Median posted wait per weekday. Medians, not averages, so one breakdown day does not move the number.

What the end of the day is worth

Curse of the Werewolf peaks around 2 PM at a median of 60 minutes. By 8 PM that median is 30 minutes, so riding late rather than at the peak has been worth about 30 minutes in line. Your own day can differ, and this is what the history showed.

How often it goes down

Curse of the Werewolf was reported temporarily down in about 11.1% of the checks taken while it was scheduled to be running, across the last 90 days. Build a little slack into the day around it.

Measured against the checks taken while the ride was scheduled to be running, not against every check. More than half of all readings on any ride are taken overnight while the park is closed.

Based on 5,296 readings taken while Curse of the Werewolf was operating, 2026-07-29 to 2026-10-26, America/New_York. How we measure
