Loch Ness IS BACK! Ride POVs and First Reactions | Busch Gardens Williamsburg

[@Krysishalloween]

Can’t tell you how much I appreciate the volume warnings and the MULTIPLE spoiler alerts. Fantastic video.

[@jjrudy41]

They did a great job. I would love if they could get back to timing the 2 trains through the loops eventually.

I remember going to BG in 1978 and seeing Loch Ness Monster. Of course I was too young to ride it. But I finally rode it in 1993. It is honestly one of the most beautiful coasters I've ever seen.

[@HollywoodandWine101]

This was my second ever coaster and my first “real” credit since my very first was the then called woody woodpeckers nuthouse coaster at universal. I’m so happy to see this legendary coaster get some much needed love!

[@TheVloggerDude2018]

Awesome queue. Also RIDE AUDIO??? So freaking cool. Long live the Loch Ness Monster!

[@CrazyManhog]

Story telling

[@TheSirenSeeker]

There's an easter egg on that Big Bad Wolf poster - Ronald Toomer was the designer of almost every Arrow from 1965 - 1995.

[@IoMGeek]

Good catch!

[@N_Drogyny]

This was my first ever coaster, and I'm so glad Nessie is getting the love it deserves!

[@MileHighGrowler]

Love seeing BG give some glow-up love for an Arrow classic!

[@derekharper2152]

Thank you so much for the content, Busch Gardens and Williamsburg are my home away from home, and your videos are the best BGW content out there!!! I can’t wait to ride the updates Loch Ness!

[@IoMGeek]

Wow, thanks!

[@Creeper15]

Lockness Monster has always had two and a half of a helix in the tunnel and I'm old enough to remember when they had a blacklight painted Nessy on the inside or left side of the train. This is definitely an upgrade. My suggestion they should have had a big curved screen lining the inside of the cave and shown Nessy swimming around and another thought is at night have projection on the cave itself of Nessy with the Logo

[@IoMGeek]

Okay so the double helix has always been there. My memory failed me, but hey, then it felt new to me! 😂

[@rockwithroadrunner]

I’m sitting here crying as I worked this ride after we shut Drachen down when I was in high school at Lafayette. I haven’t been back to the ‘Burg since we moved in ‘99. Thank you for the the footage. This was also my first coaster years before helping it run so my goal is to get my now daughter down here to make it her first coaster. Thank you again for the happy memories 🥹

[@IoMGeek]

Bring your daughter to experience the ride! Thank you so much for watching - I loved Drachen Fire

[@m.hreels9822]

Really cool! I've been looking forward to seeing what they've done ✅👍🏻❤ decent upgrades! I love the destroyed coaster car at the beginning but the stuff in the tunnel was pretty much what I was expecting. I know they can't do much because the tunnel is pretty cramped. Hope the video screen is cool inside ❤ I have mixed feelings but I like how they put on board audio 🔉

[@mindycarroll1035]

I loved this coaster growing up ❤

[@TheKurtsPlaceChannel]

Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.

[@m.hreels9822]

You were right about the screen in the tunnel did they show the same CGI loch Ness Monster showing from the commercials?🐍

[@IoMGeek]

I think it was different? Same design but different animations

[@puckpuff8719]

We'll be there next weekend too! Maybe we'll be able to spot you this time and say hi!

[@heeznutz946]

it would be better if the screen in the tunnel were bigger/wrap around. also, congrats to BG for replacing the bulbs on the green and blue floodlights in the tunnel; they haven't worked since 1997, but you cant call that a part of the new LNM because they've been there for a hot minute. lastly, the new audio - that's coming from the buildings and structures near the coaster, not the train itself, correct?? your vide is great but the parks' "upgrade" has me wanting more.

[@JB-hl1qx]

I was always afraid of this coaster (afraid of heights) but it looks so fun! I actually had one too many drinks one Howl o Scream and rode Alpenghiest tho! Is this drop worse that Alpenghiest? Excellent video by the way 🤘

[@Amazonagent]

Loch Ness wasn't my first looping roller coaster (that was great American Scream Machine at Great Adventure) but I have a vivid core memory of going to Busch Gardens Williamsburg (when it was the Old Country) and my mom trying to make me get on Loch Ness. And I remember refusing to get on because I was scared of roller coasters and told her I would sit and wait for her so she could ride it (I was too young to do that of course) but I was not getting on that thing! A few years later I did get on it and it was great so I have enjoyed your updates on this refurb and any of your trips to the park as it brings up fond memories. Thanks for the videos!

[@jjrudy41]

It seem like what they did in the tunnel is nessy is in tanks and occasionally swims by.

[@Heatherofscots]

Thank you for this detailed video. I think they did a great job with the theming. I am looking forward to riding this again (I haven't been on this since the 80's , lol) I was just at the park in April , when I planned my trip I didn't know about the refurb. I am curious about Nessie in the loch.

[@donaldcherry2717]

Big upgrade from the bad light up Nessie face exiting the tunnel back in the day.

[@JonnyAmusement]

see you on Thursday!

[@Warrior_Saint88]

They even added special effects in that tunnel.

[@jet34thehawk]

Awesome 👌 video man ❤

[@BSCGEEK]

I rode 3 times today. Their's actually 3 screens in the tunnel. They were different on ech ride. Lochness was smoother imo. Looking forward to the next ride.

[@IoMGeek]

I totally missed the middle screen BOTH times while riding.

[@jadedk1tten]

tbh i thought the tunnel beforehand had THREE spirals it felt so long to me. so perhaps i've gaslit myself about it

[@IoMGeek]

Right? I thought it was one! You say three. Apparently it was two. Who knew?

[@RoastBeefSandwich]

They did a great job. I went to BGW for the first time in 2022 and loved the ride. Can't wait to get back there and ride again. So was the entire coaster re-tracked?

[@IoMGeek]

I believe it’s MOSTLY re-tracked. Not 100% how much.

[@ryanjones8227]

It was good riding with you! I apologize for talking to you during your POV. I didn't realize you were wearing the camera glasses

[@IoMGeek]

No need to apologize, Ryan! It was great to ride with you too. Also, I like the talking - makes me remember the ride even more.

[@spalt]

thanks for the many spoiler warnings, I certainly wouldn't want the plot of a rollercoaster spoiled for those of us who take these sorts of things seriously.

[@IoMGeek]

People do! I wanted to be sure that people who don’t want it spoiled for them know it would be.

[@Jas0n3o2]

Big bad wolf was my first real coaster, and Loch Ness was my first upside down coaster

[@m.hreels9822]

This was my 2nd roller coaster I've ever ridden as a kid at Busch Gardens ❤🎢

[@hanonondricek411]

The loops are cool, but only if the trains sync, although they may be not doing that due to loose objects. The first drop is glorious though.

[@Glubus]

Wait so is the sculpture confirmed?

[@IoMGeek]

It is.

[@GrampsWizarding]

Love this video thanks foe sharing

[@AltairEgoX]

I still think it would be better with an animatronic😊

[@azisles02]

That's not the real Loch Ness Monster. I didn't hear him ask for tree-fiddy.

[@KyraWolf]

It sounds like they preserved the lift hill chain clicking on it? Not me getting teary-eyed, shut up.

[@pamgaines970]

Nice but the front seat is better 🙃

[@clubsoda1111]

nothing to spoil

[@darrellross8609]

I would have return to Dollywood had I known what disappointment this place was....

[@craigwoods2355]

Ugh. Get a better camera.

[@leroybonds]

Yep I was there today I was ride it today and I be there tomorrow and this weekend
