  • Lochness Monster is a classic coaster at BGW! Operating since 1978! Very Good Ride! It has a couple of Jarring moments here and there, but It doesn't bother me that much! Sit tight and enjoy the legendary lochness Monster!
    Please note that this video is safely filmed with a hand mount and a Gopro hero 8 and with perms of Busch Gardens Williamsburg
    *Please don't and I mean don't film on any operating Ride without permission or you might be escorted from the park without a refund! Depending on there rules!*

    With the color of the cart, I thought from the thumbnail it actually went underwater. They really should make a coaster that dives underwater, even for just a bit.

      I know what you mean, i live about 20 miles from Hershey, PA and have season passes to Hersheypark and 1st ride I always get on to warm up plus I still love it is the Superdooper Looper, when that first came out it was terrifying 40+ years ago, still love it

      Nessie opened in 1978 so she turned 45 this year. She was my first adult coaster and I still try to grab a ride on her every time I go to the park. I was 6 when she opened but I didn't have the courage to ride her until I was 13.

    Back in the 1980's and 1990's wife and I would go to Busch Gardens every year and first ting we would do was ride the Lock Ness Monster 5 or 6 times in a row. Fandamtastic!!! Busch is way better than Disney

    Bush Gardens Williamsburg is my favorite all time amusement park. There are other parks with better rides but the setting and the themes make it a true classic. Roller-coasters are usually just big fun monstrosities but the Lockness Monster was a true beauty to look at with its loops nestled in the valley above the water. Walking the path below you were just 15 feet or so below the track. When both trains were going through the loop at the same time, it was picture perfect.

    I used to love that ride. I've rode it many times. The last time was about 10 years ago. I knew then it would be my last trip to Bush Gardens. Arthritis had made it extremely painful for me. Not only the rides but the walking up and down hills was very hard for me. If i go back to a theme park, I would have to have access to a wheelchair or something and i don't believe that's possible at Bush Gardens with all the hills and stairs. Thanks so much for posting this video. Experiencing something i thought I'd never experience again through your video was truly wonderful.. 💖

    • @ashleighelizabeth5916
      @ashleighelizabeth5916 Před 8 měsíci +1

      I'm pretty sure there are wheel chair accessible ways to get around most areas of the park because of the ADA act and Busch Gardens in Tampa rents scooters so Williamsburg location probably does too. Nessie is a little rough by the standards of modern coasters but some of the newer coasters are a bit smoother...

    • @pdpamido
      @pdpamido Před 3 měsíci +1

      They have wheelchair access in the fast que. Also, they are re tracking the entire coaster. Should be much smoother. Expected to be ready by spring of this year.

    Back in the 80's & 90's my wife worked at a company that gave the employees and their families free passes to BGW. We were only 1hr from Williamsburg, so we went 4 or 5 times every season. Fun times. Rode Loch Ness many times. It was my favorite.

  • @donaldligon9418

    One of my favorite rides at Busch Gardens!!! Remember when they had flashing strobe lights in the tunnel? I used to be terrified of it when I was in my early 20s. Now it's my warm up ride. I'll go on any of the big roller coasters now! Fearless Granny!

  • @ScottyMania313

    I got to ride about two weeks after it first opened. I lived in VA for a short time, coming from CA. It was really exciting for me as I had always gone to Magic Mountain with the Revolution, which has one loop. After getting off the ride, I was given a small button that read, “I survived the Loch Ness Monster.” I collected 4 buttons that day.

    I first rode this coaster as a child (5 or 6), and I have sadly watched it fall into disrepair despite the parks efforts to keep it's original and Iconic coaster relevant and attractive to riders . The lights no longer work in the tunnel... at least not like they used to. They removed the monster's face that was a jump scare at the end of the tunnel. They had to de-sync the trains so that they would no longer perform the loops together... which was a major marketing factor back when it was first opened. The track has become SOOO bumpy, it's hard to ride (almost painful). HOWEVER; I was very pleased to hear that they are investing significant time and money into a re-tracking project for this beautiful beast. Here's hoping they can return Ole' Nessy to her former glory.
