Cedar Fair LP
In the heart of the amusement and entertainment industry, Cedar Fair LP stands as a compelling narrative of thrilling rides, family experiences, and strategic operations. Founded in 1983, this publicly traded partnership boasts a portfolio of some of North America's most famous amusement and water parks, including renowned names like Cedar Point in Ohio and Knott's Berry Farm in California. The company masterfully combines an extensive array of roller coasters, live entertainment, and themed attractions to draw millions of visitors annually. These destinations serve as leisure meccas, melding the nostalgia of classic amusement park experiences with cutting-edge attractions that cater to evolving consumer preferences and enhance repeat visitation.
Cedar Fair's revenue model is robust, dual-pronged, and intricately designed to maximize both entry fees and ancillary spending. The bulk of its income stems from admissions, an area the company continually innovates through dynamic pricing strategies, season passes, and promotional events, ensuring a steady stream of foot traffic. Beyond the entrance gates, Cedar Fair leverages its vibrant environments through food and beverage sales, merchandise, and premium experiences such as Fast Lane access, VIP experiences, and special events. An integrated hospitality segment—featuring on-site accommodations at select parks—further enriches the visitor experience and creates additional revenue streams. The company's financial health and growth are fortified through strategic capital investments in new attractions, which ensure its parks remain pivotal in the competitive landscape of leisure and entertainment.

Guidance Cut: Six Flags lowered its full-year 2025 adjusted EBITDA outlook to $780–805 million, down significantly from its initial guidance of $1.1 billion.
Attendance Weakness: Attendance growth was only 1% in Q3, with a notable 5% drop in September and an 11% decline in October versus last year’s unusually strong month.
Revenue Down: Q3 revenue declined 2% year-over-year despite flat EBITDA, as September softness offset strong July/August momentum.
Outperformers vs Underperformers: 70% of property-level EBITDA came from outperforming parks, while underperformers dragged results and some will likely be sold or reclassified as non-core.
Operational Adjustments: Management said some 2025 investments in underperforming parks have yet to pay off, and future spending will be more targeted.
Brand & Strategy: The partnership with JANA Partners (including Travis Kelce) has increased public interest, which management aims to leverage for 2026.
Cost Actions & Integration: Integration efforts are yielding benefits with a unified website and ticketing system, while CapEx for 2026 remains at $400 million, but with a sharper focus on high-return projects.
