Hersheypark 2008 - 'Lost meets the Maverick thread'

[natatomic]

^I don't think they froze it, they probably just took screen shots until they got a copy of every picture. I think you do that by hitting Alt+PrintScreen on your keyboard. Then just paste the image into Paint or Photoshop and crop out the excess stuff.

Thanks! I am happy with whatever HP does. They always make it work! But they need more flats, such as a Top Scan, Energy Storm, and Top Spin.

^ Easier way is to make the window small enough so that you can scroll up and down. Use the click-wheel on your mouse and scroll up and down until you freeze it on each frame.

 

That's what I do.

[Axman]

^ I did that too.

[niiicolaaah]

^I, personally, was never under the impression that the average enthusiast was of high intellect to begin with.

j/k

 

You crack me up.

 

Anyway, I still think it's an Intamin.

[coaster05]

I also believe it is an intamin. Lets just say a little bird told me.

[CoasterEricHP]

Mmmm.. Togo...

[sam06pr]

I think that they just want to keep us busy so that people do not figure it out or hacked in to their system (like what happened to Canada's Wonderland) They want to play with us so they make up something so we do not look at what actually is the real thing...I just decided that I will wait...

 

I think it will be a 500ft tall dive machine with 11 inversions, with 11 seats across, 11 rows, 11 trains.

Did anyone else look up the WHOIS info for Nantimi.com?

If this was a viral marketing campaign, why would the site be registered to iTICKETS.com (A site for "Christian event tickets and information)?

[splzero]

if its not hershey park why if you send info@Nantimi.com an e-mail you get

I will be out of the office starting 09/07/2007 and will not return until

07/31/2010.

 

I have resigned my position with HE&R effective Friday, September 7, 2007.

My email will be checked periodically for a few weeks. If this is for

advertising, please contact our agency, MayoSeitz Media, at 215.647.8700.

If you need immediate assistance, please email Mike Peiffer at

MPeiffer@HersheyPA.com.

[Reon]

I didn't really like Mystery Mine though... but maybe a larger model would be better.

 

Whatever it is, Hershey will make the best of it.

To each his own....Personally, it currently ties Maverick as my favorite steel. Theres nothing I dont like about the ride, except how short it is....

Anyone can say anything they want in an email. Has Mike Peiffer confirmed that he has any connection to Nantimi?

[Cheesey]

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...

[PAShawn]

I looked up The mail servers and have found that nantimi's mail server is coming from 64.78.150.43 which is not even close to any of hersheys mail servers.

 

Hersheys Mail servers

 

mail.hersheypa.com=64.9.50.207

sweetmail.hersheypa.com=64.9.50.195

 

It doesnt all add up to me

 

I have done some more digging and that same Brian Smith is listed as a web manager for Golden pear web management in lebanon which is rougly 5 miles down the road. Here is the whois for golden pear and the weblink. They also take care of itickets.com. I am not sure this is hershey yet. Heres the link to golden pear

^ What if HP did contact this Brian Smith guy to create a hoax site for their new attraction? Then we really don't know if this info we're getting is real.

[CoasterEricHP]

If it wasnt Lebanon I'd be a lot more suspicious.. but who would seriously waste this much time making a fake site if it really doesn't have anything to do with a 2008 attraction? Let alone register and pay for a domain name?

For them 9.27, you 9.26.

 

more later.

 

 

 

 

I found out what the 'For them 9.27, for you 9.26' riddle means. I sent an e-mail to info@hersheypa.com and actually asked them if they had any relation with this nantimi site... i got this as a reply...

 

Hi David - thanks for your interest in Hersheypark. As I hope you can understand, it is our company policy not to discuss our vendors and partners.

 

We appreciate your interest and hope you will stay tuned as we prepare to unveil exciting information about what's new at Hersheypark. We have press conference scheduled for Sept. 27th when all of the details will be unveiled.

So we might not have to wait untill 10.02.07 after all!

[TexTitan01]

oooooooohhh...intriguing

 

 

wait...Sept 27th? I thought it was oct. 2nd....Well, if the people @ Hershey say its Sept. 27th, I guess its the 27th and not the 2nd...

 

Either way...c'mooon Intamin Hyper...

[coasterdude5]

^ That's what I still don't understand... what's with the 27th date?

 

This park's got me confused...

[Cheesey]

^I think that's the idea.

 

New site update:

 

9.12.07

NANTIMI HIRES WEB SECURITY DEVELOPER

Donan Michael, formerly with Hibernate Systems in Boston, has accepted the position of Web Security Developer. He comes to us with twenty years of security and encryption expertise, starting with his post-graduate work on the IAB Privacy Task Force. His landmark paper on Privacy-enhanced Electronic Mail, completed in 1987, helped define many of our modern-day encryption standards. Donan graduated from Grinnell College in 1982 with a Ph.D. in physics. His favorite colors are silver and orange.

 

Silver and Oragnge huh? Possible colors for the new ride? Or pure idiotic speculation on my part? Guess we'll all find out on 9/27 (or for some of us 9/26 )

[FeelTheFORCE]

[Homer]

This thread now has more plot twists than an episode of 24. I still think the site is a hoax, but with that bump up to 9/27, I'm thinking Hershey is toying with us.

 

To the dude behind Natimi, more kudos.

[coasterdude5]

Wait...

 

It says "So you think the Boardwalk was hot in 2007?"

 

So this will this tie into the waterpark?

 

Watch it be a speed slide, haha...

[natatomic]

 

My theory?

 

Thermometer: The Ride

[Ccron10]

Something tells me it has to with fire. Silver and Orange? The HP e-mail reply. $12.1 million. "but now it's time to Extinguish all the rumors". The website has to be with Hershey and they must be leading us in the wrong direction or theiy are giving the fans (us) some hints.
