Went today, and it was...rough. 4 rides were closed all day, and a few others had long delays. At least I managed to see both shows

"Being pregnant" is a condition that a person can be in
My point is, as I mentioned -- the grammar of it all.
Not at all a statement about those who are pregnant excluding themselves from riding the ride.
Of course "pregnancy" is a "condition." It is a "state of being," that is, a "condition."
But "Pregnant Mothers" isn't a "condition," it's a "class."
No one ever says, "Oh, do you have the condition of 'Pregnant Mother'"? Instead, we say, "Oh, are you pregnant?"
The sign doesn't say "being pregnant." It says "...persons with the...condition: ...Pregnant Mothers."
The point it wants to make it makes by using bad grammar.
Are you all secretly aliens or A.I. bots having trouble with colloquial language?

I'm still waiting for all the complaints of the mist it forms when there's a strong breeze...
I went to an American school. It helped.Oh, I didn't realize you had the condition of Non-Native Speakers.

The area is one of the hottest in central Florida. It could definitely use some mist.

Obviously they meant if you are a child, and your mother is pregnant, you shouldn't ride. Then the sign makes sense!

the signs are also laid out exactly the same and use the same verbiage as the attraction signs at USF and IOA.
Oh, so they like repeating their mistakes. Got it.
We're nitpicking sign verbiage now. And typos that will obviously get fixed. This is what it has come to, huh?
It's Florida, I'll gladly take the mist. You get the poo wind.

Atleast its filtered & chlorinated clear water, super tempting to jump in and swim in it on a hot day.

I take it you never visit regional parks at all. The signs at those parks are similar.
Most guests probably don't care that the language on a sign is not proper.
My suggestion is those that are nit picking things like this, go back to The Mouse.

So Universal is the equivalent of a poorly run regional park even though they pay an entire staff of lawyers and graphic artists to put together warning signs?

Expecting signs to be printed without error is nitpicking? Besides, Disney has also had errors on their printed signs too.
Yo, but it's not just the consumers that are nitpicking. Internal teams have to deal with this nonsense and it causes headaches. During Team Member previews, every duplicate sign posted at the park entrance near security had a typo with double wording ("the the"). That's extra money coming from some budget to fix. I assume these signs have been fixed, but I haven't been since March.
And I don't even know if this has been posted in this thread, but this screenshot comes from a vlogger's video capture.
One or two typos? Fine. But we are seeing quite a few at this rate. And, in my opinion, brings into question the level of care that has truly gone into this park.

Regional parks are not poorly run at all. Dollywood is run very well and use the same language same with Knotts.
My point is while it it's not worded properly, most guests don't make that big a deal about it.

You’re the one who proclaimed a low standard of not caring about safety and then said it’s what regional parks do.

This. There are entire people whose entire job is creating the signage for these parks. It’s not somebody’s side gig between doing other tasks. It’s considered so important that graphics and signage is often its own distinct drawing package. Warning signs are then a further step above being defined on their own because they go through even more development and coordination with even more teams (operations, safety, legal, the manufacturer, etc). They are absolutely not something just whipped up by someone.
