Acknowledges major role of Kings Island. (Yes, you read that right).

Has some major errors: Racer did not open in 1971. Charlie Dinn did not design Son of Beast.

It also ends before the Weber-James Reid-Anderson era.

You are apt to learn a lot though:

But that was a very different Paramount Parks, back in the 2000 time frame.

Now, what if Cedar Fair had bought Six Flags instead of buying Paramount Parks? That also almost happened, in 2005.

Who would own Kings Island now? Who would own SeaWorld Entertainment? When would Dick Kinzel have retired? What of Blackstone? Apollo? Would Jack Falfas now run Cedar Flags or Six Fair? The mind boggles.

It almost happened as SIX emerged from bankruptcy. Right now, SIX is perceived by most as the stronger of the two. Then again, it was tiny Premier Parks that gobbled up much larger Six Flags last time...which didn't end well.

Monopoly? The two companies really have few locations where they compete.
