The Loch Ness Monster

The logo on the front is a very recent addition, that's if it wasn't edited in for the video. If they really did add it, it's about time Nessie had detailing on the front of her trains again, it's been too bare for too long.

As always, Nessie=:heart:.

It's been there since at least July 3rd. That was my last visit, and I can confirm it was there.

Yeah, I wouldn't be able to confirm things like that unless it was there maybe sometime earlier in June. Just a question, did you see it on only one train or multiple? In the past they used to always have detailing on two of the trains and then have one without detailing, at least, that's what I recall. Just wondering if they did it the same way now.
 
If I was to guess, it would be the "A train". The one that's always running the circuit, even on low capacity days when only one or two are needed.

Wouldn't be shocked if it shows up on all of them eventually. They seem rather fond of the new logo.

Here are a few shots I took last weekend during our trip.  I can confirm in the pic below that the BG logo and tree are on the train.  They were stuck in the photo while returning to the station while another train was stuck out on the lift hill. Not the best as I took my crappy pocket camera, but enjoy.

If they get new trains I would love to see new over the shoulder restraints so you can actually put your hands up on this ride

The coaster is intentionally designed around the restrictive nature of the restraints. Unlike most coasters today, Loch Ness Monster wasn't designed with a full arms-length ride envelope in mind.

I like how these restraints make you feel secure, and yet not superglued to your seat. I didn't realize the arms up aspect was the cause of the design, and not just a side effect.

The day the Loch Ness Monster closes is, uh, just a memory--will mark the true end of the Old Country.

I thought about that exact post of yours, which is the reason for the weird wording.  *Obviously* I said "is just a memory" because I am saying its memory will be preserved forever since they will build a new park JUST FOR NESSIE!  AND REBUILD BIG BAD WOLF TOO!  AND JACK WILL BE BACK AND THE OLD COUNTRY WILL RETURN!

Oops. Got a little off topic there.  But what I'm saying is I hope the park understands they need to hold onto everything they have left of the park that gives it a soul.  And the way things are right now, Nessie is the heart that keeps the Busch Gardens of our memories clinging to life.

You are talking about JAck as in the dude that used to do a show for HOS in Killarney right?
 
After watching the Arrow film it became very clear to me how little the management cares about Nessie.  When you listen to them talk about its reliability and popularity but they do not to discuss its legacy or iconic statue.  In fact no one from the park even mentions the inter-locking loops.  It really saddens me.

Then there were the rumors of the park considering tearing it down. Fortunately that ended with Scotts removal.

Are you referring to the BGW Anniversary DVD? Or is this Arrow Film something completely different I'm assuming?
