Cedar Fair Entertainment Company

While officially the company's name is still Cedar Fair, L.P., they are now referring to themselves as Cedar Fair Entertainment Company, reflecting the fact that they own more than just rides. They also have water parks, live shows, restaurants, two marinas, six hotels, and two campgrounds.

Peanuts, Politics

Someone might want to incorporate some info about Cedar Fair's parks' use of the Peanuts characters.

Also, does anyone know of any documented political involvement/bias (campaign contributions, etc.) by Cedar Fair? I notice quite a bit of stereotypically conservative tendencies at Worlds of Fun. Among these include the "Cedar Fair Image" of clean-shaven, short-haired males, with no exceptions, and the playing of God Bless America every single night park-wide at closing time. --Xyzzyva 07:21, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Cf3.png

Image:Cf3.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 13:51, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

I am removing the external links to the fan sites for Cedar Fair's parks. These links already appear on each of the parks pages on Wikipedia and do not contribute to anything on this page. I am leaving the fan site for Cedar Fair, as that applies to this page.TPOLMike (talk) 16:10, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

2010 Ride Additions

The current 2009 section is quickly becoming outdated. Kings Dominion on thier website announced a new ride for 2010. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.121.18.98 (talk) 19:37, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Lawsuit and Settlement against Cedar Fair

Not sure if this is capable of being mentioned in the article itself, but recently Cedar Fair is in the midst of settling a lawsuit against a former employee. The settlement amount is $9 million.

Proof and information regarding the lawsuit and settlement is located here: https://www.cedarfairsettlement.com/ssl/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.22.51.55 (talk) 10:08, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Gilroy Gardens

Although Gilroy Gardens was sold to the City of Gilroy, it remains under the operation of the Cedar Fair Entertainment Company, contrary to popular belief. [1]

Gilroy (formerly Bonfante) Gardens is not a Cedar Fair owned park. It is owned by a not for profit board of directors. [2] Cedar Fair does, however, manage the park under a contract with the board that they purchased when they bought out Paramount Parks. I have clarified that fact in the article.

The Mercury News article appears to be behind a paywall now, and the Gilroy Gardens site (dot org, not dot com) doesn't mention Cedar Falls. I was able to find a reference to Gilroy Gardens on the Cedar Falls official site, though, which I assume to be current. It's not a neutral source, but the best neutral source I could find was a years-old press release, which isn't much better. I've updated the article with the cite.

Neutrality Dispute Resolution

From what I can discern, there is little bias in the text of the article. In fact, there is little text in which bias could be present. I will remove the tag for neutrality disputes (and the advertorialistic bias claims) in ten days if no one objects. After this time, objections may still be raised, in which case the tag will be reimplemented. The lack of citations and references tag will remain in place. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Poxywallow (talk • contribs) 02:09, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: page moved. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 00:21, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Cedar Fair Entertainment Company → Cedar Fair – per WP:COMMONNAME. The current title is clearly the company's official name, but since the common name of an entity is preferred on Wikipedia I am requesting this move. The query "Cedar Fair" -"Cedar Fair Entertainment Company" gets approximately four times as many results as "Cedar Fair Entertainment Company" in a Google News search. Many instances of the latter are straight from press releases anyway. I believe this shows "Cedar Fair" is the common name. Themeparkgc  Talk  07:30, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

New CEO and References to Charlotte

On October 22, 2017 Cleveland.com discussed the transition of outgoing Cedar Fair CEO Matt Ouimet and incoming CEO Richard Zimmerman... profiling both to some degree and giving some interesting hints toward future projects. Information regarding the transition needs to be added to the article. Additionally it was stated that the new CEO will be based out of the company's corporate offices in Charlotte North Carolina instead of the "Executive Offices" in Sandusky, OH. This statement directly contradicts the sentence in this article that states that Cedar Fair shut down Paramount Park's corporate offices in Charlotte NC in 2006 and relocated operations to Sandusky Ohio. I review the source that was cited in that statement and there is Zero mention of the old Paramount Parks offices being closed in the source. This new information regarding the new CEO implies that the old Paramount Park offices were kept after the acquisition. Additionally based on the wording of this new article it also implies that the old Paramount Park offices were not only kept, but became the companies corporate offices and the office in Sandusky became the companies Executive Office. These discrepancies will need to be corrected. The article can be found here: http://www.cleveland.com/travel/index.ssf/2017/10/outgoing_incoming_cedar_fair_c.html

Changes made. Cedar Fair has regional offices in several states including the former Paramount offices in North Carolina.—JlACEer (talk) 20:39, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

Wasserfest at Schlitterbahn Galveston

Should Wasserfest at Schlitterbahn Galveston be counted as indoor waterpark?DisneyAviationRollerCoasterEnthusiast (talk) 05:48, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

"Era"????

Are these "Era" time-periods, truly technical divisions? Or are these "Era" divisions merely colloquial references arbitrarily assigned by CP fanatics? Anyway I am sure we can clean up this whole Article along with the CP business-enterprise Article, when time permits. In the interim, I am still attempting to locate a copy of that publication about CP's racist past as mentioned by another editor on the CP talk page. Based upon what that other editor mentioned about its contents, it may very well clear up many of these questions, especially the questionably accurate ones. With any luck, maybe I can acquire copy of it, in time for the mass overhaul needed on both of these Articles, early next year. 2607:FB91:100B:2D6C:84D3:617C:5031:C149 (talk) 14:28, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

"A period is defined as a large interval of time which has a specific characteristic and is important in history and the life of man. An era is a long period of time which is marked by the beginning and end of a significant event. In most of Asia, an era marks the period of each emperor or king's reign." http://www.differencebetween.net › ... Difference Between Era and Period - Differencebetween.net ------ and WIKIdiff states that "an era is a time period of indeterminate length" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FB91:100B:2D6C:84D3:617C:5031:C149 (talk) 14:42, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

Therefore, not only do these Cedar Fair "era" divisions seem to be arbitrarily assigned by CP fanatics, but the editors here are apparently using the terminology "era" in a very questionable and NON-encyclopedic manner. In the very least, the word "era" should probably not appear in these sub-headings?. NOTE: this Article is not a blog, and if blogging is the actual goal of any editors here, there are other websites designed for that sort of fandom activity.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FB91:100B:2D6C:84D3:617C:5031:C149 (talk) 14:54, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
