Cedar Fair beats attendance record with 2011 numbers

"The Company will be hosting an investor meeting in New York, NY on Thursday, January 19, 2012 from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. ET. The two hour session will be hosted by the Company's president and chief executive officer, Matt Ouimet, and other senior executives of the Company, and will include a business overview and question and answer session. The session will be webcast live from the Company's web site at www.cedarfair.com."

Interesting, vvveeerrrrryyyyyy interesting.

What's interesting about it? Nothing.

Curious that it's in New York versus Sandusky. I am pretty sure that the last few investor meetings were held in Sandusky. Of course I could be wrong on that though.

This is the interesting part...

"In the coming year ... expand our night time entertainment offerings ...."

Isn't one of the parks getting a Starlight? That would qualify as a "night time offering".

Sadly, they will never be able to beat Disney's night time entertainment... But I would absolutely like them to try! I do say the starlight experience is a start in the right direction.

I Thought I was allowed my own opinions? I also find it interesting that they're meetin in NYC.

Could it just be that Matt wants to meet some of the larger/institutional investors that otherwise couldn't be bothered to show up if the meeting were in Sandusky (in the middle of winter)?

A meeting in NY will get more attention and coverage than a meeting in Sandusky. It lends a more professional atmosphere to the proceedings than holding it next to the dippin' dots stand. I think it also sends the message that Cedar Fair is much more than Cedar Point.

Clearly the laws of free speech and democracy don't pertain to this site.

The laws of free speech and democracy don't pertain to anything privately owned. Welcome to America, where the government doesn't own rollie coaster websites. :)

Please. Don't whine. I hate that boo-hoo-Jeff-picks-on-me crap. If you say something is interesting and don't say why, people are going to ask you.

The base of investors for Cedar Fair has largely shifted from individuals to institutional investors. They don't hang out in Sandusky.

laws of free speech

Pet peeve: the first amendment only forbids the government from restricting "speech," not to private entities.

So, no, the "law of free speech" does not apply here.

And freedom of the press applies to the owner of the press not the rest of us.

I give credit to Cedar Fair for not sneaking Dick Kinzel's name into the press release. :)

Yes, but they should have mentioned Geauga Lake. ;)

Had to. :)

Sarcasm people, sarcasm.

Responses would have been different methinks if a question would have been asked without the answer of 'nothing' forced upon the person being questioned.

"Forced upon"...how dramatic. Yes, it should be mandatory for "IMO" to be appended to everything everyone says here, so as not to ruffle any feathers. Otherwise, whatever is said is absolutely indisputable.

IMO.
