Paramount or Cedar Fair?

I personaly like Cedar Fair better because the park seems a lot better than in the paramount days

You might need to add some other options, as Paramount didn't operate the park very long (I'll let potential future contributors to this thread provide the details).

Like said time is of the issue. The Paramount pictures opened a park in Spain which is really working out. The company brung alot to KI and they brought the water park that I love (BB all the way!) which was all in a small time. Paramount brung so much, they even put KI on the natl map. If they were to stay up at KI the story may have been different for the company. Now also CF brung us new rides, and they gave us new places, but they did take away alot of what makes KI, BB, the old RT, and they gave us alot of copies of rides which was not a great move. So basically both did certain things for us, but Paramount gave us BB, CF took it away. BB1 who goes with the people that gave me a paradise!

i added more options

Paramount ride installations + 10 years = $50+ million dollars worth of Halloween Haunt attractions. That's all we have left from the Crypt and SoB.

There are elements of Kings Island that are far, far superior than the same elements in Paramount's Kings Island and vice versa. But in two name changes the park has seen no less than a half dozen separate owners who brought with them their own goals, preferences, rules, atmospheres, and agendas. Under Paramount, Viacom, and CBS, the parks were one branch of a multi-billion dollar corporation whose various arms had different levels of interest in maintaining them. Cedar Fair is in the business of parks and budgets accordingly. They know the industry better than early Paramount, who bought the KECO parks on what feels like a whim.

It's not as simple as one or the other; "movies" vs. not movies; thrill rides vs. themed rides. It goes way beyond that. We don't know what Kings Island would be or if it would exist at all had Paramount not purchased it from Lindler. We don't know what Kings Island would be or if it would exist at all had Cedar Fair not then purchased it from then. There's evidence to suggest that if those transactions hadn't occurred, Kings Island may no longer be a park to visit...

you voted for it because your initials are tb!!!

I wish Mr. Lindner were listed, just so I could see hm get few to no votes, at least since WooferbearATL no longer frequents this place.

VIACOM should also be listed.

I never even caught that! (I guess I never wanted to have a screen name that could be abbreviated the same as Paramount Parks...)

Why do I immediately think of Persimmonous Paul (or should that be Parsiminous Pall?)?

I may be alone, but I loved the Paramount days because of the theming.

Paramount never would have brought back the Rotor.

yea they wouldve put a BLSC in its place
