Tourist visits Luna Park, mispronounces ‘Melbourne’

Yesterday American tourist and avid coaster fan Aaron Dickson visited Luna Park Melbourne purposely to ride the Scenic Railway, sources reported. “To tell the truth it was pretty boring; probably not worth the trip to Melbourne. It was alright, just nothing special, and kind of rough,” professed Dickson. Dickson specifically planned his journey to Australia to include a trip to Melbourne, to ride the world’s oldest continually operating roller-coaster – The Scenic Railway, which has operated at St. Kilda since 1912.

Mr Dickson was then asked about the park's other roller-coasters. After recovering from laughter he replied “Good one, buddy. Oh, you’re serious? Uh, yeah, Metropolis is alright…" Mr Dickson then trailed off, and went into a fit of uncontrollable laughter.

Dickson will return to his home town Albuquerque next week.
