I have nostalgia for this coaster. It was one of my first Arrow Dynamics custom loopers I've been on many years ago. The interlocking loops is still imo one of the best parts of this ride even to this day. I'm glad to see this ride still in operation
This coaster should be given the title of historical landmark. I rode it 40 years ago as a child and I was terrified of it, I was in awe standing so close to the first drop on that walkway. I fell in love with coasters after riding it.
I don't remember if it's near the entrance of the ride, or on the boardwalk below, but there is a metal plaque designating the Loch Ness Monster as an ACE roller coaster landmark.
@@pankajjha5057 Yep. He said “No visit to Busch Gardens is complete without a ride on Nessie” which is another way of saying a visit to BGW is incomplete if you don’t go on Nessie
I went on this thing for the first time back in August 2019 in an effort to overcome my fear of roller coasters and came off very impressed with how smooth it really is for an Arrow looping coaster; by far one of Arrow’s best looping coasters yet. The first drop however scared the living shit out of me because of the speed at which you go down it. This thing holds my personal record for the tallest and fastest roller coaster I’ve ever been on believe it or not
1:10 I remember riding Loch Ness on its first season in 79. When you got to the top of the lift hill, you felt like you were surfin on the tree tops! Good to see nothing has changed!
This is a great ride and arguably one of the best and most unique coasters made by Arrow Development! I bet it’ll be even better after they’ve finished replacing the tracks next spring!
I rode this for the first time back in August 2019 in an effort to overcome my fear of coasters and let me tell you, the first drop scared the living shit out of me because of how fast you go down it, you really pick up some serious speed going down that first drop and it was so intense for me to the point where I actually grayed out at the bottom of it. I will say this thing is one of Arrow’s best looping coasters if not their best and I can definitely see why so many people still love it and ride it today. I have a friend who works at Busch Gardens Williamsburg as a tour guide and he says that their maintenance team does a FANTASTIC job maintaining this ride and all the other rides in the park. Now I know some of you may be wondering why the coaster doesn’t have the trains going through the loops at the same time and I’m actually wondering the exact same thing although I’m sure there’s a reason behind it. I’m certain that Nessie was originally programmed to have the trains running through the loops simultaneously and while I have seen recent videos of the ride testing with the trains running through the loops simultaneously, there’s definitely a reason why they don’t do it when running normally with riders but who knows what it is
First rode The Loch Ness Monster back in '78 on the way back from our cousin Joan's wedding. I was a 3rd grader back then and my older brothers were absolutely NOT gonna give me a pass, no friggin' way. But once the ice was broken on that first ride we were on it like fleas on a dog! Thanks for the video and the memories my friend, Semper Fidelis.
First looping coaster I was ever on. Swore the whole way up the hill cause I was trying to get over my fear of roller coasters. Went right back on it after my first ride.
This was my first real coaster! I was a super short kid so I couldn't ride Big Bad Wolf before they tore it down in '09. 48" is all you need for the ride of a lifetime.
I just went to Busch gardens yesterday and I love Loch Ness monster griffon alpengeist and Apollo’s chariot I recommend these rides if you love roller coasters
Honestly i'd probably enjoy this ride if the first time I rode ot my dad didnt lie to me and say there were no loops and then the second (and last so far) time i rode it, he lied to me again and said they'd taken the loops out For clarification i was around seven at the time lol I hope to ride it again someday, though
I didn't ride the old coaster, rode it for the very first time yesterday so I came here looking for a video of the old version, I think the corkscrew tunnel is also different unless this camera just didn't pick up the screens that looked like underwater portholes + the tunnel has sounds now
Yeah Mach Tower from what I’ve heard suffered from numerous issues throughout its lifetime not to mention that it suffered from a lot of downtime. I’ve never ridden it since I absolutely hate drop towers in general but yeah
I'm not a big coaster person but this ride was so smooth! Apollo's Chariot was rough for me but was considered a more beginner coaster so I rode on that one first, I came off of the chariot with a headache because of how much it threw me around. Loch Ness Monster was a treat to go on, and the new narration is fun and makes it easier to find since the park has such poor signage
During the time this was built, Arrow Dynamics didn't always predict speed correctly when taking into account friction and wind resistance. It was common for the train to travel to fast and be too forceful for riders at times, which made sense, since there were no computers to build rides like this in the 1970s. Today, especially going into the first loop, those trims controlled by the ride's computer will slow the train enough to monitor the speed and to make sure that the train can travel through the loop.
@@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan Daemon at Great America is a great example of Arrow with no trim brakes. If you're not prepared for it, your head will be in your lap.
@Tony Kim - Hello Tony, Great comment. Thankyou. I didn't know that about Arrow. Your comment about the lack of computers on the coasters back in the 70s makes very much sense. That is when i was growing up, or at least trying to, lol. Im still trying to. Haaaa haaa. I wanted to ask you, what did Arrow specialize in, since it wasn't about the speed? I was thinking maybe it is the comfort and the styles of their coasters. The train on this coaster rides nice and smooth, making the ride more enjoyable. It even rides smooth thru the layout and in the turns. It's even very smooth while riding through the loops. This coaster has a very cool track layout that they built. Nothing to fancy or crazy. It's just a great ride from beginning to end. I usually get nausiated when i go upside-down. I dont ride many coasters today. Im older, w back and knee pains. I always preferred the wooden coasters. They did beat me up, but i still had more fun on them. I haven't been to Busch Gardens in florida and virginia in many, many yrs. I think i was last at virginia. I've been their 2x and once in Tampa. Fl. I always loved riding this coaster. Have a blessed and safe 2023. Glen Ps. I live in Pgh, Pa. KENNYWOOD is my home park. It's only 45 min from me. Have you ever been there? If not, try to go. It is a great park. I haven't been their in a long time, with working and keeping too busy. They have made many changes to it over the years. I know it is expensive. Someone just told me a few weeks ago that it cost 45.00 just to walk in the park. It used to be free. Then you could buy tickets for whatever ride you wanted to go on. They had a one price deal. Pay one price, and ride all day/ nite. Then that price went up to ride all day. If you didn't want to ride all day, you could pay a small price just to walk in. But, now, i dont know how much it is to go in and to ride all day. The wooden coasters are fantastic. I haven't gone to ride the Steelers coaster. I dont know if i would or not. Take care.
@idkwhattoputhere Hey, thank you so much for that info. YOU ROCK. It was so awesome that you told me all of that valuable information. I appreciate you. I enjoyed reading everything that you told me. I honestly dont think i have any more particular questions . I was only asking Tony earlier about Arrow because of the help that Tony had provided, and Arrow was mentioned, and that is why and how i thought to ask what Arrow was known for in their coasters. I have heard of Arrow, RMC, and a few other coaster builders. You provided enough info to help me understand how awesome they are / were. You said Arrow was so very inventive. I agree with everything that you told me, lol. By watching the Lochness monster on the TH-cam video, the ride then even felt very smooth to me on the screen. Lol. I always thought that the coaster type rides in Disney World in Fla. all rode very nice and smooth. I loved those rides. You mentioned they built the Steel Phantom at Kennywood.

