Ever met an employee of a design firm at a park?

AFter reading the vekoma cheap thread i remembered that I met a B&M engineer at Dorney about 3 months after the debut of talon. He was dress in B&M clothes and was conbstantly riding all over the train without waiting. I talked to him for a couple minutes and he said he worked on Wildfire and Alpie. He said that Walter and Claude were extremely pleased with Talon and they would try to use some of Talon's great pacing in future designs. I thought this was pretty cool. Who have you met at parks?
I rode Roar with Mike Boodley, head of GCI :)

I've talked with Claude at the opening of Superman: Ultimate Flight at SFoG. I even got him to autograph my season pass. ;) lol

I had the good fortune to ride Hersheypark's Comet with the late John Allen in 1977. He had been hired to assess the condition of it and present recommendations to rebuild it. I will never forget that day!
