Thrillrider15 Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 List all the names of coasters, Parks, ride companies, etc., that you've mispronounced. They do have to do with amusement parks, or rides. I'll start off.

steel Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Vekoma:Is it like Vee-coma....or like Va-coma? I've never been sure if the e is long or short.... Neither. It's more like "vay-COMB-uh" The "vay" is a cross between "va" and "vay," but it's a little more "vay." Sort of like "veh." I mispronounced Tatsu until yesterday. I was saying "TAT-soo." with an "a" as in "apple" Geauga Lake went through a lot. First it was "goo-AY-gah (I don't know how I got that)," then it was "gee-AH-gah," with a hard "g," as in "goat." Now I'm right. Space Mountain. Yeah, that isn't true... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
