I am glad this American icon gets to be enjoyed by many around the world for more decades to come. As soon as I can; I am going to ride Loch Ness again.
Good thing.
So awesome to see a classic Arrow classic being preserved. I mean, this baby is a real classic too. That screen in the triple helix tunnel was dope. Great stuff. I wish the other Seaworld and Busch parks were doing stuff like this.
that also means the headache. 😂
They should do this with Kraken ngl.
Getting Shrek to narrate the lift hill was a nice touch
Was that Mike Myers' voice? He also has done other Scottish-accented characters like Fat Bastard.
As with a lot of Scottish speakers...I think I got about fifty percent of that.
I like the new audio track they got on board and I like the destroyed car they have before the chain left! ❤
Was pretty bummed this was closed on my recent first time to BGW, but I'm glad its getting the love and refurb it definitely deserves! 👍 These old Arrows are becoming relics at this point, have to treasure them while they're still here! ❤️
The destroyed car reminds me of the destroyed sky buckets on the Matterhorn Bobsleds at Disneyland. Very nice touch there. Is there more to the special effects in the cave? sometimes it's hard to catch those things on camera and in person it's clearer like on Verbolten, but I couldn't see a lot in the video.
There might be more added later when it officially opens but that was the only theming elements in there. And yes you can see it better in person
I think it's randomized to. I've seen other povs where the monster doesn't leave the screen like it's following you out and from other comments. In this pov you get the rare Nessie is chasing you audio track where he says "go go go, she's after ya" same with the screen. I've seen other povs where she just tries to strike you in tunnel or just pops up into view
That's not a tunnel it's a pub. They are watching footie on the big screen... Original 10th anniversary effects were the best. Just some strobe, mist, and original head graphic to the left of the exit. This one will probably only be used for a year like the other anniversary themes and be left with just the statue.
@@kevinlc74 they spent a good bit of money on those screens. I think it'll be there to stay. It's a whole retheme. Not just a temporary thing
@@CarolinaCycloneJamestime will tell. The only part of the multiple rethemes that have lasted was the addition of the exploration items in the queue.
46 years old and still looks amazing. 1978. Love that classic Arrow lift hill sound. Glad they redid this coaster with new track and more effects. This was pre Arrow mega looper time period which basically started with Vortex at Kings Island in 1987.
It's still pretty much the same. Don't care much for the audio throughout except for in the tunnel, now that was cool and wished they'd have done that a long time ago.
They did a really nice job on this. Love the audio, the new theming, the fact work was done because someone actually cares about this awesome interlocking loop coaster (the drop is also underrated) with the crazy now actually themed again helix. Now I just hope maybe instead of that horrid "Drachen Spire' idea they maybe decide to give Pantheon's theming a desperate upgrade. They certainly don't need any new coasters anytime soon, a ride maybe sure namely a drop tower at some point in the next few years.
P.S. If ONLY other parks, the ones with more coasters BGW had b4 the multi-launch with a GCI in between, whom had many more coasters then, went for quality over quantity and took care of there older stuff properly. Also, sorry BGW your now guilty of the quantity thing with darkcastle-not a new 2.0 dark ride we all deserved but a coaster with insane wait times that's family.
OMG Pantheon's theming... They could've just put in some hedges and large statues. Anything.
That 400ft drop tower they removed from Icon in Orlando is for sale
Love the new tunnel but that loud talking over the loud speakers is really annoying. I wouldn't mind hearing some Scottish bagpipe music playing.
Love the rest of the ride but ngl I’m a little disappointed with the helix, I thought it was gonna have a lot more going on than just some screens lol. Was hoping for some strobes and a physical Loch Ness head at the end of the tunnel similar to the original, but hey it’s something at least.
NVM JUST FOUND OUT ITS NOT FINISHED YET
Have ridden this a number of times and I’m glad to see it restored. Icon!
Good for you.
@@elevatoralarmcoasterandarc1214Sarcast?
I personally don't see much difference.
that’s sorra the point it’s just to keep the coaster last longer and give simaler rides as it used to
I dig what they did in the tunnel. I don’t care for the hamfisted narrating. I’m glad this legendary coaster lives on.
