SeaWorld Makes $3.4 Billion Takeover Bid for Cedar Fair

SeaWorld Entertainment Inc. has offered to buy amusement park owner Cedar Fair for around $3.4 billion, people with knowledge of the matter said.


SeaWorld made a bid of about $60 per unit in cash for Sandusky, Ohio-based Cedar Fair, according to the people, who asked not to be identified because the information is private. The companies are working with advisers on the proposal, the people said.

Deliberations are ongoing, and it’s unclear whether the approach will lead to a transaction, the people said.

Knotts News: There was a time when this news would've excited me. When Geuaga Lake and Knott's Berry Farm needed saving from The Dick. While he was too late to rescue Geauga Lake, Matt Ouimet was still a godsend when he entered the picture in 2012, and worked that Disney magic on Knott's Berry Farm. Since then, Knott's has seemingly operated autonomously from the rest of Cedar Fair, prioritizing theme and annual events. I'd worry that SeaWorld would NOT grant them the same freedom that Cedar Fair has and would just implement the 'coasters everywhere' playbook that the Blackstone Group initiated after buying them (gone were highly themed attractions like Journey to Atlantis and Curse of DarKastle). That may line up well nicely with the rest of the Fair but it would be absolutely detrimental to Knott's. At this point, all we can do is wait and see what comes of this.

Knott’s Berry Farm Update: Peanuts Celebration & Park Enhancements

This annual celebration is a tribute to the classic Peanuts characters, filled with plenty of returning entertainment, decorations, and food offerings. However, there are a few new things that have been sprinkled in too. And although it’s squarely aimed at kids, there’s so much heart and history here that most adults should love it nearly as much.

Knott’s Berry Farm Update: Season’s Screamings

Do you feel that change in the air? Down at Knott’s Berry Farm, the park is transitioning from summer to fall by donning Halloween decorations in preparation for the Scary Farm fog to roll in later this week. It might feel like it’s a little soon to make the transition from Summer Nights to Spooky/Scary Farm based on current weather, but Disney and Universal have already launched their Halloween events, so it’s time for Knott’s to follow suit. Here’s a look at the pre-Halloween frights and sights for this year…
