CoastersRZ Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 If I`m not mistaken, Zimmerman is one of, if not the only, GM level and higher up executives that were part of Paramount Parks when the Cedar Fair acquisition happened that is still with Cedar Fair today. Interesting that it took Cedar Fair so long to name a new COO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leland Wykoff Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 It would appear the Board at Cedar Fair delayed the appointment of a new COO until such time as the new CEO hire occurred in order to give the Mr. Ouimet the opportunity to put his own team into place. His tenure with Paramount Parks makes this a most interesting development. In the most positive sense. Like Mr. Ouimet, Mr. Zimmerman has operations and finance experience. The new team, and the bright new days at Cedar Fair, seem to be dawning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
