Loch Ness Monster, Steel roller coaster in Williamsburg, United States.
The Loch Ness Monster roller coaster reaches speeds of 60 miles per hour along its 3,240-foot track through the Scottish-themed section of Busch Gardens.
Opening in June 1978, this Arrow Development creation introduced the first interlocking vertical loops in roller coaster engineering, marking a milestone in amusement ride design.
The roller coaster incorporates Scottish folklore elements in its design, with an expedition-themed queue area that connects visitors to highland exploration traditions.
Riders must measure at least 48 inches tall to experience this three-train system that operates with over-the-shoulder restraints and accommodates 28 passengers per train.
The Loch Ness Monster remains the only roller coaster worldwide featuring interlocking loops, complemented by a helix tunnel and two lift hills.
