CAPS Rating:
***

The Company is a regional amusement park operator, which owns amusement parks, outdoor water parks, indoor water parks and hotels.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

I love Cedar Point. No only do they have the best rides, they consistently outperform outher parks in terms of customer service and park cleanliness. These guys know how to do it.

Tough times ahead with a soft economy and rising gas prices. Balance sheet a mess with TL/NW at 7.5 times and funded debt/EBITDA at 6.1times. EBITDA at current rate can not cover CMLTD + Int. + Dividends+taxes, and that doesn't even take into account capex expeditures. Can't see much upside potentia...More

I love the company with the fat dividend yield. However, eventhough the yield is rising due to the stock price drop. I fear that the macro economy is really taking a toll on this theme park operator. Consumer confidence is low and consumer is pinch at the gas pump. If the company didn't accumulate that much debt, I would feel a lot better.

Record weak travel patterns, gas prices high, consumer confidence low and their competitor on the verge of bankruptcy. Yeah, this is a keeper (hah).

I sold my FUN at 30, now I'll buy at 19 and may collect 10% 'till it goes back to 30. How many people are spending their refunds at FUN parks?

FUN is a regional amusement park operator that should benefit from High Oil Prices. More people are less inclined to fly to exotic destinations, which should allow family friendly parks to prosper.

Working out normal problems with the purchace of the theme park unit of CBS. But with a 9+% div. yield and good long term income potential I think this is a buy.
