Dear Cedar Fair, L.P. Unitholder:

It is my pleasure to invite you to Cedar Fair, L.P.’s 2009 annual meeting of limited partner unitholders. This year’s meeting will be held on Thursday, May 14, 2009 at 9:00 a.m. (Eastern Time), at the Sandusky State Theater in Sandusky, Ohio. The attached materials contain details regarding the business to be conducted at the annual meeting.

For the first time, we are pleased to take advantage of the Securities and Exchange Commission rule allowing us to furnish proxy materials to our unitholders over the Internet. We believe that this new process will expedite your receipt of proxy materials and also lower the costs and reduce the environmental impact of our annual meeting. We intend to mail a printed copy of the proxy statement and proxy card to certain of our unitholders on or about March 30, 2009. All other unitholders will receive a Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials which will be mailed on or about the same date. The Notice contains instructions on how to access our 2009 proxy statement and annual report over the Internet and instructions on how you can request paper copies of these materials.

Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting, your vote is important and we encourage you to vote promptly. You may vote the shares via a toll-free telephone number or over the Internet. If you received a paper copy of the proxy card by mail, you may sign, date and mail the proxy card in the envelope provided. Instructions regarding the three methods of voting are contained on the Notice and proxy card.

We look forward to seeing you at the annual meeting.

Sincerely,

RICHARD L. KINZEL

Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer
