History[]
The chain was founded when Cedar Point and Valleyfair merged.
In 1993, they purchased struggling theme park Virginia Thrills as competition from various nearby parks, particularly Carwardine Colony, grew.
In 2004, they went into Chapter 11 bankruptcy, forcing them to cancel several plans, including buying out the Paramount Parks.
As part of the company's turnaround plan after emerging from Chapter 11 Bankruptcy in 2007, Cedar Fair bought Libertyland in Memphis, Tennessee from it's interim ownership board and began redeveloping Libertyland into the company's newest theme park.
In 2019, Cedar Fair purchased La Feria de Chapultepec and Selva Mágica from Ventura Entertainment, safety was the number 1 focus of the rebrand for La Feria de Chapultepec, and Cedar Fair invested $1 million in repairing Quimera at La Feria to make it safer, including replacing the "frankensteined" train with a new Premier Rides train.
