 Review of Loch Ness Monster @ Busch Gardens Williamsburg

This was probably the suprise of my trip. Nessie was actually fairly smooth with minimal headbanging, mostly just a bit coming out of the loops. The first drop into the ravine was cool, and though the ops did not coordinate the trains, the interlocking loops still created a nice effect even if all you saw was steel. The 900 degree-or-so helix was fun, especially since it was taken in a cave where you didnt know if you would ever stop spinning. Riding up front gave an excellent ride, while even the back wasnt too bad. The ride was about all you can ask of an Arrow looper: intense, one of the smoothest (not bad considering it has 20 years on Tennessee Tornado, which is the only one that I have ridden that was smoother), and an overall fun ride. Though I was not inclined to take more than two rides, I feel safe calling this my favorite Arrow looper to date, worthy of an 8.

Nice review. Dose the tunnel still have the sound effects and the glowign eyes? I thought that was one of the best parks of the tunnel when I went many years ago.

I remember the glowing eyes from my 2002 trip. Great ride; I felt no headbanging at all.

I remember lights in the tunnel when I went. It was definatly the biggest surprise of my BGW trip in 2003. I rode it first as a sort of "warm up" coaster, but it proved to be otherwise. Rides like this prove that arrow has made its share of great rides
