Paramount Parks

Paramount Parks was an American multinational amusement park company which operated several Cedar Fair parks including Kings Dominion, Kings Island, Carowinds, Canada's Wonderland, and California's Great Adventure. It was operated by Viacom from 1994 to 2006. In 2006 the company was bought by Cedar Fair.
== History ==
Paramount Parks was founded in 1993 when Paramount Communications purchased the aforementioned parks. In 1994, the rights to the parks went to Viacom International, as Viacom had bought Paramount Communications. They branded the Hanna-Barbara sections as Nickelodeon sections.
In 2006, after downsizing massively, Viacom sold Paramount Parks to Cedar Fair. The parks dropped the 'Paramount's' demeanor and changed the Nickelodeon sections to Planet Snoopy, as Peanuts licensed their characters to Cedar Fair.
