I have a little bit of an update on what’s going on around the Disneyland Resort lately, and some information on what will be going on at Disney’s California Adventure in the years to come.

Lets start with the Golden Gate Bridge in Disney’s California Adventure. The bridge will cease to be seen sometime next year when the entire Sunshine Plaza is closed off and rethemed.

Jake’s favorite time of the amusement park season is only three months away, and I’m not gonna lie, I’m stoked. Especially with some new information for the Halloween events that will be scaring the living daylights out of guests in October!

Well they sure are starting this coaster early and not really hiding it at all. The picture below clearly shows a water splash area for their next coaster. I’m putting my money on a B&M hyper, but there are a few other rumors floating out there. Take a look for yourself, what do you think is coming?

There have been rumors flying on the net, and I’m pretty sure Kevin mentioned this rumor on one of our podcasts, but Kings Island is “going” to be getting a hyper for 2009. Someone scanned in an image from the latest edition of the First Drop Magazine. I figured I would pass it along if you haven’t seen it yet.
It clearly shows the layout for KI’s hyper. I read a lot of coaster boards, and people seem to be really split if this is true or not. I’m going to …

Six Flags Great America’s Deja Vu has run for the last time. The Giant Vekoma Boomerang will not be operating at the mid-western amusement park in the 2008 season. The last rides were given to local ACErs on Sunday night.
It’s possible that the ride will be sold to another amusement park, like it’s brother that operated at Six Flags Over Georgia for the last time this season. At this point the only Deja Vu that has not been hit by the axe is the one operating at Six Flags Magic …

Since everyone has helped out with the Hershey announcement and all of the games, I figured I would let you in on the fun. Here is a link to the new coaster, and the announcement that should come tomorrow (it’s down). If you missed it, it was a No Limit’s video of the ride. Nothing super big deal, heck the announcement is only 12 hours away.
Now lets see how all of this plays out tomorrow and see if we have all been had (I don’t think we have though).

While this is totally unconfirmed and based solely off of some connections I have made, I have a feeling that Hershey’s new coaster is going to be named Afterburner. If you have been reading Nantiman’s blog there have been several references to flying and airports. Hershey’s site indicates that the theme will be heat, fire, or something else that is very hot. With all of the airport and plane talk on the blog and the heat information on Hershey’s site, I just tried to connect the dots. Afterburners are very …

I feel a bit like Charlie from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. If you haven’t been keeping up to date with Hershey news, apparently they selected 25 people to send pieces of a picture to. Hershey’s own little golden ticket hunt. I just checked my e-mail and I received one of the pictures. The title of the e-mail read 25, and the image file was named hp_r1_c5. You can see it below. If you follow this link, there are the other site’s that they sent pieces to. Apparently they sent …

After Jake’s post on the legitimacy of the Nantimi website, we got some interesting replies. In particular our last reply to date, #5, by M. Tinley. Which doesn’t sound like all that much except that the name also appears on the Nantimi website’s about page. There has also been a blog started by a Martin Tinley. Same names connecting all of this. While this really could be anyone using a fake name, thanks to the wonders of the internet, I can say for certainty that Hershey has a connection to …

So, I am under the impression that there are some of you out there that believe www.nantimi.com is both enthusiast made and bogus. Well I am here to prove you wrong.
For those of you who are unaware, I completed several of the “clues” that were on the nantimi website. Some of you would still say that it’s all an elaborate hoax. So let me explain what the last couple clues led me to do, and how I can prove that this is legit.
Firstly, there ws an email address on the …
