They would have, but they could have still decided to keep it open. Now with Apollo buying CF, Apollo will be cutting spending everywhere. And you think removing Son of Beast will not have a HUGE cost? Who owns Kings Island will have very little, if any, effect on the decision to remove/repair/let stand but not operate Son of Beast. Well, if not removed, it's going to be SBNO. Repairing the ride will just cost more than SBNO or removing it.

They would have, but they could have still decided to keep it open. Now with Apollo buying CF, Apollo will be cutting spending everywhere.

So you want them to remove SoB, and the park will be perfect? Edit: SoB will have to be removed now, because Apollo will have to look at its history to make a decision.

Most people would think it's already screwed up... just look at the bottom left corner.

I can't drive. I'm only 13!

The turnaround looks intimidating (bad pun, I know). I really hope I get a Platinum pass so I can ride this next year.

I meant besides any of that. The unitholders must agree to it, so if they do, they can't say anything. But what about the people who don't agree?

It all depends on the unitholders if the sale goes through though!

For those who think Mr. Kinzel will still be controlling Cedar Fair's destiny, read that quote again. And again. Freud would tell us that Mr. Kinzel just indicated he will not be controlling the future at Cedar Fair. IF this happens. In relatively unguarded moments, or the right context, true feelings leak out. Just in case some people didn't notice.

I'm pretty sure he has said that no one knows.

Fixed the weaknesses list. I'm pretty sure KI will still be a CF park, just owned by Apollo because they haven't owned any other parks/park chains before.

...which means...nothing. ALL acquirers always say that. Dick Kinzel said the same thing about the Paramount Parks management when they bought it. Most...are gone. But that doesn't mean nothing anything either. It all depends on what they are trying to do.

I still have some hope. It is possible that Apollo and their chariot (yeah, I stole that from Terpy, but he didn't use it in his last post) can do well.

^Maybe because it's important?

Edited. Thanks! So what you're saying is that CF will no longer exist?

So, what happens to CF's current debt? The first article link posted said: So, does that mean CF will be out of debt, plus they will recieve about $700 million? Thus, in total, it is a buy of about $2.3 million? That seems like an awful lot of money. Also, does this include all CF parks, or will CF keep control of some like CP? *Waiting on a 'yes' answer. Edit: also from the first article: No, it's just the $700 million. The $1.6 billion is the debt that will be carried over. CF will still be in debt Apollo Investment Corp. will then be in debt. (Thanks Terpy!) I just couldn't wait for Terpy to say yes!

Rest in peace.

If you search "Cedar Fair sale", you can find the full version of the article Terpy is talking about. I'm still surprised.

I hope they will just be handling the debt. They shouldn't touch the parks unless they need to cut spending. If they take over management of individual parks, then we may as well start crying/rioting because it will likely be as bad as CBS or worse.

I predicted Planet Snoopy would happen. In my Indy Central park thread... I was only off by a few months!

Didn't CP do that a few years back with Snoopy?

I started this thread to show what we find on KI's website about new food, offers, etc. This is for 2010 birthday parties. Also, this is the link for group performances. This is the more interesting one out of these two.

I think the title is meant to be read as "Disney to phase out some promotions".

You can watch "A Charlie Brown Christmas" here, just so you know. Edit: Whoops, forgot I already posted.

This is from wikipedia (so take it for what that's worth), but it addresses what you said: This more specifically answers my question:
