How do you guys prnounce it?

[RCTfangirl]

I'm just curious how the following names are pronounced. Well all of these are European companies so the names may be pronounced differently than spelt.

"Vek-oh-mah"?
"Vik-oh-mah"?
"Vek-com-uh"?

"Int-em-in"?
"Int-ah-min"?
"In-ah-min"?

"Zam-par-luh"?
"Zam-per-lah"?

"Bol-liger and Mabil-lerd"?
"Bo-liger and Meb-il-lard"?

[Timberhawk]

Va-kom-uh
Int-uh-min
Zam-per-luh
bowl-eh-ger (and) ma-bill-ard

I'm not sure if my B&M pronouncation is right, but I'm pretty sure my other three are.

[Cedar Point]

Vik-oh-muh
Int-uh-min
Zam-per-luh
bah-lig-ur (and) ma-bill-ard

I pronounce Intamin (mostly), Zamperla and Mabillard the same way as you, but I pronounce Bolliger and Vekoma differently.

Bolded words changed to my pronunciation.

[thetrooper]

I thought the "ll" in "Mabillard" were silent...

[SnooSnoo]

Veh - coma

In - tuh - men

The other two.. I've heard so many different versions..

Actually, I posted my pronounciation of Intamin and Vekoma wrong, but it's fixed now.

Turns out I pronounce Intamin the same way.

[GOLIATHpov]

"Vek-com-uh"
"Int-Uh-min"
"Zam-per-lah"
"Boll_ig_er and _Mab_I_ard"

[SnooSnoo]

Bowl - ing - er and Mab - e -yard


There we go. :P

[thetrooper]

Mab - e -yard

Yeah...that's what I was getting at.

[RCTfangirl]

Is anyone here Swiss? The double L's are silent right in the language for all words?

My friend who's from Rothwell, England pronounces Intamin "In-ah-min"

And is Maurer Sohne pronounced "Mow-er Soon" or "Mau-ra Sone". I have a friend who's German, he says its "Mau-er Soon"

[David Ellis]

Here's my best go....

Ve Koh mer
Inta Min
Zam Perl ah
Boll igger and Ma bee arr

(I agree that in the French parlance, the double L is almost like a Y, and I think the last D is almost silent)

David.

I just remembered that one of my teachers at school is from Switzerland. I can ask her how its pronounced on Monday.

And yes, in French the D is often silent. I know because I studied french back in grade 8 and elementary school.

[disneyland123]

I pronounce Vekoma as Veh-koh-mah, and B&M as Ball-i-ger and Ma-bil-ard.

Intamin for me = In-tam-in

My friend's nephew pronounces Intamin as In-te-meen, for some reason.

[BoRJoYZeE]

Veh - coma


:haha:

[KingVeveraine]

IN - ta - min, see just break the work down and you get the pronunciation!

Al thought my friend says In - at - ar - min which is really off.

Ver - Koe - Mer. You can tell I'm british :p.

Gerst - lo -er.

Zam-Parlour

B-a-nd-M ;)

[SnooSnoo]

Gurst - l - ow - er.

Emphasize the 'ow' instead of saying 'low.' I've saw some videos from the people who run the company and that is how they say it. :)

I think it's "Maur-ha-soon-ay" Atleast that's what I heard on the promo vids for their rides.

[RCTfangirl]

What about Schwarzkopf?

"Schwartz-koff"?
"Swartz-koff"?

I tend to say "Gurst - l - ew - er".

And yes you can just say "B-and-M" if you are embarassed about messing up pronounciations!

[WickedTwist]

I don't know why but I pronounce Intamin as int-ah-nam (rhymes with vietnam).

[. Style .]

Ve-coma
In-tah-min
Zam-peh-la
Bol-li-ger & Ma-billi-ard

Fine :mad:
The chase is better than the catch anyway...

[RCTfangirl]

I just realized that i had abit of chinese accent in my pronounciation.

I say it more like "In-tuh-mun" (stressing the 'tuh') and "Zam-pe-lah" (stressing the "l" sound)
