Is the wrong answer.If someone is dumb enough to jump a fence in to a ride area, that's their problem. Instant Darwin Award, one less moron in the world.
That's the Tube though. This is concerning what should be an immersive theme park, not public transport!Any commuter on the Tube will see them at the end of the carriages, and most railway stations have them
We could argue forever, but the fact of the matter is that signs of this blunt a nature, with no theming effort put in at all, and them being located far too close to each other don't belong in a theme park like Alton Towers!It's still quite disconcerting on the tube, to young families who may be going on a day/evening out. Don't use this door as you might die.
Who has ever seen a themed fire escape sign?
They are not going to detract from anybody's experience and it is just highlighting that these are dangerous machines and you should keep to the assigned pathways.
That should be obvious to anyone except those to young / stupid / mentally challenged to be able to read. The only people who wouldn't realise ride areas are dangerous will not be able to understand the signs! Thus they are pointless.They are not going to detract from anybody's experience and it is just highlighting that these are dangerous machines and you should keep to the assigned pathways.
Perhaps the word 'death' has been used on purpose - that's the word that potentially makes someone think twice about entering a restricted area. Or perhaps it doesn't, these things are more about back covering than actual prevention.If someone is going to be stupid enough to climb over a fence then some signs really isn't going to stop them. Towers already had their backs covered with the previous "danger, ride area, keep out" signs.
For the vast majority of guests they just make the park look like a more dangerous place. Not the most appealing look for parents with young children.
Air has a theme?That's the Tube though. This is concerning what should be an immersive theme park, not public transport!
Surely the point of these signs is that there isn't a run of fencing that you can hop without a sign being in view?The more these signs are plastered everywhere, the less people will pay attention to the warnings. If these signs were rare, they would get noticed. If anything, this many signs is counter productive.
The odd one here or there may be ok. However the are plastered everywhere a few meters apart from each other.
That should be obvious to anyone except those to young / stupid / mentally challenged to be able to read. The only people who wouldn't realise ride areas are dangerous will not be able to understand the signs! Thus they are pointless.
I notice them, The amount of times I have complaind to my local Odeon..! once you notice them then thats it, it just grates and niggles at you and winds you up. Even if they dimmed the light but no, A great big green lit sign and spotlight shining on the door. Bit like these signs now, See one and you will notice and be looking for them all.At the end of the day, we see these signs everywhere with fire escapes and so on. Who has ever seen a themed fire escape sign? They are always kept lit up in cinema screenings, which you would think would be a distraction, but you just don't notice them.

From that very same article:Did anyone read about the incident on Batman at Six Flags over Georgia:
http://www.foxnews.com/story/2008/06/29/teen-decapitated-by-batman-ride-at-georgia-six-flags.html
Six Flags officials are uncertain why 17-year-old Asia Leeshawn Ferguson of Springfield, South Carolina scaled two six-foot fences and passed signs that said the restricted area was both off-limits and dangerous to visitors,
That's exactly it. There's no way they can put surveillance on every single little bit of ride area, so if someone was stupid enough to climb over AT can say there were ample warnings and therefore they are not liable for the accident.If someone did jump the fence and get splattered then AT are covered as they have warned you.