I just Googled it, and it says that in 2001, Morgan modified and renovated steel phantom, which is now the phantoms Revenge. They used the same load station and lift hill that Arrow built . It changed at the first down hill track. They changed the hill, made it steeper, and changed the track layout. It goes a little faster than the steel phantom went. I like riding that coaster. It's fast and smooth. Is ARROW still in business? Is Morgan still in business? Im thinking that Morgan became RMC. is that correct? Thank you, Glen
@idkwhattoputhere - You know your coasters. Im very impressed. Thanks for your help. I honestly had no idea about the companies and who bought who and who owns who. You brought back my memory when you told me the German co made laser loop. I remember their name on the laser loop sign. Thanks much. So, you dont think that Arrow is smooth? I trust your words and opinions. I haven't rode a roller coaster for many yrs. I was working all day, and on saturdays When i had a day off, i was either hurting or at an apt. Lately, i haven't had the money to go away. I hope some day to get a life. Lol. I have heard of the new texas Giant, that RMC renovated. So, is Arrow loopers a new company? You never mentioned them. Im sorry if i mis read anything about them. I think you are saying that maybe their coasters aren't as smooth as to what ARROW used to build. Nothing is as good as what they used to be. Lol. I heard of RMC because they invented that new kind of track covering. Is that right? I didn't know if they built coasters or just the special track. I think i read that RMC retracks wooden coasters. Im not sure if i know what the heck im saying, haaaa. i forgot the name, but what are the coaster builders' names from OHIO? I know their is a coaster builder near PA. Is it OHIO?

