SANDUSKY, OH -- Cedar Fair, L.P. (NYSE: FUN), a publicly traded partnership which owns and operates six amusement parks and five water parks, has announced a 2.4% increase in its regular quarterly cash distribution to $0.42 per limited partner unit. On an annualized basis, the Partnership's distribution rate will increase from $1.64 to $1.68 per unit.

"Our consolidated operating income and cash flow are well ahead of last year's levels, and on that basis, the Board of Directors determined that the increase in our cash distribution rate for a 15th consecutive year was appropriate," said Dick Kinzel, president and chief executive officer.

The distribution, which is payable November 15, 2002, to holders of record October 3, 2002, represents the Partnership's 62nd consecutive quarterly cash distribution.

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.
