^I second that. I might be going 2 or 3 times at that too.

I checked out the Nantimi site and found that funky email thing too, although I hadn't emailed it yet. Even if the site is a fake, which I'm beginning to think it is, with all you guys have found out, someone is actively updating it. But who? My bf said they are taking Chute out apart, but whether to move or get rid of, he hasn't heard for sure. He gets different answers from different people.

Just to clear this up, but the Great Bear Constellation does not only contain 7 stars. Yes, the Big Dipper constellation we all know of contains 7 stars, but there are also several other stars that make up the Ursa Major (Great Bear) constellation. Take a look here.

So I don't really think Great Bear was named after the constellation or else it would have 18 or so elements, not 7. Hope that clears that up.

look at the logo

Um, the Big Dipper stars are not the only stars the make up the Great Bear constellation...As that picture shows you, there's a lot more than 7.

All I'm saying is that obviously the naming of The Great Bear has something to do with stars (the logo) or some constellation. Although i did read on wikipedia it was named for the loud noise the train makes going over the track. And we all know how reliable wikipedia is

What is with the twisted e-mail thing when you click on the markings on nantimi.com!!!!????!!!

Wow, you amaze me Dan. It blows my mind that you have that much of a hard on for me just to look for all my posts to find something to nit pick about.

And before you try giving me a hard time about something, I was going off info about the coaster. Regardless of how many stars may be in the constellation, it's obvious that the name of the coaster has to do with the constellation since the logo for the coaster has it in it.

And let me say, I'm very flattered that you're my E-stalker.

Methinks that you need more excitement in your life and are looking for conspiracy.... can't someone just be stoked about their home park??!! Lighten up and enjoy the ride!

Wait, it is September so an announcement can't be too far away.

yea hes getting annoying with all his accusations. he needs to lighten up and take the stick out of his...

^^On Hershey's site it says:

"10.02 Truth Revealed."

Maverick style ride anyone? With how popular it was, I'd be a good addition to the park and very popular.

There've been sitings of smaller versions of the banners in Midway America from what I've heard.

If Hershey is behind the Nantimi site, then they are either giving us coaster fans some clues or they are trying to throw us off. It's kind of fun waiting for new tidbits of news each day!

Maybe Maverick style without the launch, considering they already have Stormrunner. I think just an Intamin Hyper would be cool like S:ROS or Expedition G-Force. A top ten style ride.

Hyper - Now that would be deeming of respect. I'm still going to be a baby and complain about Maverick chopping my neck up for quite awhile until I can do CP to allow it to redeem itself. Would I really want to see that in a Top 10 ride? Lapbars could possibly save it.

Okay lets take a step back and look at the park for a sec.
1. They have 4 woodies.
2. They have a standard looper.
3. They have a B&M invert.
4. They have a one of a kind launch/terrain/Intamin coaster.
5. They have a roller soaker/coaster.
6. They have a mine train kind of coaster.
7. They have a boomerang coaster.
8. They have a wild mouse coaster.
(Sorry if I missed any coasters, I'm kinda tired)

They have a good lineup, and they don't have much room. I do not think they will spend their time or money on a 10 looper by Intamin. I do not think that they will get a flyer. Far too expensive, and those take up a lot of room. If they were smart, they'd put in a mini hyper. They only have one B&M coaster, and it'd be nice to have another in the lineup. Then they'd have basically one of every kind of coaster. (Basic, not flyer, spinner, etc. . . )
You guys get what I'm saying?

they have lots of room for future expansion. infact 18 holes of room... minus the holes that will be used for parking lots

Why would they remove a Golf Course?

Some letters on the Nantimi site's Portfolio link are now grayed out. TFLI

^If you rearrange those letters they spell LIFT. Just thought I'd say that.

Don't forget about the new employee lot across the street on the old airstrip. They could remove the old one and put the coaster there and on WCO's site. I just think it would be something too big to do in one season.

The Website has added some information, see below.

Don't you think the way they explain stuff is unprofessional more like a blog.......

NANTIMI ANNOUNCES MAJOR DEAL WITH HERSHEYPARK
Nantimi Design will conceptualize and execute website creative for the 2008 attraction at Hersheypark. Executives at Hershey Entertainment & Resorts have disclosed branding initiatives though project design and specifications remain proprietary. Initial estimates put the project at $12.1 million.

^ at 12.1 million I guess that puts Intamin out as the only coaster they build that cheap (yeah 12.1 million is cheap and if any park wants to give that away please email me and I will drive to you to get it) is a prefab woody, which wouldn't be bad... A small B+M or does Vekoma still make coasters...

idk but from what i heard i think they have already closed the golf course (can anyone confirm this) what their plans are again from what ive heard on other sites is to use some of it for parking for the giant center, and they cant use the whole thing for parking so my guess is that they will expand the park probably not in the near future tho maybe in like 2010 or something

Golf course was closed last year I think...not sure if they would use that for parking as you'd have to cross a street....unless they could close the street.

I was at Hershey yesterday and noticed that one of the signs that said 10.02.07 Truth Revealed also had a sign that said "Wait Time Approximently 10 Months From this" Point in a style similar to those found in ques.
