I'm sorry, that looks absolutely terrible (from that vantage point, admittedly).

Agreed. Late addition = issues.

It’s a kennel, folks.

 

[rageofthegods]

Why do we need to run from the werewolf if it's already locked in a kennel? I would simply not get into the kennel with the werewolf.

Bit of a random question for anyone that might know about rules with character interactions. Let’s say I wanted to meet Frankenstein’s Monster and have him hold this sign for a picture. Would that be an issue?

They put a roller coaster in the werewolf kennel, what could go wrong? Heh!

A video of Igor saying that in the queue video would be hilarious.

I had planned to fully flesh this out and do the ground floor but I've lost interest and it's starting to feel too many spoilers this close to opening.

I can't remember if this was ever brought up or if it's even still a thing but the green room is mildy interesting.

Any idea on what type of ride movements would be new and “crazy”. Has anyone heard anything about what it could be?

As much as i don't personally mind it, i do find it funny. Cause i don't think it's going to look better in person either, probably worse in fact. lol

Who would've guessed that a spinning coaster might need nets to surround every turn to account for stuff maybe flying off of guests at every turn and that it would absolutely clash with whatever theming they had planned to install? Haha.... Hah....
The people who literally approved it and built it.

I obviously wasn't involved in the process, so I can only speculate, but I think this speaks to the coaster being a relatively late change in the plan, and needing to wedge this attraction into an area that had finite boundaries dictated by other things. Given a totally clean slate, I'd expect the coaster track would have been positioned much further from walkways, thereby not necessitating any intrusive net/fence barriers along the main artery of the land.

But these are the kinds of issues that made me very leery about the entire concept of this attraction in this land in the first place. I would have much rather had the indoor show (or an indoor coaster!), because even if that show turned out to be lackluster, at least we'd (presumably) have a thematically-appropriate building over there that looked neat.

As it is, I think what they've done to the coaster looks very tacky and cheap, and not befitting a world-class level of thematic design (which the rest of the land appears to achieve).

Need those single day tickets to come out so I can ride this before they ruin it.

 

[GAcoaster]

I have been told Curse is a lot of fun and not as spinny as I feared it might be

These Mack spinning coasters are not the spinning spewing machines people may expect. Their spin is a little less than controlled. They do not spin like a gerstlauer or maurer sohne. I think the netting is overkill but what do I know. . .

Can we expect any "weeder" in the queue? Basically, something to get people at risk of being too frightened to turn back?

 

[jarmor]

If i'm there, expect it to at least smell like a weed-er is in the queue lol lol. . .
