Former Cedar Point vice-president of marketing John Hildebrandt returns to Sandusky after less than a year as Dorney Park's general manager to assume the position of general manager of the Cedar Point resort. He replaces the retiring Dan Keller. Greg Scheid, the head of Cedar Point's merchandise division, will take the top spot at Dorney.
Read the press release from Cedar Fair.

I too was excited about the arrival of Mr. Hildebrandt to Dorney. This is, IMO, good news for CP, but bad news for DP. No offense intended to Greg Scheid, but I've never met him, and only heard of him in passing. Oh well. I am looking at this optimistically.
I'm a little surprised they picked him, but he seems like a bright, younger person. He represents hope for any other young, quality people working in Cedar Fair. In the past it seemed like you had to work for the company for 25 years before you came into any money. This guy moved up to GM of a park in 15 years. Maybe it will cause some of their younger talent to think twice about moving on and give them a bit of much needed stability.
