The ride has been closed since November while improvements were made. The renovation includes 900 feet of replaced track and new theme elements.
The park says they're excited for parkgoers to ride the revamped coaster.
"Get ready for the thrill of a lifetime as you plummet over 100 feet, race towards the first of two interlocking vertical loops, traveling up to 60 miles per hour, and emerge into a spiraling tunnel, traversing a helix and coming face-to-face with the monster in the shadowy cave lair," said Busch Gardens in its description of "Nessie."
Members have the chance to ride the coaster before it opens to the public. It'll open to platinum & premier members on May 2. All other members get access starting May 3.
