Alton Towers/Merlin Typos & Grammatical Errors

Yeah I'd like to watch Demark v England tomorrow.

 

[Zeock]

Yeah I'd like to watch Demark v England tomorrow.

That is poor, especially since the error could simply be corrected by using a spell-checker.

Good grief I hadn't spotted that, that's particularly bad because the incorrect spelling is very offensive slang for a disabled person.

This from the latest MAP email I've just received. I've read this a few times and I'm sure this inadvertently implies that you can go to any of the mentioned venues and events free of charge as long as you prebook - even if you are not a passholder!



Also interesting there is no mention of Thorpe Park! I wonder why!

Taken from the recent behind the scenes video of Hex. Picture of the new ride system control tablet. Armory acceptable (just) but officially in British English there is a U - Armoury. No excuse for the other one though!!

Bet they put those in just to annoy us enthusiasts

Must admit the texture of the background looks like the crypt wall texture in Planet Coaster!

I'm not sure Armory is acceptable in this case, as it is the given name of the room, as opposed to simply describing the room's function.

Captured in a very soggy Hyperia queue line. You're all slacking, especially @Zeock. How did it take anyone over 2 months to notice this one?

 

[Dhev123]

Not sure if mentioned already but stealth is still listed as the UK's fastest coaster on the thorpe website, when hyperia right next to it is 'record breaking' as the tallest and fastest

Not a typo per se, but I had an interesting one today when I received a response to a query from Alton Towers Guest Services.

In the email responding to my query, I was initially greeted by one name… but the email was signed off by a completely different name!

Unless the person responding to my query changed name midway through writing the email, I’m assuming this was a mistake!

Sorry to double post, but we have a new one from Thorpe Park:

When they say “plus experience an all-time in our brand new maze”, I’m guessing they’ve missed out a word there, and were meaning to say something like “an all-time first”.

Just found this run-on sentence that advertises an unforgettable character dining experience where guests can eat breakfast with Hex

I think the RSPCA will want a word with Sea Life Brighton about their spelling ability!

Someone didn't proofread the Chew Chew Smokehouse menu...

I wouldn't be surprised if that was more accurate than you'd suppose!

A few howlers from the latest Drop Bar menu

Arches should be Archers
Some double shots are more expensive than two single shots
Not strictly an error but that massive space below the one draught lager (what kind of bar only has one draught lager?).

 

[GooseOnTheLoose]

(what kind of bar only has one draught lager?).

Spoken by someone too young to ever have attended a Carling Academy.

I am actually old enough to remember most pubs having only one lager.
Plenty of bitter, mild, stout and porter though.
Then the tavern went card only...
