This excerpt taken from the FUN DEF 14A filed Mar 31, 2009. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS Richard Kinzels son, Bart Kinzel, Vice President and General Manager of Carowinds, and son-in-law, Tim Boals, Corporate Vice President Resale and Sponsorships, are employed by the Partnership and each receive compensation in excess of $120,000 annually. There were no other transactions that must be disclosed between the Partnership and our officers, directors or any person related to our officers or directors, or with any holder of more than 5% of the outstanding units, during 2008 and through the date of this proxy statement. All transactions between the Company and the Partnership on the one hand, and any officer, director or related party on the other hand, are subject to a specific approval process set forth in the Companys Corporate Governance Guidelines. Each officer and director is expected to bring any relationship or transaction with the Partnership or the Company in which he or she has a direct or indirect interest to the attention of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. That Committee reviews the transaction and considers, among other things, whether the transaction impacts the independence of any independent Board member, whether the related partys interest in the transaction is material and whether the terms of the transaction are comparable to those that could be negotiated with an unrelated third party. The Committee, or its Chair if so authorized, may approve the transaction. If the transaction is approved by the Chair, the approval is subject to subsequent ratification by the full Committee. If the transaction involves an amount in excess of $120,000 or if a member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is a party to or involved in the transaction, then the transaction will be reviewed and, if appropriate, approved by the disinterested members of the Board.

This excerpt taken from the FUN DEF 14A filed Apr 6, 2007. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS Richard Kinzels son-in-law, Tim Boals, Corporate Vice President Resale and Sponsorships, is employed by the Partnership and receives compensation in excess of $120,000 annually. Board member Steven Tishman is a managing director of Rothschild Inc., which served as the co-advisor to the Partnership in its purchase of Paramount Parks, Inc., on June 30, 2006 for approximately $1.2 billion. Rothschild Inc. received an advisory fee of $5.0 million from the Partnership for its services in connection with the acquisition. Mr. Tishman was not involved in the Board discussions concerning the engagement of Rothschild or in the final discussions concerning the Partnerships decision to acquire the parks. The Board believes that the fees paid to Rothschild were comparable to those that could have been negotiated with an unrelated third party. There were no other transactions between the Partnership and our officers, directors or any person related to our officers or directors, or with any holder of more than 5% of the outstanding units, during 2006 and through the date of this proxy statement.

The two transactions described above were in place prior to the Boards adoption of this policy and were therefore not subject to the policy. | EXCERPTS ON THIS PAGE:
