More Efficient Capital Spending
Theming
adds significant additional costs to
attraction development and implementation
Incremental capital does not generate adequate
return
Savings possible from scale and a more
strategic approach to capital deployment
Purchasing efficiencies given the increased
scale
In house design and construction management
Commentary
Cedar Fair  
Paramount Parks
Cedar Fair has achieved a dramatically higher return on invested
capital and believes it can improve returns at Paramount


Branding Strategy
In connection with the Acquisition, Cedar Fair will acquire
the right to use the Paramount and Nickelodeon intellectual
property under separate license agreements
Each agreement includes a royalty on net sales in the
acquired parks
Nickelodeon brands are believed to drive family attendance;
current view is to maintain and extend the agreement in
the future
4 year initial term for Nickelodeon
Paramount branding will be evaluated post closing
10 year initial term for Paramount
Will carefully review existing Paramount customer studies and
other data and test anticipated customer reaction to determine
desire to continue use
