LOST KENNYWOOD, PA -- Two long time Kennywood vets have been named to management positions in the park for the 2001 season. They both happen to be former members of the Lost Kennywood Crew bringing the total to 6 managers throughout the park. 

Stacy Grilley, a member of the 1998 and 1999 Lost Kennywood crews has been around the park for a number of years now. She got her start in rides working on the recently removed Le Cachot. Grilley was a solid addition to Lost Kennywood in 1998. During her two years on the staff, her contributions helped make Lost Kennywood the premier crew in the park. She also picked up the name "Grillmaster" in her tenure in Lost Kennywood.  In 2000, Grilley moved on to The Thunderbolt. After a successful 2000 campaign Stacy was named to The Thunderbolt management team for the year 2001. 

Nicole Brush, a member of the 2000 Lost Kennywood crew has also been a member of the park for a number of years. Brush originally started out in Kiddieland and moved over to the Auto Ride. After spending much of her time at the Auto Ride, Brush was moved to Lost Kennywood midway through the 2000 season. That move proved to be a good investment for both sides. Lost Kennywood added experience and Brush learned from The Lost Kennywood system. Kennywood has announced she will be the manager at the Auto Ride this season. The Exterminators Chris Biagerelli also moves down to The Auto Ride to be the assistant.

These two now join a group that includes; Mandy Bracco, Sara Hurd, Chuck Pruss, and Chris Snyder that are managers who are alumni to The Lost Kennywood crew. 

Mandy Bracco, who spent much of 2000 with The Lost Kennywood crew will be taking the reigns as manager of the Turnpike this season. Returning as The Exterminator manager will be Sara Hurd. This will be her second year as manager and third year on that crew. She previously spent 2 seasons on The Lost Kennywood crew. Chuck Pruss will start his first full season as manager at Noah's Ark. After spending much of 2 seasons in Lost Kennywood, Pruss was promoted to manager at the Ark midway through the 2000 season. Finally Chris Snyder will be the manager at The Merry Go Round. This is also his first full year as manager on The Merry Go Round. Chris spent parts of the 1999 and 2000 seasons in Lost Kennywood. 

The Lost Kennywood crew wishes all of these fantastic alumni good luck in the 2001 season.
