Fair

Cedar Fair, L.P. (operated under the trade name Cedar Fair Entertainment Company) was an American amusement park company headquartered in Sandusky, Ohio, United States. Formed in 1983 via Cedar Point's acquisition of Valleyfair, it was the seventh-largest amusement park company by attendance, hosting 26.7 million guests in 2023. Prior to its 2024 dissolution, Cedar Fair owned 11 amusement parks and 13 water parks; six water parks operated under the Schlitterbahn and Soak City brands. Additionally, Cedar Fair had theme park licensing rights to use Peanuts intellectual properties at its parks. In November 2023, Cedar Fair and competitor Six Flags announced that they would merge. Both companies would dissolve and form a new entity under the Six Flags name, with former Cedar Fair stockholders obtaining a 51.2% majority stake and keeping Cedar Fair's stock ticker, FUN, for the New York Stock Exchange. The merger was completed on July 1, 2024. At the time of the merger's completion, the combined company operated 42 properties and became the largest amusement park operator in North America.
