I guess Cedar Fair wants to pay down it’s debts and that means putting Valleyfair up for the highest bidder. Granted, I’d love to own it, but I don’t think $100 would cover it.

However, even more disturbing news is that Cedar Fair is thinking of selling California’s Great America to the 49ers to use a a parking lot. A parking lot! Now that’s sad!

At this time Valleyfair will continue to operate as normal. If it does get sold, I wonder who’d it go to? Cedar Fair seems like such a good parent. To bad their purchase of Paramount Parks Inc. put them in so much debt.

The 2005 Income List:

1. Cedar Point $210 million
2. Knott’s Berry Farm $186 million
3. Dorney Park $56 million
4. Valleyfair $36 million
5. Worlds of Fun $35 million
6. Geauga Lake $26 million
7. Michigan’s Adventure $19 million

Knott’s and Cedar Point brought in about 70% of income which is huge. The other parks need to bring in more visitors somehow to help increase their totals. I know that Valleyfair has been adding an exciting new ride about every other year so their total should continue to increase.

Figures from an article in the Toledo Blade.
