Bad Grammar at Silverwood Theme Park

I was in the queue for Timber Terror and noticed an odd park rule: If you =don't= cut in line, then you'll be kicked out of the park.

All they had to do was leave the word, "No" out and it would have made sense.

Once again, important grammar lessons are learned the hard way.

And yes, the video is crap. I was trying to speak close to the mic to minimise the wind noise, so I couldn't see that I wasn't pointing the camera properly.

It isn't meant to say "No cutting in line will result in your removal from park." They are two different statements. One telling you not to cut in line, and the other saying that doing so will result in your removal from the park.

So you didn't bother to read all of the other comments where I explain that my comment it tongue-in-cheek? How many time do I have to explain this to people too lazy to think before they comment?

[selfdestructstarfuck]

notice how there's a line seperating the two?

As I've previously pointed out, a horizontal rule does not suffice.

The improper grammar is done purposely. They obviously need to make it as short as possible and still get the point across...

[mwproductions]

Actually, there are too many words on the sign. Removal of the word, "no," would fix the grammar (the necessity of including, "the," as the penultimate word is arguable).

Plus, have you ever stood in that line? You could easily read double that amount of text in the time you spend queued up.

@mwproductions Why the hell does it matter? It doesnt confuse me one bit. And yet you probably think your so cool cause you posted this.

Its funny because I've cut in line near that sign many times...lol

[kabelklan]

you know the lady that makes all of these signs is foreign...so the way she words them is whats proper grammar in her eyes...

Silverwood tends to have some quirky signs. In the same queue, there is a tree spitting out some wooden coaster track! In the one for Tremors, there are a few pictures of a guy holding onto his head advertising that you shouldn't stand up if you don't want your head to hit the tunnel.
