Cedar Fair, L.P. (FUN)

2009 Outlook

For the 2009 season, Kinzel reported that the company will be investing approximately $62 million in capital improvements across its properties, highlighted by the addition of a new world-class roller coaster at Kings Island in Cincinnati. The company will also introduce two additional coasters: Prowler, a wooden coaster, at Worlds of Fun in Kansas City and Carolina Cobra, a boomerang-style coaster, at Carowinds in Charlotte, North Carolina. In addition, family attractions will be introduced at Valleyfair in Shakopee, Minnesota and Kings Dominion in Doswell, Virginia. Finally, several parks will debut a variety of exciting live shows, including the expansion of the “All Wheels Extreme” stunt show to several properties.

“It is important for us to reinvest in our parks on an annual basis,” said Kinzel. “Capital reinvestment has always been a high priority for the company, and it is why we have been able to maintain and improve our operating results over the years. Our strategy has always been to offer a variety of activities to our guests, and I believe our 2009 program will again capture their attention.”

Outlook

Kinzel noted that based on preliminary results through October, the Company reaffirmed its guidance of full-year revenues between $990 million and $1.02 billion and adjusted EBITDA between $340-$355 million.

Kinzel concluded by noting that virtually all of Cedar Fair’s revenues from its seasonal amusement parks, water parks and other seasonal resort facilities are realized during a 130 to 140-day operating period beginning in early May, with the major portion concentrated in the peak vacation months of July and August. Only Knott’s Berry Farm and Castaway Bay are open year-round, with Knott’s Berry Farm operating at its highest level of attendance during the third and fourth quarters of the year.

2008 Outlook

For the 2008 season, Kinzel reported that the company will be investing $88 million in capital improvements across its properties, highlighted by the addition of new world-class roller coasters at Canada’s Wonderland, Knott’s Berry Farm, Kings Dominion, Dorney Park and Michigan’s Adventure. In addition, the company is expanding the water park at Carowinds and introducing a new children’s area at Cedar Point and a new thrill ride at California’s Great America. “We will continue our long-term strategy of continually reinvesting in our parks to improve the guest experience,” said Kinzel. “We remain in solid shape to invest capital in our parks as planned, while maintaining our regular quarterly cash distributions to our unitholders and managing our debt levels.”

Commenting on expectations for 2008, he added, “We believe we are off to a positive start in 2008. We are now a more geographically diversified company. After our first full year of operating the new parks, we have learned from what worked and what didn’t work, and we have a marketing program in place at each of our parks for the upcoming season which reflects those conclusions. For the full year, we expect to generate revenues of $990 million to $1.02 billion, driven primarily by improvements in attendance and in-park guest per capita spending across our parks, as well as continued growth in accommodations revenues at our resort properties.
