CoastersRZ Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Wow! I wonder what prompted him to resign? How long had he been the GM of Carowinds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 Since 2009. After an extensive search, his father, Mr. Dick Kinzel, Chairman, CEO and President of Cedar Fair at the time, pronounced him the most qualified candidate. Mr. Dick Kinzel's son-in-law, Tim Boals was named Corporate Vice President of Resale about this same time. Mr. Bart Kinzel resigned to pursue other opportunities. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTD-120-420 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Dorney Park is a breeding ground for Cedar Fair GM's. I must go there. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoeter Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Fehnel replaces Bart Kinzel, who resigned earlier this month. I was at Carowinds for the first time ever at the beginning of this month. Look what me, LoraX, Princess Sparkles and company did! We scared him off and we scared all the nickels out of his pockets! Andrew, who just HAD to... 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkroz Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Still cracks me up. One of those stories that'll go down in amusement park history. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar92 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Perhaps it's time to resurrect my #BringTheEaglesHome hashtag... Even though I know fully well it won't help anything and Kinzel has nothing to do with those being gone... But with new management comes new hopes and possibilities, right? Right? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be on the new general manager's list of priorities to export a beloved ride from his own park, back to its park of origin as a gesture of good will? Hmmm... Probably not. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Mr. Fehnel didn't even get a full season at Dorney as GM/VP under his belt loop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongliveKingsCobra Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Ohhh I love when high up execs get fired or highly pressured to leave and they always spin it as: "Resigned to pursue other options" more like "Kicked out because the with is dead" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoddaH1994 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 If Tim Boals is replaced soon too then we can guess what happened. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOF Guy Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 ^^Brad Marcy is now GM of Dorney Park. ^Tim Boals was reassigned last August (to focus on merch/games exclusively at Cedar Point). A former Disney executive now heads the corporate merchandise office. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldiesmann Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Considering he's only tweeted 12 times since February of last year, I wouldn't take that to mean much of anything. He retweeted that particular tweet because he's in that picture (front right in the blue shirt - I know this only because he's got a picture of himself on his LinkedIn profile as well). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
