The "Legend Lives On," promises Busch Gardens and Premier Rides as they unveil plans for a transformation of Busch Gardens’ iconic Loch Ness Monster, originally built by Arrow Dynamics in 1978.

“With almost a thousand feed of new track on this ride, we are excited about that,” says Shay, whose company will be replacing the historic ride’s entire track.
Jeff Hornick, vice president of attraction design and development of SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment, says the transformed roller coaster will debut in 2024.
“At Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Loch Ness Monster: The Legend Lives On will debut as a completely revitalized experienced with thrilling new elements and really cool innovative new experiences inside the cave,” says Hornick.
Hornick commits to an “amped up” experience with new technology for a ride that he knows “holds a special place in the hearts of so many of our fans.”
