^Totally different situations. On Youtube, the most random searches can come up with even more random videos, and the more tags you add, the more likely your video will appear in a search. As for Nantimi was probably mostly found through coaster websites which have a rather limited audience (i.e. coaster enthusiasts). You could probably narrow it down even more to only people who are interested in Hersheypark's new roller coaster. Not exactly a wide audience. Youtube, on the other hand, is not restricted to a specific topic or hobby - it actually covers just about anything (on a whimsical search, I found 144 videos for "nose flute") so it attracts a MUCH bigger audience. Soooo, kind of apples to oranges.

DANG. I kept expecting small streams of vomit to come spiraling out at any moment during that video.

I think orange Starbursts are ridiculously overrated. Also, some people need to learn how to spell ridiculous.

When I worked at WDW as a CM, I started out in the toll booth (NOT fun), but it was suggested of us to greet the guests with, "Are you going to Magic Kingdom today?" just because so many people were actually either lost or going to a resort which doesn't require a parking fee. Anyway, whenever I would ask that, I'd get about 3 people a day who would respond with, "Is that Disney World?" Duh. I also was asked how to get to Universal at least once a day. I guess they didn't see that GIGANTIC WDW sign that they had to drive under about 5 miles back. And then when I was transfered to Splash Mountain (yay!), I every other person would ask me, "So, do you get wet on this ride?" Eventually, I got so exhausted of the question that I smartly began to lead them by the hand to the answer: Me: "Which ride, again?" GP: "Splash Mountain." "Hmm...Splash mountain. Splash Mountain. A Mountain that involves splashing. You know, I think there's a pretty good chance that you might." One time a lady asked to speak to a manager because she got too wet. D'oh! Who knew that could happen on a water ride?

6/10 History was never my best subject, coaster-related or not.

They selected those who got involved in the game. It wasn't forced on anyone, but it was open to everyone. Plus, I think the REAL arguments were between those who believed HP3fan about already knowing what the coaster was going to be and those who didn't believe him. And that was ENTIRELY unrelated to Nantimi.

^ I know some people who would consider extreme height a gimmick.

Not quite what I was talking about, but thanks for trying to help.

I know, the joke's on them, right? As for the other 7, I saw someone on coasterbuzz got the e-mail. That brings it up to five. As for the ride, I think it looks awesome. I personally love beyond-vertical drops, gimmick or not. They really get you out of your seat, and as a coaster enthusiast, that's what I LIVE for. The Norwegian Loop looks amazing - can't wait to try that out. And I really like the vertical lift - I loved it on Mystery Mine, so I'd imagine I'll love it just as much on Fahrenheit. Props to Nantimi. This announcement was the greatest.

^11 of us definitely got more than just the sneak preview. And even without a reward at the end, the challenge of seeing if we could figure it out is fun for me. It's not always about end result. The journey is usually what makes it great.

^Wow. I wasn't that far off with Thermometer. Hahaha. And 97* degree? Nice....

Here's the teaser video Nantimi released last night. I didn't post it or anything, I just found it on YouTube via screamscape.

^^ I think if it were shorter than Storm Runner, it would go back in time.

^ Oh yeah. Nantimi = Hershey for certain. <- This is what I'm actually doing right this second, by the way.

^ I did!

^I wanted to share the video, but I didn't know how. :'( See? I have flaws, too.

Well, it is pretty much as HPfan3 said in the chat: Vertical lift, vertical drop (I think it's more than 90*, but it's hard to tell), Norwegian loop, cobra roll, 2 corkscrews, and a couple of airtime hills. And from what I could tell, it was a chain lift. I suppose if Mystery Mine can do it...

Well, the one thing I didn't get right was the number of inversions.

Are we allowed to share, Donan?

Awesome. That is all.

At least when this announcement is made, we'll stop getting all these repeat posts. Thanks anyway, though. I suppose 100 pages worth of updates would be a bit overwhelming to read through all at once.

Oooo, I'm getting pretty excited now. Nantimi has really built up the anticipation for me. This is BY FAR the greatest pre-announcement teaser.

Martin is the guy in Boston. And both he and Luke both work for Nantimi according to the Nantimi website. E-mail natalie@nantimi.com and you'll see. And no, that's not my e-mail address.

Ok, so there is something to the GottenBaklavaCompulsion.. Took me forever to figure it out. If you want to play the game, then I'll just give you a hint: There is more than one. This is the other. But whose? Mix it up a bit, and don't forget the dots. If you really couldn't care less about the puzzle-solving aspect and just want the answer, then 1) how sad and 2) highlight the area below for Nantimi's latest clue: lukenanavati.blogspot.com
