ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
On August 25, 2000, Cedar Fair, L.P. (the "Registrant")
announced the approval of a plan to revise the Partnership's
existing general partner fee and executive compensation
systems at a special meeting of its limited partners held
that day.
Under the approved plan, Cedar Fair's limited partnership
agreement has been amended to eliminate the fees paid by
Cedar Fair to its general partner, retroactive to January 1,
2000. In addition, a new Equity Incentive Plan allowing the
award of options and other forms of equity as an element of
compensation to senior management and other key employees
was established. In connection with terminating the
existing compensation system, one-time lump sum cash
payments totaling approximately $8.5 million and options for
2,330,000 units will be issued to Cedar Fair's senior
management.
