CoastersNSich Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 http://toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/artic...NESS06/60907008 Cedar Fair to keep headquarters in Ohio SANDUSKY  Although Cedar Fair LP had suggested it might move its headquarters from Sandusky to North Carolina, a company official said yesterday the amusement parks company won’t do that. The firm let lapse a lease in a Charlotte business park it acquired as part of its June purchase of Paramount Parks Inc. Spokesman Stacy Frole said Charlotte employees moved to nearby Carowinds amusement park, where they continue to run information technology and payroll operations. Chief Executive Officer Richard Kinzel was evasive in June when asked whether Cedar Fair might move to Charlotte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailRider Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Honestly not a big surprise, but great news non the less. Expect to see Dick Kinzel walking around KI next year a few times. He is very hands on and it makes perfect sense to keep the HQ in Ohio with 3 of the larger parks headquarterd there. Kinzel is so hands on that he actually live on the point. The big mansion that sits on lake erie and is also viewable from the east side of the parking lot is his place of residence. Not to mention that the CF Flagship park is here and so is the old Paramount Parks flagship park here. Makes perfect sense. 3 parks, 3 huge water parks, and one musem (carossel musem in Sandusky) located in Ohio for this company, makes good business sense.
