Gerry Menditto speaks here about the job of maintaining the Cyclone which just happens to be my all-time favorite rollercoaster ever. This short video is part of Thirteen’s NY On The Clock video series that profiles important people in and around NYC.
Gerry Menditto has been the operator of the Cyclone since the 70’s and has helped keep the 82-year-old rollercoaster from fading away. He’s done a good job too because the Cyclone is still one of the most thrilling rides you can get in the NYC area.
Jeff Sabold of Automotive Concepts recently dialed 911 to figure out where the heck he had driven to in his expensive Ferrari. It turns out that Jeff was under the influence of alcohol at the time and had parked his car over some train tracks while talking to a 911 operator. Sure enough, a train started barrelling towards him and Jeff had to watch as his Ferrari got trashed by an oncoming train.
Jeff was booked for DWI.
Listen to the audio transcript of the call above. Hilarious!
Those crazy Japanese. First they show us the world’s fastest stamper and now here’s the world’s quickest calculator operator. Seriously, what are they feeding these women at lunch?