I’m visiting Busch gardens today I really wanna get into coasters but I’m terrified mainly because of the drop feeling in my stomach. The only ride I’ve been on is hagrids at universal studios and it wasn’t too bad for me please someone be hinest and tell me how this is❤
Actually no it’s not. I rode this once back in 2019 and I can tell you from experience that this ride is not very rough at all, yes you do get some tiny bumps here and there but they are the rather “loving” kind of bumps which is expected out of a vintage coaster like this one. Whoever said that about this coaster is just downright wrong and let me be real here, this coaster’s ridership is still high today and if it really was really rough, it would not have many riders today and it probably would not be loved anymore not to mention the fact that it’s still loved by so many today
In my opinion it's rough, but I have problems with my neck so I can't tolerate rollercoasters like I once could. Personally, the roughest ride is in the back, so you may want to try riding closer to the front. The restraints don't help much with comfort either, but they're old so I don't expect them to be the best. The opinions on the roughness of Loch Ness seem to differ a lot. If you're concerned, maybe save this one for later in your visit, that way if you do find it rough, you'll have gotten to enjoy the larger and smoother rollercoasters first.
@@MackLee23 When I first rode this back in 2019, I was actually in one of the far back rows and still had a smooth ride. I will admit that I was expecting the roughness that Arrow coasters are known for which you did talk about but thankfully that wasn’t the case. The worst part for me personally was the first drop because of speed (not to mention that I almost closed my eyes because of how fast we were going). I rode it in an effort to overcome my fear of the big coasters and I have no regrets doing it 😊. There is absolutely no way that it would have so many riders today if it had a reputation as a rough ride and trust me, it doesn’t. I can totally see why so many people still go back to that ride and ride it today (just saying).
I know they brought at least some of that theming back for its 40th anniversary back in 2018 but I don’t know if it’s still there or not. I rode it for the first time back in 2019 and while I did have a nice smooth ride with the vintage and lovable kind of bumps here and there, I cannot seem to remember if I saw the effects in the tunnel or not
great memories was here on a band trip in junior high school met one of my 1st minor boyfriends who i often wonder about now that im 56yo....... where r u jon????..... u played drums i was majorette......

DAMN STRAIGHT!! ❤😍
@thekrookodilehunter7993yup! rode it the other day. It was cool, but not the most thrilling imo
@thekrookodilehunter7993yep and gonna be there for a long time they do a great job with its upkeep
It really is great how this Park is taking steps to preserve this magnificent ride, and I can’t wait to see how the refurbishments turn out in 2024.
I have so many fond memories of this coaster! I know it's old, but I pray they never tear it down

with it not taking up too prime realestate and the park still spending a lot in maintaining it i doubt it’s going anywhere in the next decade
They are refurbishing it next year!
it’s refurbished and very smooth now ‼️
@@venus4560 That's awesome!
My first ever upside down roller coaster in my life! Awesome memories of this ride!
Same
Same
Me too!
Me too and it was fun!

This was the first ride I ever rode, what a classic
i rode it when i was 6 or 7. the loops scared the 💩out of me but it was fun.
Thanks for the great video! It brings back a lot of memories. I worked on The Loch Ness Monster in the summer of 1985!

Next time you're there, ride Verbolten, Griffin, and Le Scoot (this one terrified me the back when the saw worked)
They had too many issues with people not keeping their hands in the cars. Hi fives & other incidents stopped the simultaneous loops!

This entire park is such a nostalgia
Amazing footage yet again from CoasterForce, these guys never miss a shot..
This rollercoaster at night goes crazyyyyy! Loved it
Rode this at night time as a little boy and it was incredible. My favorite ride there for sure
The first coaster I ever went on! I almost chickened out but thankfully my dad pretended he didn’t hear and shuffled me into the queue.
First looping coaster I was ever on. Swore the whole way up the hill cause I was trying to get over my fear of roller coasters. Went right back on it after my first ride.

