Herbert Paul Schmeck (born 1890 in Reading, Pennsylvania, died 1956) was an American roller coaster designer.
As a designer and president, the company became the most prominent manufacturer of roller coasters in the United States.
He continued to work with the Philadelphia Tobaggan Company assisting with the construction of coasters.
Despite no formal training as an engineer, Schmeck learned to design rides by studying blueprints and with his construction knowledge.
[1] Two of his designs, Phoenix at Knoebels' Amusement Resort, and Comet at The Great Escape have frequently been honored as two of the top ten roller coasters.
