Posted | Contributed by Jeff

Cedar Fair Entertainment Company is nearing a crossroads as critical decisions loom. The company's board of directors is searching for someone to replace Dick Kinzel, 70, a long-respected amusement park operator who has served as Cedar Fair CEO since 1986. The board, meanwhile, is under pressure to hire a new chairman who has no previous ties to the company. The board is also being asked to increase cash payouts for investors.
