alpengeist04 Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 All these e-mails and dates have me confused. ...so when all else fails, go with the AquaTrax.
slnewbus Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 My theory? Thermometer: The Ride Foe Sho lmao Ah...It's Hershey, always poorly executed and lame.
ahecht Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 Someone on another forum checked the IP of one of the nantimi emails and found (claimed) that it did in fact belong to Hershey. I lack the know-how to do this myself, can anyone else on here try that and see what they come up with? I am sold that this is a marketing campaign by Hershey, yet I have no concrete evidence to back it up with myself...I still haven't seen any solid proof that it is Hershey. But that doesn't mean that it isn't... Well, that someone was wrong. Hershey Park's website (hersheypa.com and hersheypark.com) is located at 64.239.69.150, which is an IP address owned by Interland. Nantimi.com is located at 209.151.228.210, which is an IP address owned by Cyberverse. I don't see any possible connection.
Jim S. Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 Yeah, like Hershey can't afford to have somebody else host a tiny website.
ParkTrips Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 some of you people are taking this a bit too seriously! How fast you know about it won't help the ride open any sooner, and if it will help you sleep better, its less than 2 weeks away!
ItsDavidU Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 I don't know is this has been discovered or not but I was reading one of the press releases for Storm Runner and part of it says.. HERSHEY, PA – The world’s first hydraulic launch coaster, featuring inversions, will race into HERSHEYPARK for the 2004 season, bringing the Park’s herd of roller coasters to a perfect ten. So maybe the 'what's better than a perfect 10' is really saying, 'what's better than Storm Runner?' Just a thought... two weeks to go!
coaster05 Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 I am so glad I have a job, coaching, a wife, dog, other hobbies, and actual trips to plan, that way even though Hershey is one of my favorite places I don't spend my days worried about what will be there.
BeemerBoy Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 ^ & ^^^ Thank you. I was inspired to do some searching of my own though....
DerekRx Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 Finally this thread has become entertaining! Thank you, guys!
CoasterEricHP Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 ^^ No Comment. Man.. I forgot what I was going to say now.. got distracted by Star Trek and World of Warcraft..
jackskellington101 Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 ^^^ Very nice. I must say, intentional or not, it certainly put a lot of buzz on what the heck this announcement could be. Hey! I know! It's a thermometer themed drop tower!
ghost007jas Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 Hey guys, I'm sure that some of you still doubt the legitimacy of Nantimi. I was able to interview a reliable source from nantimi last night and the interview has since been posted on Coasterdom. Hopefully this will prove to you all that Nantimi is definitely legit. http://www.coasterdom.com/2007/09/14/exclusive-interview-with-a-source-from-nantimi/ Enjoy! -Jake
coasterdude5 Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 Pretty interesting... I wish they'd come on over to TPR and answer some questions, haha.
Cheesey Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 There's clues to another teaser link on the first page of the nantimi site now...This one's really complicated. See if you can figure it out. It involves the new employee. That's all I'm saying for now...
coasterdude5 Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 If you hover over the pink "Z" area, it says: s & o are the key I'm still lost.
OriolesManiac88 Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 cheesey...im still trying to take a screenshot of that 2nd pic that pops up. If you get one, could you send it to me? And if anyone wants to know how to do it, or what it is, send me a PM.
coasterdude5 Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 I've got nothing, I've looked for a while now... EDIT: I downloaded a .GIF splitter and this is what I got: EDIT #2: Oh crap it's a puzzle It almost looks like Flying Dutchman track but I'm not for sure.
Axman Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 I looks like a Mack Water Coaster/Intamin Aquatrax! (Aquatrax Fanboys, commense sh1ting yourselves now)
Cheesey Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 So...anyone have the time to print it out and try to put it together?
coasterdude5 Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 Yeah I did it... but I don't have enough enough time to really work on it so I'll just see what I can do in 10 minutes.
TexTitan01 Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 I looks like a Mack Water Coaster/Intamin Aquatrax! (Aquatrax Fanboys, commense sh1ting yourselves now) dont be so sure...I thought it looked a little Vekoma-esque in parts...It's really too early to say since no one has solved the puzzle However, if it is an Aquatrax, and I am infact wrong, feel free to hurl sharp, explosive, and otherwise dangerous items at me
coasterdude5 Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 I'm getting close to solving it: - It's definitely NOT an aquatrax - It has a vertical lift (maybe more?) - It looks like it might be launched as well... I'll post a shot of it when I get done with it.

asr Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 The translation is "ckret@nantimi.com has the answers you seek. All will be known soon...you will know sooner." EDIT: Darn, you beat me. I wish I had an email account so I could play this too.
