Reon Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 A few new takes on Nantimi: *Hypershaker=HP, but does it mean anything else? The hyper could indicate that it will be over 200 ft tall, and shaker might mean that it gets twisty? *Portfolio: I agree that this will be a lift hill coaster, but maybe the other letters mean something too? POROO Finally, I hint back to my Intamin theory again. Cable lift hill to 200+ feet, then have a verticle drop into some twisty cool layout.

CoasterEricHP Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I don't work until 2 today so here's my new take on this project! ( I wish! ) This would definitely stop traffic on Hersheypark Drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ccron10 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 ^ That'd be cool, but don't forget about the new employee parking lot across the street. ^^ Look, let's just drop any Nantimi conversation right here, this thread is for what's coming next year, not a website where some fanboy probably made to play with us. ^^^ I might be going in 2 or 3 more weeks and I plan on taking a lot of pictures. I'll try to see what I can find. What about a Intamin ZacSpin? In a way it is similar to Terbulance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesey Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I don't think this has been posted yet... I was browsing around the Nantimi site and found that the "hypershaker" text under the jobs section is clickable and sends an email to hyper@nantimi.com with the subject "Found You".

I can't find one... EDIT: Just figured it out...it says: ckret@nantimi.com has the answers you seek. All will be known soon...you will know sooner.

Homer Posted September 9, 2007 Author Share Posted September 9, 2007 Guys, I'm not sure whether or not you've heard this, but Nantimi was a fake site. Still surprised some enthusiasts have been taking it seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekRx Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I think the whole thing is pretty funny, setting up a whole fake website like this to throw off enthusiasts who just gotta know right now. Seems like a whole lotta work on your part, especially since you won't be riding it any sooner than the rest of us. I'll just sit back and wait for the announcement in 3 weeks and be there for opening day next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Wow, is this the first time a theme park company has gotten into the realm of Alternate Reality Games (ARG's)? The one set up for Halo and Nine Inch Nails' last album was kind of cool, but I don't have the time and patience to try to figure out all the little puzzles and clues.

Reon Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I had the Intamin idea before that site...it just helped the theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 If this is all really being done by Hersheypark, I think it's awesome. It's a great way to get everyone hyped for the new ride. If it isn't, somebody needs to take on that secret agent role that was mentioned earlier in the thread and take down the guy responsible. Oh, and ccron, if it's open, try to grab a ride on Roller Soaker. The Storm Runner track pieces were sitting right behind the fence next to the ride and were visible from the queue. If anything's at the park yet, maybe it'll be there again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primogen18 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 There were misc structure parts there when I went behind that fence, I didn't think anything of it really, but then again who knows. They could have been supports. Maybe I should have snapped a picture lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ccron10 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 They also had ECWW's supports laying there last year. Anything behind LR, RS, and Music Express could be where the pieces be. Someone went out to the park today and said they saw 2 cranes, a moble crane was in the northern employee lot and a larger one in pieces along with some portable lighting systems. WCO should be coming down soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexTitan01 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Has anyone stopped to think about what Nantimi stated the price was? Nantimi stated the ride was going to cost $12.1M, which could equal to: Hyper coaster (Ride of Steel @ DL costs $12M) PnP woodie (Balder costs $10M, so maybe something of a little larger scale) Something of the inverted sort...because those cant cost more than $10M anyways (cant find a price anywhere...) I doubt that cleared anything up, but it was just an showing of what $12.1M can and cant buy you... Like I doubt we'll see Milf 2.0 gettin built...

prabe Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 If it's an invert, it won't be a B&M; Great Bear fills that need pretty nicely, as I recall. It's also worth pointing out that at least in the case of S:ROS, those dollars aren't identical to 2008-ish dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natatomic Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I wrote an e-mail to ckret@nantimi.com (get it? "secret") a day or two ago after figuring out the binary thing. All I said was "Who are you?" I got a response earlier today, and it said this: Now is not the time for formal contact and there IS more to come. For them 9.27, you 9.26. more later. I don't care if it's real or not - this website has got my attention, and I love the mystery of it all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natatomic Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 ^I guess. No idea really. Just e-mail the guy some random message, and I'm sure you'll be added to his inner circle, or whatever his "ckret" e-mail list is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
