Yes, it will most likely destroy your old website's rankings. Why do you want to do this?

I agree with Tedster. If you want the site to be usable and ranked, don't use redirects. If you want to transfer it to a new domain use a immediate 301 permanent redirect. Redirect after some seconds is possible, but it is almost never good user experience or good for SEO.

If you're wanting to display some sort of interstitial message to visitors, you could always use a meta refresh for human visitors and a straight HTTP 301 redirect for bots.

Whatever you do, the old site will be toast. Searchengines index pages that return the "200 OK" HTTP status code.
