ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.

On June 13, 2002, the Board of Directors of Cedar Fair Management Company, the General Partner of Cedar Fair, L.P. (the "Company"), acting on the recommendation of its Audit Committee, decided to no longer engage Arthur Andersen LLP ("Andersen") as the Company's independent public accountants and appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PWC") to serve as the Company's independent public accountants.

Andersen's reports on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the past two years contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.

During the two most recent fiscal years and through June 13, 2002, there were no disagreements with Andersen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which if not resolved to Andersen's satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter in their report on the financial statements for such years; and there were no reportable events as defined in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(v).

The Company provided Andersen with a copy of the foregoing disclosures. Attached as Exhibit 16.1 is a copy of Andersen's letter, dated June 20, 2002, stating that it found no basis for disagreement with such statements.

During the Company's two most recent fiscal years and through June 13, 2002, the Company did not consult PWC with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's consolidated financial statements, or any other matters or reportable events as set forth in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

CEDAR FAIR, L.P. DECLARES SECOND QUARTER CASH DISTRIBUTION
AND APPOINTS NEW INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

SANDUSKY, OHIO, June 17, 2002 -- Cedar Fair, L.P. (NYSE: FUN), a publicly traded partnership that owns and operates six amusement parks and five water parks, has declared a regular quarterly cash distribution of $0.41 per unit, payable August 15, 2002, to holders of record July 3, 2002. This distribution continues the Partnership's annualized distribution rate of $1.64 per unit.

In addition, Richard L. Kinzel, president and chief executive officer, reported that the Board of Directors of Cedar Fair Management Company, the Partnership's general partner, has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the company's independent public accountants for 2002. The decision followed a thorough evaluation process by the Board's Audit Committee.

Prior to the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers, Arthur Andersen LLP had served as the company's independent accountants for more than forty years. "We greatly appreciate the many years of excellent professional services provided by Arthur Andersen and their audit and tax personnel," said Kinzel. "We look forward to working with PricewaterhouseCoopers in the firm's new role as our independent accountants."

Cedar Fair's six amusement parks are Cedar Point, located on Lake Erie between Cleveland and Toledo; Knott's Berry Farm near Los Angeles in Buena Park, California; Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom near Allentown, Pennsylvania; Valleyfair near Minneapolis/St. Paul; Worlds of Fun, located in Kansas City, Missouri; and Michigan's Adventure near Muskegon, Michigan. The Partnership's water parks are located near San Diego and in Palm Springs, California, and adjacent to Cedar Point, Knott's Berry Farm and Worlds of Fun. Cedar Fair also operates Camp Snoopy at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota under a management contract.
