Matt Ouimet Reflcts on Previous Attempts to Merge Cedar Fair and SeaWorld Parks
- Thread starter John tibby
- Start date
Ouimet had passed up a good opportunity as far as park portfolios go, though doesn't have quite the same reach as SF parks; however they'd then likely be subject to the same cost-cutting and price-gouging tactics via Hillpath Capital/Scott Ross assuming they'd still retain majority shares. Would have been interesting, though, if the deal involved a dilution of shares to favor more guest-experience oriented C-suiters.
you meant theme park right?, because remember, cedar fair didnt want to run a animal based attraction hence behind the decision to demolish seaworld ohio/wildlife section of the park for a water park
For anyone who found that LinkedIn post interesting, Matt Ouimet posts musings like that on his LinkedIn almost daily. Most involve his takes on the state of Six Flags, anecdotes from his time leading Cedar Fair and Disneyland Resort, thoughts on the theme park industry at large, or personal lessons learned about business leadership and management. He strikes me as a well-reasoned, compassionate business leader, and his posts do a great job of showing the human side of many big business decisions. I definitely recommend checking out his posts.
No. Company. You wondered how Cedar Fair was going to take care of the animals. Cedar Fair doesn't exist anymore.
In his defense (a rare event, I know), cedar fair would have existed at the time of this hypothetical transaction and presumably still would had it happened
