Problematic Roller Coasters - Loch Ness Monster - A Truly Legendary Attraction

Loch Ness Monster has to be one of the most legendary roller coasters out there. When it opened at Busch Gardens Williamsburg in 1978, it was truly cutting edge. But it has since become more of a relic in terms of innovation and technology. Coincidentally, the ride outlasted a newer version of the coaster that Busch Gardens introduced in 1978, Drachen Fire.