So good to see this legendary coaster back in action
I still hate the loss of "The Big, Bad Wolf"
during hallow scream a few years back i rode the thing 15-20 times in a row. it was great
rode it today and ahh 🥹 amazing! hope this can be a start for future arrow refurbishment projects! 🙌🏼
So I'll be sure to ride this if I ever visit Busch Gardens. Too bad they no longer have the Big Bad Wolf.
Well there is a rumor that they might bring the big bag wolf back as a B&M family invert similar to Phoenix Rising at Busch Gardens Tampa
@@Elementalcoasters8695 wait. They would replace Verbolten with that or it would be at different place?
When I got on Loch Ness it started shaking and I tht something is wrong but it nothing😂
I liked this video and it turned to 800 likes
I’m glad they didn’t get ride of the cave
Very cool
They've got windows in the tunnel. Impressive.👍
A screen!
Question to everyone who has rode this,I have a big Fear of BIG coasters,how is this ride? I heard it's smooth and the only rides I will ride here is a wooden one and the dark koaster.
The first drop is not bad. It’s not intense at all… it’s just fun 😊
This was my favorite coaster 35 yrs ago - and I don't like big ones either. I did enjoy Alpengeist in 97 though I had my eyes closed much of the ride. The first drop on Loch Ness monster is not steep and only 114 feet (by comparison I305 at KD has a 305 foot first drop; Dominator a 200 ft drop). Loch Ness's last hill you can see is basically just a ramp. There is a trim brake on the bigger hill before the first loop so you are really going the same speed and distance and angle as the last hill. It just looks scarier. This is really a perfect beginner to intermediate coaster and w the new tracking should be smoother. Also Verbolten is a family coaster and Apollos Chariot looks intimidating but is just hills (no inversions)and not too fast - roller coaster 'enthusiasts' find it boring.
@@Martin_ros tysm!! I think what my problem is lots of rides look rather scary to me which makes me not wanna get on them. Now I only confuse myself bc I can easily ride the zipper at the fairs and I even rode the batman 360 coaster at six flags. I'm building up lots of courage to get on this with my father since he used to ride it alot when he was younger.
@@Lizzydarlingxoxo I'd say, give it a try. Worst case, you don't like it, and move on with your day, ya know? Or you might find a few minutes in life where you had no worries, just fun. If you rode any of the Batman coasters at a Six Flags, this ain't nothing. It's a classic coaster, so while it might have a jank here and there at a turn, none of them are bad as it's been taken care of exceptionally well. And it's only just above 100 foot and the drops really aren't steep. I would say it's a fantastic starter "family thrill" coaster. Emphasis on thrill there. As it is quite intense in a few spots. The valleys of the 2 main drops and the triple helix. But also has a lot of slow, down time to catch your breath. And remember, thousands of people ride it per day and come off perfectly fine. Embrace the fear!
This was the second coaster my daughter rode at BGW. First was Big Bad Wolf and she road it 8 times in a row at the age of 5. When she was tall enough for the Loch Ness the next year she was thrilled to ride it. This one is fairly tame compared to most. If you want smooth then you can't go wrong with Apollo's Chariot although the drops are higher. Loch isn't as smooth but a great coaster to start with as it is thrilling without being over powering (Like KD Intimidator 305 for example).
I lost my glasses on this ride in 2022. Good times
It looks so much smoother of a ride
Does it feel any different other than the obvious effects? Is it faster?
It’s smoother than before but there is some janky parts still in some areas of the ride
Crazy how its still running after so many years..
That’s what happens when a coaster gets refurbished and of course the maintenance team doing a fantastic job
snooze-fest!
Loch Ness Monster really has stood the test of time~ I mean since 1978, it's been thrilling riders, and thanks to S&S and Busch Gardens for doing such amazing renovations and putting a lot of money into this coaster, it still seems to run excellent 46 years later. I mean it even looks brand new~
The re-track was done by Premier
@@elitelord5350 oh Premier Rides?? 😯😯 that’s cool to know
I read they added a nessie statue but i dont see it anywhere
It was added later after this video was taken
Looks very slow, unentertaining, not scary at all, and Boring!
Just got off it its so much fun
Just got off it its so much fun
It's so smooth now
I wish that Carolina Cyclone at Carowinds would get retracked. That Arrow was TORTURE. Glad to hear that this one is better/smoother.
I thought they where not allowing gopros as of yet
They were allowed, there was no sign posted saying no cameras like last year with Darkoaster
@cheesesticks8695 that's awesome to hear since I'm bringing the gopro Sunday for filming!
