At some of the other 420 US parks from Arizona to Maine, it means more parades, arcades, and games for younger kids; and more variety/stunt shows, music, and entertainment for the over-50 set; and more attractions that all ages can enjoy together.

WOW

Kinda what I have been harping about for MONTHS.

CF has the opportunity to take this type of thing to heart or to ignore the fact that not everyone goes to a park looking for the biggest and baddest thrill rides.

Thats basicslly why I go to KI is for the thrills and the food.

So, wooferbear, what do you suggest Cedar Fair do? Turn CP into a more family friendly park like KI (which they already own)and have a clone further up north? Or, are you referring to all CF parks? You don't want KI and CP to be too much alike or you will have two parks competing for the exact same business. Not smart.

Nope.

What I'm saying is that for any large theme park to continue to exist, they must cater to all elements of the community. You can not be all shows, all coasters or all just anything.

The concentration will need to be to provide something for everyone.

^But they have 68 rides, 16 killer coasters, and top notch, award-winning shows. What else can they do? Other than a parade? I admit, they do need to work on their kids' areas as they are terrible.
