Read more on the KIBlog Post: https://www.visitkingsisland.com/blog/2020/january/co-designer-of-the-beast-jeff-gramke-retires-from-kings-island I wonder who will replace him and how this might impact the park? What are your thoughts? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIghostguy Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 It was a true honor to meet with Jeff Gramke back in October and interview him for my book. He’s a true living legend! He told me that he was retiring in the coming months, but I didn’t know exactly when. I hope he has a very happy retirement! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Tbh I saw this coming. He sorta hinted at it when the media got to tour the Orion site. He'll be missed and I wish him and his family the best as he moves onto this next chapter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bdd127 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Jeff is an awesome guy, he deserves a great retirement after helping to build one of the greatest rides and parks in the world. In 2011 I took my first trip to the park and through some emails was able to meet and get a tour with Jeff. Learning all he taught me helped cement me as the enthusiast and future engineer I am today. I'm sure he will be missed greatly. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMC01 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I learned a lot from that article! Though I haven't met him personally, I wish him the best in his future endeavors. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