Nice! Can’t wait to check it out!
@cheesesticks8695 I'll watch yours properly after my first ride too. Wanted to save the hype for Sunday 🤣
The ride was great today! Only got one ride but I'll be down for media day anyway
They've also added a Nessie statue after the second loop during the week between the member's preview and the grand opening.
They did the themeing here much better than the new darkoaster
That thing has an identity crisis where loch Ness is honestly perfect
The huge TV screens could been longer in the cave so the monster could chase them through
New theming added after this was take . There are two more screens on the left side inside the tunnel and a large Nessie statue stands next to the track after the second loop. You can see the platform for it in this video.
Is it open to the public? I was thinking it will open on May 10th
It was open for members today
Ohhhhhh
oooof them loops looked abit tight and rough, the rest of the ride looks so boring and tame.
This is a bucket list coaster for me and I’m glad it isn’t going away anytime soon
Look how SMOOTH IT IS
Oh yeah! This and Tennessee Tornado at Dollywood (both of which I’ve ridden) are the only 2 smooth Arrow loopers that I know of although I could be wrong as there’s probably more of them that I don’t know about
Sounding more Irish than Scottish.
They did something with the tunnel no way!
Mike myers doing the voice?
I heard it goes about tree fitty.
I Remember one time when I went to Bush Gardens my Cousin and I rode the Lockness Monster Several times because The Park was practically empty
My record is 15 times with a friend when the park was empty - we just stayed in the seat. It was interesting how towards the end the thrill was pretty much gone. It felt like having a conversation in a normal car ride, except with a better view
Pacing? Never heard of her
Maybe they should have updated the anti rollbacks so that you can hear the music and speech better
I could hear it just fine
Did they replace the track and make it any less rough? Haven't rode it before? why not replace the train with more comfortable restraints instead of the hard over the shoulder restraints?
There is still some rough transitions but it is smoother than before
That was WEAK!!!👎
UNIQUE SUPER CREATOR !
Way to short!
100th thumbs up
Updated theming looks great
I like that.
That Looked Like a Smooth Ride.
Just rode today it's extremely smooth
aren't we supposed to catch a "glimpse" of the Lochness monster at the first drop in the river?
It was still being worked on so it might be ready for the official opening.
@@Elementalcoasters8695oh ok, I’ll be there may 5th so hopefully I’ll catch that glimpse 😂
Still looks rough. Why didn't they make the track smoother?
It’s waaay smoother in my opinion in person
They also only replaced some of the track not the whole thing
What did they do to the ride to change it?
They replaced some of the track and added new theming elements to the ride.
@@Elementalcoasters8695 thank you 🙏
Loch Ness was my very first roller coaster when I was 5 years old. My dad put lifts in my shoes to make the height requirement in 1978.
Yep, just as boring as I remember. What a lame coaster for such an iconic park.
Sorry but I think the audio track is annoying and the accent is like a Scot version of Lucky the Leprecaun. The what happened to the previous expedition backstory is stolen from Disney's Expedirion Everest (Escape the Yeti) coaster. I wish they had just added back the original cave effects w the misting of water as you came out; maybe a good Hollogram instead of the mural. Something in the water too as you make the first drop ( underwater hollogram?). I hope the coaster is smoother and the chain lifts look faster. Like the fresh gold and green paint. But really the effects are uncreative and lame
I think it’s fine but I can see why people don’t like it, but I agree, he sounds more Irish than Scottish.
One loop. It doesn’t look bad at all. Pretty straight forward for a coaster.
there’s two loops
It has two interlocking loops. The only existing remaining pair in the world.
That audio track has to go. All it does is remind me of Fat Bastard from Austin Powers movies.
I like it, it helps tell a story while on the ride
@@Elementalcoasters8695 I'm glad you like it. I think it sucks. I didn't need to be told a story in 1988 when I first rode it and I don't need it now. It's not Hagrid's.
I think I disagree with you. I really enjoyed the new soundtrack, I think it give the ride more character.
@@landonkincaid6630 For those who enjoy the soundtrack, great! I'm glad you do. I don't care for it.
More designers obsessed with “sToRy”
Looks lame
Coaster looks weak
Is that considered a “family coaster”? Pretty meh.
It's a classic coaster. I think from the 70s!
