Cedar Fair, L.P. Declares 2nd Quarter Cash Distribution

Sandusky, OH -- Cedar Fair, L.P. (NYSE: FUN), a publicly traded partnership which owns and operates five amusement parks and four water parks, has declared a regular quarterly cash distribution of $0.375 per unit, payable August 15, 2000, to holders of record July 6, 2000. This distribution continues the Partnership's annualized distribution rate of $1.50 per unit.

Richard L. Kinzel, president and chief executive officer, also reported that early-season operations at the parks have been encouraging, although Dorney Park and Valleyfair have suffered somewhat due to poor spring weather thus far this season. "All of the new rides and attractions we have introduced at our parks this year have been received very well by their local markets," said Kinzel. "The popularity of these new rides and attractions gives us confidence that each of our parks is well-positioned for a strong 2000."

Cedar Fair's five amusement parks are Cedar Point, located on Lake Erie between Cleveland and Toledo; Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, California, near Los Angeles; Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom near Allentown, Pennsylvania; Valleyfair near Minneapolis / St. Paul; and Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun, located in Kansas City, Missouri. The Partnership's water parks are located in Sandusky, Ohio; Kansas City, Missouri; Chula Vista, California, near San Diego; and Knott's Soak City U.S.A., the Partnership's newest addition, which opened today next to Knott's Berry Farm. Cedar Fair also operates Knott's Camp Snoopy at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota under a management contract.
