Kennywood inspector makes screams come true

Posted | Contributed by Jeff

Kennywood Park's Thunderbolt roller coaster has rumbled and rattled thrill-seekers since 1924, plummeting 95 feet at highway speeds on a lattice of birch timbers. Keith Kuzma affectionately calls those the "nuances" of the creaky coaster he mends early each day with new bolts, timbers and grease -- lots of grease -- before thousands of people flood the historic West Mifflin amusement park.

A nice article about a person who is a good friend of mine.
He is a nice guy who is good at what he does and takes it very serious.

Thanks for posting it Jeff.

yea i agree with you i work at kw now and kuzma is awesome and takes great care of a great ride.

Whatever happened to Gino Chamberdone and Brian Bartley. The guys who fell down the tracks on Kennywood Memories. I still laugh at that when I see it.

Very nice article. Rode the thing yesterday and he's got it running in top form.

If you read the article then you'd have found out that Geno is the shop foreman now.

Who remembers that big fat guy falling down the thunderbolt when he slipped inspecting it. It was on Kennywood Memories.

There are people on this board (myself included) that know Geno.

^^ I wouldnt make it public knowledge about knowing Geno.. :)

JK..him and Kuz are great guys.

Brian Bartley is the head of maintenance now.

I dare you to say that to Geno's face. Especially during a Penguin game. 'Rackets' is all aces for the park.

^^ Who?

If it was me I was just kidding.I like Geno,just dont like his cigars(if he is still smoking them) :)

Actually, those ones he smokes don't smell too bad. They're cherry scented or something like that.
