(1874-1927)
A pioneer and leading visionary in the design of amusement rides and parks, his Figure-8 coasters and other inventions were found across the US. He launched his chain of brightly illuminated Luna Parks in Pittsburgh's Oakland neighborhood in 1905, which inspired other Luna Parks around the world. He built and operated some of Kennywood's first rides, such as the Old Mill, and four coasters, including the park's first Racer.| HM Number | HM2G2X |
