Geno Chamboredon got his start at Kennywood in 1980 as a teenager, running the Jack Rabbit roller coaster during summer. Forty-six years later, he’s still clocking in as a maintenance supervisor.

Younz all right Geno?

That's pretty great. I came in here just to acknowledge this gentleman. That tenure, anywhere, is pretty rare anymore.

Congrats to Geno.

It's shocking beyond words, especially given the mgt/ownership changes and financial struggles that park has gone through over the years

I think it’s awesome when a story like this surfaces and I get to say something like “Well, I have to have met that guy”. And in thinking about it, my first visit to Kennywood was probably 1980. I was quite taken with the park and especially (like all of us back then) their oldest coaster, Jack Rabbit. As a result I spent a lot of quality time on the ride and unless Geno had that week off, he sent me on my way to experience that famous double dip. Many times.

So congrats, Geno. Good job.
