Busch Gardens Williamsburg Project 2024: Loch Ness Monster Renovation

[halfabee]

Hey did someone say metal man..

Metal blade is on the Mount Rushmore of OP side-scroller projectiles. Glorious.

Fun fact: Metal Man and my personal history with LNM were born in the same year.

Fun fact for me, anyway.

Wasn't expecting Rx Bandits on my biweekly parkfans check in but I'm not complaining. And the Battle Begun rules

Same - just glad they're back to playing shows! They'll be in Baltimore in a few weeks (closest they're coming to BGW territory unfortunately)

Dang it, I'd love to see them live but won't be able to make it.

Just like that time I missed one of the OG Punk in Drublic shows with the Mad Caddies

Cant link it rn but it officially opens in May! Also, April 1 to 23 iirc there will be a Loch Ness Monster Historical Exhibit in scotland

Loch Ness Monster - Looping Roller Coaster | Busch Gardens Williamsburg

Can you handle interlocking loops and a 114-ft drop at 60 mph? A rite of passage for thrill-seekers since 1978, the Loch Ness Monster is only one dare away.

Pretty cool! Any guesses where that’ll go? Tweedside? The covered seating/smoking area by Lil Clydes?

Looks like we’re are getting some lcd panels and some lighting in the cave looks like this will be the Nessie sighting for this portion of the ride.

Can't wait to have my terrifying encounter with a Windows error screen a la Expedition Everest

Blue screen of death

Blue screen of death

I can see it now. It’s mid-summer 2024. A train full of ParkFan posters is ripping through the course. Everyone is screaming, laughing, having fun. As the train flys into the tunnel everyone gasps.

No not because the blue screen of death.

Because we’re all shocked to learn BGW splurged in an upgraded professional version of windows over the cheap home version.

Wait.. are you telling me parkfans posters can have fun at the park??

As an IT Engineer, they're both just as likely to BSOD and I'd rather not see Server2k8R2 running in the park.

I'd be shocked to not see the "Activate Windows now" in the bottom right corner of the screen.

Possible Prelift Building being built? Also a couple people working on the cave today.

See link in this post:

So far the project files have been protected but the bay permit, is now available, interesting to see the park is building some kind of building/ structure right before the first lift hill. But this drawing set also shows a little of the structure to be placed over the track at the final brake run seems as if it’s going to be is own structure and not an extension of the station.

So relieved to see the pre-lift scene wasn't cut! I was getting a bit spooked there without any visible progress! Thanks for the photo @CoasterViking305!

Ironically, I just got off InvadR and it has an activate Windows logo with an error dialog on one of the screens that shows train seating.

That doesn’t even surprise me
