On July 27, 1977, Busch Gardens Williamsburg announced that Loch Ness Monster would be coming in 1978. It would be located in the center of the park in the Scotland themed area. Loch Ness Monster was going to be the first major roller coaster at the park, as well as the park's first roller coaster with inversions. During construction, a section of track leading from the bottom of the second loop to the brake run before the station was incorrectly formed, bending left, instead of right. Workers heated the track to physically bend it to the correct position, resulting in a sharp bump, which remains noticeable to riders.
