Busch Gardens is running a flash ticket sale till June 10th for $40 Thrill Ticket (single day admission tickets) that can be used until July 1, 2018 AND when you hop over to the Fest Haus you get to enjoy .40 Cent BEER through August 12! The beers are 7 oz cups and it is limited to 2 per person (you can only buy one at a time and there is a special .40 cent beer line so that this doesn’t disrupt regular food purchases).

On Wednesday, June 6, 2018, Busch Gardens President, Kevin Lembke opened Nessie’s 40th birthday festivities with a speech followed by lots of confetti!  Nessie was looking her best and the ACE Riders (American Coaster Enthusiasts Riders) were there to ride first – their group was formed 40 years ago at Loch Ness Monster Roller Coaster.  Nessie is currently the world’s only innerlocking  double looping roller coaster…code for: SERIOUS FUN!  Nessie has new cars this year and her mountain cave has had a face-lift (she is not ashamed of having a little work done here and there).  Here is the video of Kevin Lembke singing the praises of this 40 years young fierce “dragon” lady!
