steel Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 ^It's pretty much the way it looks. SHWORTS-kopf or SHVORTS-kopf BTW, this is my frame of reference for the pronounciation of Geauga Lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XII Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Dodopana Kraken Knobels Bobbejeanland Geauga Lake I thought it was pronounced like "Gwaga Lake" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterlover420 Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Geauga is actually pronounced----Jee AH guh----I heard stuff about Geauga County when I was at CP. And at first I mispronounced Tatsu. I said TAAt su, but it's like tot-soo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARK Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I said Int-a-min was Int-aah-min, but then I heard some peoples on a video say it different. I still think Int-aah-min sounds stronger than int-a-min. I also used to pronounce Bolliger and Mabillard as Bolliger and Mallibard, but then I actually looked at it and corrected myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Gerstlauer: GERST-laow-er Just to clear things up, "Bolliger and Mabillard" is NOT pronounced... "BAHL-ih-jer and MAB-ill-ard." It is pronounced... "BAHL-ih-ger and MAB-ee-yard" Hard "g" in "Bolliger." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParkTrips Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Mow-wer sohn made Pandemonium, correct? Of course regional dialects make it hard to express pronunciations in leters and syllables. We could all be saying things correctly but misrepresenting on "paper" I can correctly promounce (and spell!)

Louise Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Like Jow said, things like Bolliger & Mabillard are always gonna sound different in different accents. There are several words that when said with a British accent just sound damn weird, but it sounds even weirder if we try to Americanise them. Pretty much the same as others: I had NO clue how to pronounce "Geauga" until I heard it on In The Loop. And until I heard Elissa say it correctly, I'd always assumed it was "Can-OH-bie", rather than "CAN-oh-bie", which I now have confirmed from Mr Canobie Fan himself, I think, if I read his post here correctly. Nicole, I'm never sure if it's Too-sen-FREED, or Too-sen-FRID. I think FREED. (Weirdest looking post ever.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrillrider15 Posted May 1, 2006 Author Share Posted May 1, 2006 Maybe I can put it in these words. For when you first glance at a word that you don't know how to pronounce, your brain sometimes filters some of the stuff out of the word, or sentence. It could be a letter, a word, or a pronunciation. Here's an example: For what I'm going to show you is a sentence. In order for this to work, you have to skim the sentence, or read it quickly. Don't take your time on this. So here it is: My grandmother went to the the store to buy some groceries. If this worked correctly, you shouldn't have noticed that there were two "the" words, in the sentence. As said before, it is the way the brain works that makes this happen. In another case, you try to pronounce a word that maybe has a K in it. You might not know if the K makes a K sound, or if it's silent. That's a different case. I hope this clears things out a bit.

Angry_Gumball Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 This also works if you just glance at it and read it quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scaparri Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Huss I have always pronounced it H(uh)ss, but I was informed last year when CP installed MaXair that it is actually pronounced like moose with an h. I don't know how much truth there is to that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkTrips Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 ^ I've always believed that the "moose" pronounciation comes from German dialect and is therefore probably how you are to pronounce it but I don;t think anyone will fault you for saying it the other way - just remember we are ignorant Americans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
