Cedar Fair will also be managing this as they will with Bonfonte (as they once did with the KC @ Mall of America). I've edited the article.
Per this discussion, apparently there may be a need for broader discussion concerning Cedar Fair's early history. Can Cedar Fair be traced back at all to the companies that ran it during its first 50 years or so? I restored some content with a source, and obviously more expansion would be needed if we continue down this route, but it would seem somewhat odd to me if we didn't talk about Cedar Point's founding and early beginnings in some way if there is a connection at all. Otherwise, we may need a separate article that deals with Cedar Point Pleasure Company and/or G.A. Boeckling Company. We can be very brief about it if we keep it here, because I agree this article should focus on the modern entity Cedar Fair. -- GoneIn60 ( talk) 19:54, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
When Cedar Point refers to its own history (as written by Cedar Fair), it seems to mention and bring up the older entities that were consumed and eventually became absorbed by Cedar Fair. If that's legit, then it would seem to make sense to include the earlier iterations as a prequel historic perspective to give readers some background. -- GoneIn60 ( talk) 19:57, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
the odd statement you just now made in your article edit"
So be sure your editing assertions match what Cedar Fair asserts about their own business predecessors"
Information about companies and products must be written in an objective and unbiased style, free of puffery. All article topics must be verifiable with independent, third-party sources ...

For JIAcer, regarding your recent deletion of pertinent information which I attempted to post to the Article as corrections to faulty prior edits. Some portions of the faulty text were very pertinent to the article, if, and I stress the word IF, that prior text has been accurately stated. But they were not accurately stated, which is why I had posted the corrected information , and included my source references within the reason for the edit, because, as you asserted on my talk page, those source references were already within the CP article itself, so, based upon your own assertions, it was not necessary for me to add those pre-existing refs. However, you deleted my corrections anyway, under the sole premise that I was an "IP vandal". Can you please explain your "IP vandal" reasoning, here on this thread? And also please explain why you don't feel that my corrections were pertinent. Also please explain why the former, faulty information is no longer pertinent, because apparently all prior editors accepted that former information as being pertinent, despite being faulty. What now suddenly changes the pertinence of the prior official legal predecessor names of the Cedar Fair company? Thank you. 2607:FB91:100B:2D6C:84D3:617C:5031:C149 ( talk) 20:07, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
Some editors seem to believe that the company headquarters have moved from Sandusky, Ohio, to Charlotte, North Carolina. While it's true that several principal officers including the CEO, COO, and other top executive staff are largely based out of the Charlotte location, Richard Zimmerman, the President and CEO, was in Charlotte prior to becoming CEO in 2018, he simply stayed there when he assumed the new title. The CFO is still in Sandusky and all the partnership shareholder reports, SEC filings, and IRS tax documents still list Sandusky as the corporate headquarters. The "official website" here: https://ir.cedarfair.com/company-overview/default.aspx clearly states in big, bold letters, "Headquartered in Sandusky, Ohio." Until all of those things change, particularly the company's listing on the stock exchange, the wiki page should reflect Sandusky as the headquarters. —JlACEer ( talk) 16:43, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
With the recent Six Flags merger announcement, there is no doubt that the new HQ will be in Charlotte, NC. That info was included in Cedar Fair's press release. Norrisrk ( talk) 13:11, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Six Flags which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — RMCD bot 15:17, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
Currently, the first five words are: Cedar Fair, L.P., formally Cedar... (depending on how you count). I either simply try to put this proffered distinction out of my mind or I might think about it.
Should we be referring to "Cedar Fair Entertainment Company" as the formal name, since it would seem like "Cedar Fair, L.P." is the actual legal name? Did they perhaps mean "formerly", even though that doesn't seem right either?
I just point out that I think it needs improvement. Fabrickator ( talk) 04:22, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
