The comments are hilarious. Apparently someone thinks he owns Dick's Sporting Goods.

As one of Mr. Kinzel's harshest critics, I truly wish him a long, happy and prosperous retirement. His early efforts built Cedar Fair into a powerhouse. For that, we should be thankful. And the man loved a good coaster, or several dozen. He had great faith in the maxim "If you build it, they will come."

I almost feel that the statement of "He was the CEO the company needed at the time" fits his time with CF

For the first part of his long tenure, most definitely.

OK, I absolutely must agree with this entire statement. From 2004/5 on, he can stick it where the Sun don't shine, but prior to that I Respect... and am thankful for... what he did.

This makes me sad. He was my favorite part of Dinosaurs Alive.

I met him a few times and found him to be a true gentleman. He always seemed to remember me when he saw me.
