"This would be the biggest merger that we've ever had in our industry," Dennis Speigel, president of International Theme Park Services in Cincinnati, told Cleveland.com. "The whole industry is watching with a very interested eye, and that includes people not only domestically but also internationally."
Cedar Fair is said to be considering the offer.
Cedar Point fans took to social media to complain, claiming Cedar Point's quality would suffer with such a merger.
Cedar Point is to good to become Six Flags.
