The newly renovated "Loch Ness Monster: The Legend Lives On" had its grand reopening on Friday, May 10. Busch Gardens Members were able to get a sneak peek early ride access the weekend before.

The nearly 46-year-old looping yellow coaster known for its innovative interlocking loops will close to the public on October 31 for the project (members get "last to ride" access Nov. 4 and 5).

Bigger kids can enjoy rides and ... the Griffon or the Loch Ness Monster. Finally, adults flock to the themed country lands, especially the Oktoberfest village and its beer gardens.
