Mack Rides

How's it pronounced?

I have heard a few variations with different stress on the A and different k sounds on the end.

In interviews with Mack staff members, they usually say it "mahk" rides considering they are from Germany.

You pronounce it the same way as in America, only with a different A sound.

In this video you can here it twice during the first 10 seconds

That's interesting, actually. At first I would pronounce it with a hard A sound as in "bat" or "cat," but after hearing it somewhere, I've pronounced it like the word "mock." I guess the actual vowel sound used to correctly pronounce it is a German thing, as in the video it sounds a bit like both of the ways I've pronounced it.

Germans speaking English would pronounce it "Meck", I prefer "Bland"
