A Harsh Farewell to Cedar Fair...

Published 2024-07-01
Right now, Cedar Fair is finalizing a merger to become the largest amusement chain in the world with Six Flags, but we still should talk about Cedar Fair as a whole, mainly to reflect on some of their choices over the past couple of years. Some aspects of this company always confuse me, and I think it’s time to put these into the light.

Channel Description: A coaster enthusiast who loves traveling to new places around the US and world to ride coasters! I generally make speculation and ranking videos, but I may do a vlog or two and a few reviews sometimes. My number 1 coaster is Iron Gwazi, and my credit count is 245. I hope you enjoy my channel!

    Before anyone else comments “Cedar Fair has majority control” the company won’t be the same ever again, and this video is also to reflect on their past decade or so.

    From Cedar Fair's perspective, what sense does it make to put investments into these small parks? The parks are already profitable, and they're getting the attendance numbers they want. Obviously it sucks if those are your home park, but I think blaming Cedar Fair for not putting millions of dollars into places they won't see it back just doesn't make much sense. We saw six flags try putting a new attraction into every park, every year and that didn't really help them at all. In my opinion almost all of your points just come down to money, and yeah from an enthusiast perspective these might seem weird, but you gotta remember they're a business at the end of the day.

    Cedar Fair will definitely be missed but I totally agree with you on all of those great points. This was a really good video!
  • @carysage
    It looks like Canada's Wonderland's new coaster is a Premier Rides dual launch.
  • Cedar Fair cares about its reputation because it realizes how much better it is than Six Flags. Much better experience and rides. It is going about it the wrong way, but its intentions are much more in the right place, unlike 6 Flags which just wants to squeeze every dollar out of its guests

    Man, Cedar Point was the spot for us Michiganders during the summer!
  • I’ve heard from a pretty reliable source that cedar fair wants to stop working with b&m after fury’s crack, leviathans lift motor, gatekeepers chain, and them being quite expensive
  • Cedar Fair's technically not going away. Legacy Six Flags is going away, and Legacy Cedar Fair is rebranding itself with the Six Flags name.
  • @Johnnyiswhere
    I agree. Cedar Fair parks are well run, but lack any real personality save for Knotts and Kings Island.
  • @spentron1
    Actually I think Zamperla was the only real option to modify the ride. It is considered known that B&M offered a completely new ride only. Red Force cost $103M.

    Idk why they dropped the cedar fair name. The Six Flag name kinda sucks
  • But it's not like when they dropped the Paramount's prefix on all the parks after that purchase. They never renamed any park CedarFair's ... from that multi-park purchase or when they purchased individual parks, so CedarFair's Worlds of Fun and CedarFair's Canada's Wonderland will not exactly be missed. We'll just have to wait and see whether long term vision prevails or the new Six Flags is full of money vampires.

    When do we start the new pass for six flags and knotts in California?
  • I may be in the minority, but I think Six Flags is the better company nowadays

    WHY ON EARTH would you call this 'Fairwell to CF"...?? They're name is still in All of the financial books, they still have the CF strategy people, AND, they KEPT the CF Stock symbol "FUN".. the only thing that is SF now, is the sign out front... THAT'S IT.
