A MESSAGE FROM RICHARD ZIMMERMAN, CEO, CEDAR FAIR ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY
March 20, 2020 |
At Cedar Fair, the safety and well-being of our Guests and Associates are always our top priorities. As we continue to follow regional and national health directives related to COVID-19, we want to provide the latest update regarding park schedules. Currently, Knott’s Berry Farm, California’s Great America, Carowinds, Kings Dominion and our Schlitterbahn parks are temporarily closed. It is our hope to reopen those parks mid-May or as soon thereafter as possible. Likewise, we plan to open Kings Island, Worlds of Fun, Dorney Park, Cedar Point and Canada’s Wonderland mid-May or as early as possible. Valleyfair and Michigan’s Adventure are expected to open as originally scheduled or as soon thereafter as possible. We believe these decisions are in the best interest of our associates, our guests, and our communities. We will continue to work with our Season Passholders and Guests who have prepaid tickets during the time period of any park closure. We appreciate the support and cooperation of our Guests and Associates during this ever-evolving situation. Your loyalty to our family of parks is invaluable. We look forward to seeing you soon. |
