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.

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.

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.
@changster15Ай бұрын
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.

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.

The first drop is not bad. It’s not intense at all… it’s just fun 😊
@Martin_rosАй бұрын
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.
@LizzydarlingxoxoАй бұрын
@@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.
@jonny-b4954Ай бұрын
@@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!
@tecwzrdАй бұрын
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).

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
