Ride Op Not In The Loop

Whilst visiting Dreamworld last Wednesday, enthusiast Andrew Jones took advantage of a rare opportunity: correcting a ride op. Whilst waiting for Dreamworld’s looping coaster Cyclone to be dispatched, the ride op nonchalantly announced over the PA: “Make sure you smile for the cameras between the two loops!”

At hearing this, the vigilant enthusiast shrieked: “The first inversion is a reverse sidewinder! What are you, an idiot?”

“Guest relations will most certainly be hearing about this”, added the enthusiast. “If she thinks she can get away with this incontestable act of ignorance, then I’m sorry, but she is gravely mistaken.”

When questioned about the incident, ride op Jessica Carter commented: “Yeah, he did yell at me. When I saw he was wearing a Tower of Terror shirt, had numerous pimples and was unaccompanied, I kind of felt bad for him, and so I didn’t really mind the insults. The other ops and I just laughed at him for a while, and then forgot about it.”

Enthusiast Jones has been hailed by other members of the coaster community, who say ride operators should ‘get these things right’. “These people don’t get paid $9 an hour to make up crap like that”, said Dean Papanonoroes, a coaster enthusiast. “I think this person should definitely be sacked”, added the lowlife.

AAL is currently attempting to contact Dreamworld management about the incident.
