What riders love
  • But it's a super fun spinner that can be completely out of control.
  • It was actually surprisingly fun. We rode every other coaster besides stardust before this and still had a great time!
  • This ride doesn't deserve the criticism it gets, as it's genuinely an enjoyable roller coaster.
  • I love spinners, and this one was smooth.
  • The ride itself is fun, starting with a spinning launch that has a bit of power and the elements are floaty and the layout is smooth.
  • I didn't know much about this ride, and so the launch and backwards section caught me by surprise!
  • I think the launches make this better than most family spinning coasters.
  • Fun spinner with a solid launch mid-course.

Performance

Vs. other coasters at Universal Epic Universe

The ride itself is fun, starting with a spinning launch that has a bit of power and the elements are floaty and the layout is smooth.

GLaDOS

The lack of airtime and any other remarkable elements keeps it lower.

Bolton Lawless

The ride is smooth and pretty fun because of the nice launches, but the layout is way too short and not so forceful.

Alec Mr Coaster

I love spinners, and this one was smooth.

Greg

It had a pretty fun layout, and it was uniquely smooth for a Universal coaster.

Ryan Armstrong

While the ride is smooth and the second half of the coaster layout is fun and dynamic, the theming is at such a jarringly low standard compared to the rest of the park, lacking even a single animated...

Ethan S.

It’s a smooth LSM launched coaster that hits a top speed of 37 mph without any inversions.

Ayren The Coaster Nerd

The pacing is safe, the track layout is smooth, it’s very approachable, which is great if you’re newer to coasters or stepping up from the dark rides and moving up before a coaster like Stardust...

Coaster Roo

Suprisingly intense for a coaster with such a small footprint.

Alexia Englund

However, whilst fun, Curse of the Werewolf is devoid of any real force: most of the fun comes from the spinning and launches.

GLaDOS

They’re probably happy with the mild spinning that this coaster currently exists with because it is a smaller scale family coaster.

themeparknerd

This ride is quite short with a few dead spots though.

Alston White

I think this is underrated, and sure, I rode this in the morning when it was walk-on, but I genuinely had a lot of fun :D

spkybto

It’s a fun family spinning launch coaster with great theming and a swing launch but can get some long lines good one to ride at night bc of werewolf theme

Hangtime and Hills

Capacity is low so the queue moves snail slow.

While the ride is smooth and the second half of the coaster layout is fun and dynamic, the theming is at such a jarringly low standard compared to the rest of the park, lacking even a single animated figure.

Ethan S., Captain Coaster review

I was expecting a very solid spinner but it fell flat and didn’t really do anything for me.

Gwazi Three Two Five, Captain Coaster review

Even though it’s a filler ride, and the theming in the station is next to none, the ride provides a fun and exciting experience for the whole family.

Liam Dodds, Captain Coaster review

But, after all of that, it was my turn to ride, and I have got to say that I was pleasantly surprised, because not only was the launch deceivingly punchy, but the entire thing was a ton of fun.

roller rider, Captain Coaster review

It’s got a fun spin to it and is a really good family coaster, especially if you don’t like the stomach dropping feeling because this ride has none.

Bolton Lawless, Captain Coaster review

As for the ride itself, it’s pretty fun for the extremely short period of time you’re actually on it.

ansilv, Captain Coaster review
