A Message from Richard Zimmerman, Chief Executive Officer, Cedar Fair Entertainment Company
March 20, 2020 Update
At Cedar Fair, the safety and well-being of our Guests and Associates are always our top priorities.
As we continue to follow regional and national health directives related to COVID-19, we want to provide the latest update regarding our park schedule. Currently, Kings Dominion and Kings Dominion KOA Campground are temporarily closed. It is our hope to reopen both properties mid-May or as soon thereafter as possible. We believe this decision is in the best interest of our associates, our guests, and our communities.
We will continue to work with our Guests who have prepaid single-day tickets or who have booked campsites or cabins during the time period of our park closure. Ticket inquiries or re-bookings may be requested at www.kingsdominion.com/help/contact-us.
For 2020 Season Passholders, we will be adding days to the park’s operating calendar to accommodate for the days the park is temporarily closed (against the original 2020 operating calendar). Additionally, 2020 Season Passholders will enjoy added-value benefits to be announced at the time of park opening.
We appreciate the support and cooperation of our Guests and Associates during this ever-evolving situation. Your loyalty to our park is invaluable. We look forward to seeing you soon.
March 13, 2020 Update
Kings Dominion will postpone its park opening this season until Saturday, April 4. We continue to follow guidance from local and state officials, as well as the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). While there have been no confirmed cases of COVID-19 at our properties, we believe this is the right decision for our guests, associates, and community.
The Kings Dominion KOA Campground will remain open. We will work with our guests who have prepaid single-day tickets or booked rooms during the time period of our park closure. Refunds or re-bookings may be requested at info@kingsdominion.com.
Our guests and associates are considered family. We have their well-being at the forefront of our decision-making. We are committed to responding to questions and requests over the days and weeks ahead and appreciate everyone’s continued support and patience as we manage through this ongoing situation.
Sincerely,
Richard Zimmerman

March 12, 2020 Update
Cedar Fair's highest priority is always the safety of our guests and associates. We know you continue to hear and see news reports about the coronavirus, or COVID-19, and some of its effects around the world. The Cedar Fair team is closely monitoring this evolving situation and are in regular contact with health agencies for information and guidance.
All Cedar Fair properties intend to welcome guests in accordance with our published schedules, and we continue to implement preventive measures as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as well as our own health and hygiene protocols. All our parks and resorts have high standards of cleanliness, which assists with illness prevention. We employ rigorous sanitation standards and robust cleaning procedures, including:
- Extensive and ongoing training for associates on maintaining a safe and hygienic workplace and environment for our guests;
- Specified intervals for frequent sanitization of targeted areas throughout the day;
- Numerous and accessible handwashing facilities and hand sanitizer locations;
- Quick response to spills, trash and other situations;
- Daily and frequent sanitation procedures for restrooms, kitchens, dining surfaces, benches and trash cans;
- Daily and frequent cleaning and "wash down" of outdoor locations, including walkways and queue lines
The leadership team is communicating with our associates about illness prevention; this includes guidance issued by the CDC. The CDC recommends everyday preventive actions to help stop the spread of germs. The CDC provides more detailed coronavirus information on its website at www.cdc.gov.
As always, we maintain close relationships with local, state, national and international public health authorities. We take their guidance when additional preventive measures are deemed necessary.
Thank you for your continued support and trust in Cedar Fair's family of parks and resorts.
Sincerely,
Richard Zimmerman
Chief Executive Officer
