SonofBaconator Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Four parks were owned by Paramount that were bought by Cedar Fair: Kings Island, Kings Dominion, Carowinds and Canada's Wonderland. Of those four, which park benefitted the most from the ownership change? Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Really? Paramount's Great America was owned by whom? And who bought it? Quote
KIfan1980 Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Really? Paramount's Great America was owned by whom? And who bought it? Must have been Marriott and Six Flags 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Well, Six Flags definitely benefited from THAT one! Quote
diamondhawk Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Why did Canada's Wonderland benefit the most? Am I missing something? Quote
Fire-Beast-OF FEAR Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 I would say Canada's Wonderland. The park under paramount had several roller coasters but no major ones that people came for. Just like KI before Diamondback, except CW didn't have The Beast and their best coaster was Vortex, thats like the best and biggest ride at KI being Flight Deck. Now the park has broken the 200' barrier and two rides over 300' in under 5 seasons and they are both amazing coasters. Quote
A.S.Coasters Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 I would say CW just because of the attendance boost. Quote
Sonofbeast2.0 Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 All the above becuase if they wern't bought they problay woudn't be open today. A world without KI . Quote
BB1 Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Well, I would say Carowinds, due to the Intimadator, and some of the newer rides. No comment on the others. Quote
Coney Islander Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Is it just me, or does Canada's Wonderland progressively become more of a destination park (in terms of attendance) nearly every season? Quote
TheCrypt Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 . A world without KI . Well, then we'd have Cedar Point, Holiday World, Indiana Beach, The Beach, among other regional parks with which to entertain us. Quote
stashua123 Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 KI had more goods than bads under the paramount era. They added 7 rollercoasters and many flat rides. It wins by far in the paramount era because it benifited by being the Flagship Park of Paramount Parks Quote
KIfan1980 Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 Edit to note - replying to the "world without KI" discussion a couple of posts up And you might even have a Kentucky Kingdom, Americana, or a Davey Crockett Land. Without the one, many things would be different. Quote
