Cedar Fair BoardUrges Unitholders to Vote Against Q Funding's Proposals

The Board of Directors of Cedar Fair Entertainment Company FUN today sent a letter to all unitholders stating its reasons for opposing the proposals submitted by Q Funding III, L.P. and Q4 Funding, L.P., one of the Company's largest unitholders, to be considered at a Special Meeting of Unitholders on January 11, 2011. The Board believes the proposed amendments to the Company's Partnership Agreement would not be in the best interests of unitholders because they would severely limit the options available to the Board in pursuit of its strategy to maximize long-term value. In addition, they would greatly disrupt the Company's deliberate and ongoing succession planning process that is well under way and is expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2011.
