Hershey Teasing 2008 Attraction

Yes.

Such as???

what happened?

Well... last night I get an e-mail from nantimi saying I was selected for Phase XI and I would receive further instructions at precisely 10:30 tonight.

Tonight, got another e-mail telling me to send an e-mail to natalie@nantimi for a password. So I actually did guess something right in this process. I was told to go to the nantimi page, use my e-mail as client login and insert the password I was sent from "natalie." The password was activated at 11:00.

Kicked you into another screen where it showed a no limits type POV of the ride. At precisely 11:11, boom, black goes the screen. I had thought to try saving it, but it wouldn't save. So for 11 minutes, I and others I'm sure, got to check out the video.

Are you going to tell us what the POV looked like? Did it look remotely real at all?

http://www.nantimi.com/coasterVid.swf A link to the video from their site, and if it goes down, I saved the page http://www.coasterdom.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/coastervid.swf

I liked it. And now with Coasterdom posting, you get to see it only half an hour after the 25.

We still don't have a name or stats, and still don't know exactly how it's going to fit in. So it's not like they spoiled tomorrow's announcement. But I like it. I'm sure some on here won't, but I also think there's no pleasing some of the "experts" on here anyway.

woohoo!! Thanks Coasterdom.

I can't tell if that is a sketchy/preliminary POV or a really fake "announcement". ha ha!! Parts of it just look really unrefined like support columns REALLY close to the track. I hope this isn't the real POV they intend to market the ride with. I'm thinking it's either a fake or a preliminary video that will be close to the real thing.

Pretty sweet. Yeah, there's still a lot that the announcement will reveal tomorrow, so this was a nice preview.

I think it looks really awesome, BUT, I don't see how all the clues we have figured out have lead to this..... I mean, didn't we solve a silver and orange clue? I saw orange, but not silver. And I also didn't see any relations to the HOT and COOL clues posted by Hershey. I guess this will all be answered when they announce the name of the ride......

Pretty sweet. Yeah, there's still a lot that the announcement will reveal tomorrow, so this was a nice preview.

The train looks silver. The track looks orange. Maybe there's some theme materials not in the video that relate to the hot/cold clues? Maybe this was just a big diversion and the ride is totally different? I can't wait until noon. :)

What is it!??
Both links don't work for me :(

You need to find a flash video player for the one off of my site. The "official" one is now down.

The link was to a sort of unpolished POV animation of the coaster, J7G3. Not much background, etc. But it does correlate to the puzzle picture, as far as the elements go.

Looked like a vertical chain lift, greater than 90 degree first drop, the Norwegian loop thing, the cobra roll, couple of other rolls, a few dips and turns. I counted 6 inversions in all, but I can't be sure. Seems like a compact ride as well.

Again, what they showed was not much compared to the detail of the Maverick POV. But I don't think this is the "finished" product, I'm sure in twelve hours, we'll see much more and much better.

On another site people are talking about an E-mail sent by HERCO titled "Nantimi". Did anyone recieve that on here? PLEASE share!

Yeah, I did. This is part of what it said. And believe me, I checked the IP address. Looks legit.

Congratulations, you must have friends in high places.

You and 10 others are being offered one of the first rides on the 2008 attraction at Hersheypark.

Thank you,

I think my curiosity is satisfied until tomorrow. 12 pm is 9 pm on the Pasific, right? I'll be sure to check in for the real announcement.

It's 12 Noon, eastern time. that's 9 AM Pacific Coast Time, Lee.

My bad. Thanks.
