Cyclone Defaced

In a heartless act of vandalism, today Brisbane youth Russel Watson scratched his name into a seat on the Cyclone roller coaster at Dreamworld. The coaster, which is infamous for it’s roughness and boring layout, has lately become a popular target for vandalism.

“It was really rough and just generally crap, so I figured it deserved it some mindless destruction. I just put my initials in the seat, nothing too major. My mate Johnny wrote something really funny on another seat, but it’s probably too rude to tell,” commented Watson.

The incident has Dreamworld management worried about the fate of their second hand Arrow looping coaster. Dreamworld CEO Stephen Gregg commented: “Cyclone is one of the tallest high speed gravity roller coasters in the Southern Hemisphere - we can’t just have these rowdy teens vandalising it because they think its crap, I mean, what do they know about coasters? I guarantee if you ask any roller coaster enthusiast they’ll tell you Cyclone is marvellous; the best coaster in Australia. We just can’t have this kind of thing happen, it’s unacceptable”.

The offenders were ejected from the park, and will be allowed back in after their one week ban is lifted.
