Enthusiast “Isn’t That Funny In Real Life”

When coaster enthusiast George Oliver, 17, met up with fellow enthusiast Mike (known as ‘coasterseffingrock’ on forums), he was expecting it to be a hysterical affair. The two met on the forums of Roller-Coaster.com.au, and frequently chatted on popular instant messaging client ‘Yahoo Messenger’, where George noted Mike’s ability to make witty and sometimes random jokes.

“Mike was hilarious on the internet,” said Oliver, in an AAL exclusive interview. “He would always make jokes about Cyclone, and about the ineffectiveness of Tower of Terror’s themeing. Sometimes he even made random comments; for example, one time we were talking about George Bush’s influence on the crime rate in America, and Mike said ‘McNuggets’. How random is that?”

When the duo met in real life, however, it was apparent that Mike really isn’t that funny.

“When we started talking at Dreamworld, there were no Cyclone jokes, no Dreamworld themeing jokes, and no random comments,” alleged Oliver, whilst shaking his head in disbelief. “He really wasn’t that funny in real life - I should have seen it coming. It was too good to be true.”

Mike however, said he thought the meeting went well, and expressed plans to meet up with George in future. “We had a great time,” he said. “George is actually a lot funnier in real life than he is on the net.”
