KIghostguy Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Richard Fussner passed away on Monday at the age of 91. He was Kings Island's first Director of Loss Prevention, from 1972 to 1988. If you've ever had a safe day at Kings Island, you have Mr. Fussner to thank. Mr. Fussner wrote almost all the safety and first-aid policies and procedures at Kings Island during the time he was there. Writing and setting all these types of procedures was unheard of in the amusement industry in 1972. Many of these standards and procedures were adapted by amusement parks nationwide, and some are still in use at the park today. Mr. Fussner also invented the Fun & Safety Guide, which was adapted by IAAPA for international use in 1987. After he left Kings Island, he started a consulting business and worked with amusement parks all over the world helping with safety industry-wide. He loved to talk about his time at Kings Island, and in my opinion, he was one of the most underrated people in Kings Island's history. He leaves behind an incredible legacy not only at Kings Island, but in the entire amusement park industry. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
