue

Outdoor Queue

The queue is mostly outdoors, surrounded by trees and shrubbery. Among the plants are banners that together read, “Even one who is pure of heart may become a wolf when the wolfsbane blooms and the moon is full and bright.”

A round table with a colorful cloth and tarot cards sits in front of a six-panel, blue and purple folding screen adorned with stars, sheriff badges, and hints of the Curse of the Werewolf. A lantern glows on the table.

A fortune teller’s table sits in front of a painted partition. Three silver moon and star decorations are on the partition, with large gems in their center.

A round table with a patterned cloth is set with tarot cards, two lanterns, a mortar and pestle, and a folding wooden chair beside it—ready for a reading about the Curse of the Werewolf under a starry backdrop.

On the table are tarot cards. The visible cards are The Beast, The Flower, The Mystic, The Moon, The Mark, The Carriage, and Strength.

Load Area

A wooden test seat with restraints and a Curse of the Werewolf hippo emblem is located near the ride queue, accompanied by a sign instructing guests to test the seat before riding.

Another test seat is in the loading area. The ride vehicles resemble wooden carriages with wolf medallions on their sides.

A wooden ceiling with a large jagged hole revealing the sky and sun, a hanging lantern, and unlit candles on a nearby beam—an eerie scene worthy of Curse of the Werewolf.

A full moon peeks through the broken roof of the load building.

Wood-paneled wall with two round animal emblems, glowing lanterns, and rows of empty dark ride seats set for the Curse of the Werewolf.

There are more colorful wolf medallions on the walls. Like those on the vehicles, they depict wolves running in front of stars. The edges of the medallion represent the ride’s spinning vehicles.

Ride Experience

A decorated booth features a large sign reading "BEWARE OF THE MOON," hinting at the Curse of the Werewolf, with a wolf and snarling creature surrounded by trunks, barrels, lanterns, and a person in fantasy costume.

The coaster takes guests into the wilderness as they are chased by wolves. For most of the coaster, you can hear wolves running and growling. When you move through the barn, they surround you, but they’re difficult to see in the daylight. Stay tuned for our night POV.

The ride ends with guests coming face to face with an accusatory Maleva ominously pointing at guests alongside a large tapestry reading, “Beware of the moon.”
