Loch Ness Monster (Original) - Front Row POV - Busch Gardens Williamsburg

Experience a front row ride on the original Loch Ness Monster at Busch Gardens Williamsburg! This POV was filmed October 15, 2023 prior to the re-tracking.

First coaster I ever rode- such a classic. I remember there was a monster in the tunnel that looked like it was a giant Lite Brite

[@Themetography]

It definitely is! Sounds like an effect is being added back to the tunnel during the refurbishment...looking forward to it reopening in May!

[@JunipersQuest]

I wonder if the new track it got will make it smoother with the refurbished track.

[@Themetography]

I hope there's some improvement there, particularly coming out of the loops!

[@Snowwie88]

Watching this I am just thinking, I want a roller coaster that comes from a height of 2,000 meters with a complete vertical drop, that then shoots back at least up a hill of 800 meters and again plumbing down straight down. Feeling the G-Forces to the max.

[@jonathanstarling1082]

Does the ride go upside down in the tunnel?

[@Themetography]

No, the tunnel is just a helix. The only inversions are the two vertical loops.

[@coasterpath]

I thought they redid the tracks this year.

[@Themetography]

They started the re-tracking right after Howl-O-Scream. I believe the track work is complete, but they're still working on the other renovations. It's set to reopen in May.

THIS ROLLER COASTER LOOKS LAME AS HELL!

[@Themetography]

It doesn't compare to today's coasters, but it's a classic and still has the best drop in the park!

[@swampserpent2467]

seems like a boring ride to me- two single loops? the cave.. meh kinda interesting but.. can do so much better ... good camera work nothin onyou but the coaster seems boring-

[@Themetography]

The elements aren't as compelling as what modern coasters can offer, but it's a classic. The setting is amazing and it still has the best drop in the park in my opinion.

[@p3ach_silhouette487]

They're actually in the progress of revamping the ride, it's the same theming but the track is gonna be redone along with the cave and some other elements, when I worked there this was the ride that I operated, it was honestly so nostalgic

[@Dookieryan]

It’s a good warm up coaster

[@p3ach_silhouette487]

@@Dookieryan that's what I tell EVERYONE I go with, it has a little bit of everything so it's perfect
