Hersheypark 2008 - 'Lost meets the Maverick thread'

[PAShawn]

^ I agree, I have never been convinced natimi is hershey but we will see tommorow.

[SnooSnoo]

Yeah, I would find it hilarious if this whole Nantimi thing was someone toying with us...

 

I'm not believing anything until something comes directly from Hershey.

 

Someone is laughing very hard right now. Quite funny.

[ConleyKE]

Personally I think it's pretty awesome! Yes it's somewhat short and doesn't launch (even though they already have Stormrunner I thought it would be tight) but it has a VERY unique layout with the norwiegian loop, which by the way looks amazingly fun! I give some props to Hershey and Nantimi, still asuming this is all legit. I'm really curious to see the stats and name of this coaster. Definitly worth a trip up there in my opinion.

 

Just wondering, how did they tell the Nantimi 25; just a link in an email or did they do the nantimi website password thing someone suggested earlier?

[Hersheypark08]

username on nantimi was your email address and the password was provided via email

Could someone please show the video? It is REALLY FREAKIN' ANNOYING when people brag about how they know it, but never tell anything.

[Hersheypark08]

i cant get the video link to work

[rgb60]

Anybody else here get an e-mail from Jason Brown, Promotions Manager from HERCO (entitled "Nantimi")?

[natatomic]

^ I did!

[CoasterEricHP]

YES!!!^

That link is broken. Did anyone download the video? If so could someone post it?

[Hersheypark08]

I received no email...yet.

[rgb60]

Awesome, Natalie and Eric!

 

So can we say that finally Hershey and Nantimi are connected? Or is there still doubt?

[Hersheypark08]

can you tell us what it said

[CoasterEricHP]

^^^ I really don't think there is any doubt now! That's CRAZY!

[natatomic]

^ Oh yeah. Nantimi = Hershey for certain.

<- This is what I'm actually doing right this second, by the way.

[ParkTrips]

Guys as much as I know some of you are excited, posts with one word, a couple smilies, and or a lack of respect for grammar and capitalization won't be tolerated. I don't want to delete any more, thanks!

[knowit]

no doubt. I bet you are EXTREMELY happy

[rgb60]

^ Well, the puzzle picture did say Phase XI would begin and end on 0926.

Hang in folks, remember IT WON'T BE LONG NOW. Besides, I'm sure what we'll see at noon will be much better than the preview we got tonight.

 

We still have no name, no stats, no idea how and where this is going to fit into the park, so there still is a lot to be announced yet.

 

BTW, I thought there were 6 inversions-- the 4 that were mentioned before, plus don't you count 2 for the Norwegian Pretzel Cheez Doodle, whatever it's called?

[knowit]

I would say 6 inversions

[OriolesManiac88]

For those of you that watched the POV, what would you estimate the time of ride being? Longer than Storm Runner?

[CoasterEricHP]

^ Yeah.. slightly.

 

I definitely think that the coaster makes great use of the land that is has to work with and will pack a huge punch!!

[natatomic]

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

[OriolesManiac88]

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

 

Very true. I figured that there would be no way it was shorter than SR (especially with chain lift), but was just makin sure.

[rgb60]

BTW, nantimi is no more. (latest release)

I'm kinda going to miss them in a strange way.

[RCFreak]

yeah yeah, I haven't been following along, but I do like the way they are doing this (01-18-08 is driving me nuts too!)
