A sweet ride! It has some decent speed to it, the interlocking loops are just amazing, and it looks stunning. Also for
an arrow coaster it's surprisingly smooth. However, overall the ride is a bit slow and drags through parts, not to
mention a 2nd lift. All that being said, it is a fun coaster!

This was the first to have interlocking loops and the only one that is still operating with them.

It was ok, but the best parts were the interlocking loops and the indoor helix. Interesting story about this one
though. When I went on it, during the first loop, My train and another train went through at the same time! Needless
to say, it was pretty cool and thrilling.

Don't forget about the enclosed helix, I thought that was real fun too.

It has definitely gotten rougher with age even in the 10 years that I have been riding it, but I still think this is the
best Arrow looper there is. The use of landscaping and the interlocking loops make this ride.

What a beautiful ride ! So far, it is my favorite Arrow looper. If they could take away the second lift, I would rate
it two points higher. The drops, the loops, and a helix in a lonnnng tunnel; oh my.

Hey gavin, it's not that smooth anymore. Actually it's some what smooth except for the turn after the first drop and the
second have of both of the loops. It usually has a short line so it's worth ridin.

This is by-far one of Arrow's best creations. The use of landscaping and terrain is immaculate. The best part, being in
one of the loops when another train passes through, you can not experience that anywhere else.

I loved this ride a lot. I was lucky to get it at night, so the tunnels were pitch black and you couldn't tell when the
pops of airtime were coming. But even in the day it would have been great. The drops were great-lots of floater-, the
loops were forceful, and it was pretty smooth for an Arrow. Classic.

Interesting ride- only of it's kind with the interlocking loops, although it really didn't do much for the feeling. For
me, I was kind of dissapointed. It seemed like it woulc have so much potential with the first drop, but kind of wasted
it. Fun ride, though.

A really good forceful coaster, with a unique layout. Also minimal headbanging for an Arrow, might be the best Arrow
i've ridden.

My first coaster gets a 10 in my heart. Such an amazing design. The BEST at night.

This was my first coaster so I'll always love it. It's surprisingly smooth with minimal head banging. It's a classic
that can seem played for a real enthusiast, but judging it on it's own it's really a good coaster.

Loch Ness is a classic - it's a fun ride, although it seems to get a bit dull during some sections.Surprisingly smooth
for a ride its age, however!

I have always been a big fan of BGW coasters and this is no exception. This ride was my first looping coaster and my
first Arrow Dynamics coaster. If your lucky, sometimes they will run the trains so that both trains enter the inter
locking loops at the same time, INCREDIBLE!

This is my #1 favorite Arrow coaster just in front of Viper at SFDL.

Loch Ness Monster looks like a stunning ride, even to look at. Those interlocking loops are fantastic looking. Again,
as most of the coasters at BGW, a good height, and a great layout.
