ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS AND REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.

On August 6, 2003, Cedar Fair, L.P. (the "Company") hosted its 2003 second quarter earnings conference call. During the question and answer portion of the call, the Company was asked what the risk was that it would be unable to increase the cash distribution at the end of the 2003 season, based on its revised cash flow projections. While recognizing that the Board of Directors will ultimately make the decision at its September meeting based on all the facts available at that time, management responded to the question by making the following points:

• For many years we have increased the cash distribution rate in September.
• We don't believe that the current distribution level is at risk, as long as we have a normal August.
• At this point, it does not look likely that we will increase the cash distribution rate this September.
