Does anyone know anything about the company that bought Visionland? I think it was Team Pro Parks. What parks do they own? Are they very progressive? etc...
I can't believe Cedar Fair almost bought a park within 25 miles of my residence. Breaks my heart. I guess I will keep driving 12.5 hours to the nearest CF park.

That company was formed for the express purpose of buying and running that park.

I think Cedar Fair missed out on that one.

I've had actual certificates for a small amount of stock. You should contact a broker (online, and thus cheap transaction fees) to set up an account, mail the certificate(s) to the broker and they'll deposit the shares into your account.

At that point you're obviously free to trade them at will.

Fun is currently around 29+ a unit, it has not been under 20 for the past 2 years. The best way to sell 10 units is find a online broker such as e-trade that will let you set up an account without having a min. balence. Schwab used to let you do it now you need a min. balence or they charge account fees. If you can find such a broker you can send in your ten shares and they will charge you around 20 to 30 dollars to sell it. Or you can look at your local in town brokers and ask what they want to sell it. They may do it cheap hoping you will bring them some trades in the future. I would also suggest contacting FUN shareholder services, they may buy your 10 shares for a small fee. Another good reason to own FUN, if you have more than 100 units, they send out 2 for 1s in the spring. Like stay 1 night at the breakers, any room, and get one night free or buy one get one free entry to soak city. We stayed at the snoopy suite this past spring for $230 for 2 nights. Good deal.

Good luck
