This was probably the suprise of my trip. Nessie was actually fairly smooth with minimal headbanging, mostly just a bit coming out of the loops. The first drop into the ravine was cool, and though the ops did not coordinate the trains, the interlocking loops still created a nice effect even if all you saw was steel. The 900 degree-or-so helix was fun, especially since it was taken in a cave where you didnt know if you would ever stop spinning. Riding up front gave an excellent ride, while even the back wasnt too bad. The ride was about all you can ask of an Arrow looper: intense, one of the smoothest (not bad considering it has 20 years on Tennessee Tornado, which is the only one that I have ridden that was smoother), and an overall fun ride. Though I was not inclined to take more than two rides, I feel safe calling this my favorite Arrow looper to date, worthy of an 8.