Definitely my favorite ❤️
This was my first real coaster! I was a super short kid so I couldn't ride Big Bad Wolf before they tore it down in '09. 48" is all you need for the ride of a lifetime.
I was on this thing today, and it had the honor of being my first roller coaster in over a decade.
Bro this was my first loop roller coaster and I passed out but redeemed myself and now it’s my favorite ride ever ❤️❤️
this roller coaster is really fun! i would recomend it for people over 7 years old, but it is great.
That first drop 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I went on that yesterday and was rlly fun
So... you've nailed it! 🥰👌🏼 a beautiful video for a beautiful steel! 💙👌🏼 O.O.K
I just went to Busch gardens yesterday and I love Loch Ness monster griffon alpengeist and Apollo’s chariot I recommend these rides if you love roller coasters
went on my first band trip here and held my partners hand the entire ride. really fun coaster though
I'm forcing myself to ride this thing this summer. wish me luck. YOLO, y'all.
@Miaslayz301 I was nervous at first but it was so much fun! im definitely coming back:)
@Miaslayz301 Nice! I hope you have a lot of fun!
One of my favorites!!!
Live extremely close to bgw and every trip with the fellas starts and ends with loch ness
I love this ride
Honestly i'd probably enjoy this ride if the first time I rode ot my dad didnt lie to me and say there were no loops and then the second (and last so far) time i rode it, he lied to me again and said they'd taken the loops out
For clarification i was around seven at the time lol
I hope to ride it again someday, though
They actually redid the ride so now it’s a whole lot more smooth and there is a Scottish person telling you about a little about your story
I didn't ride the old coaster, rode it for the very first time yesterday so I came here looking for a video of the old version, I think the corkscrew tunnel is also different unless this camera just didn't pick up the screens that looked like underwater portholes + the tunnel has sounds now
At 1:21 the tower at the left is no longer there Rip Mach Tower may the tower that replaced it be better
Yeah Mach Tower from what I’ve heard suffered from numerous issues throughout its lifetime not to mention that it suffered from a lot of downtime. I’ve never ridden it since I absolutely hate drop towers in general but yeah
loved it.
Never ridden it but boy I'd like to. Looks like it has charm to spare.
I'm not a big coaster person but this ride was so smooth! Apollo's Chariot was rough for me but was considered a more beginner coaster so I rode on that one first, I came off of the chariot with a headache because of how much it threw me around.

I always like to stand on the bridge on either side of the double loop and wave to the riders.
I honestly have no idea how this thing has enough speed to get over those loops

I’m visiting Busch gardens today I really wanna get into coasters but I’m terrified mainly because of the drop feeling in my stomach. The only ride I’ve been on is hagrids at universal studios and it wasn’t too bad for me please someone be hinest and tell me how this is❤
When you go in the dark tunnel it’s like you’re about to hit your head on the track on top of you.
At one time it had the highest drop in the world. That never lasts in the world of coasters
Yeah
My favorite coaster of all time and the heart and soul of Busch Garedens Williamsburg.❤
Bonus: The line is usually always short to ride this!
There was only 1 drop on this thing? Maybe that's how I was able to rode it as a kid lol
RODE THIS 14 TIMES IN ONE DAY WHEN i WAS 17 IN 1986

Does it go upside down in th tunnel??
No, it just loops around in the tunnel
i got stuck on this one time, it was crazy scary
When did this happen??
This was my first roller coaster I went Friday it was soo fun but I wa scared at first lol
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
i miss arrow dynamics
If you’ve gone to Busch Gardens Williamsburg and NOT ridden this ride you have not been to Busch Gardens.
Pretty tame
I remember going there when it opened. I think I still have the map somewhere.
do not reach out while in the tunnel...there VERY little clearance..
great memories was here on a band trip in junior high school met one of my 1st minor boyfriends who i often wonder about now that im 56yo....... where r u jon????..... u played drums i was majorette......
This was so cool, but I shouldn't have watched this immediately after I ate a big bowl of fish soup.
