The company owns and operates eleven amusement parks, nine included-with-admission outdoor waterparks, four separate-admission outdoor water parks, one indoor water park, and fourteen hotels/lodging in the US and Canada. History Cedar Point amusement park began as a bathing beach resort in the 1870s, and its growing popularity as a recreational destination led to the formation of Cedar Point Pleasure Resort Company in 1887. The company was founded with the purpose of expanding the resort commercially. An economic depression in the 1890s threatened the resort's future, however.

Woodstock Express (Carowinds)
Woodstock Express is a wooden roller coaster located at Carowinds in Charlotte, North Carolina that was formerly named after the Nickelodeon cartoon The Fairly OddParents. Though containing all of the elements of a "full-size" or standard wooden roller coaster, its short drop heights, slower speed, gently curving layout and short track length lead to its mistaken identity as a 'junior roller coaster'. History It opened as "Scooby Doo" in 1975, loosely themed to the Hanna-Barbera cartoon of the same name in the ''Happy Land of Hanna-Barbera''. Shortly before the park's 1993 season, the name was expanded to "Scooby-Doo's Ghoster Coaster". In 1993, Paramount Parks bought Carowinds' parent company and added areas themed to the Nickelodeon television channel, owned by their parent company Viacom. As part of this, the Hanna-Barbera area was eventually annexed into the ''Nickelodeon Central'' area, and in 2005, the roller coaster was renamed "Fairly Odd Coaster" in 2005. As part o ...

He eliminated the curved loading station as well, opting instead for an in-line station that precedes the curve to the lift hill. This modified d ...
