Alton Towers/Merlin Typos & Grammatical Errors

[Earthwürm]

Seeing as they've fixed the previous error I posted, I'll throw out this sentence on the Nemesis page that would be an odd sentence even if they had bothered to proofread and correct it.

I'm pretty sure @Matt N has mentioned this earlier in the thread.
Edit: He mentioned the main error in your passage on page 13.

Ah, cheers.
I did have a wee search, but it's a long list of errors at this point.

In that case, still not fixed!

If this error was known about so long ago, then why hasn't it been fixed? Just like the Nemesis track not being part monster as it has falsely stated for a while.

Genuinely, a primary schooler could write something more coherent and correct than that. Astonishing stuff.

Anyone else had the marketing email about the half term event that explains what’s included? Pleased to see it was proof read.

Yes - I’ve just received this.

Hopefully it gets recalled before people book in the hope of riding the coasters at this event!

I’ve got it as well. If people do book based on that there will be lots of complaints, but if they can’t even be bothered to read a few lines before sending it out then they deserve it

Towers management will be thrilled to see Disney finally following their lead on spelling and grammar:

New Indiana Jones Adventure Signage Continues Month of Misspelling Mishaps at Disneyland - WDW News Today

New signage indicating the closure of Indiana Jones Adventure continues a streak of grammar and spelling mishaps at Disneyland.

Merlin have always deemed themselves superior, and this new attempt by Disney to replicate iconic signage mishaps from ATR certainly cements that for me.

Astonishing is the word. I completely understand that some people aren't great with spelling and grammar, but I can't fathom why those people should be in charge of writing copy.

Just received this email.
“Don’t miss our on The Pirate Takeover”

16 pages of this thread and they’ve still not hired a proof reader?

Maybe they have, but they're just terrible.

Proof reading is a dying trade and very poorly paid for the expected level of education.
One of my punters has a daughter who has done it for years.
So even Merlin could afford a part timer!

They don’t need one, they have this thread

Fast track has just been posted about in the 2023 thread, and that's led me to another typo. Under Fast Track Gold, you can fast track the "Runway Mine Train"

Retheme imminent.
