On CAPS, 22% of the 415 members who have rated Cedar Fair believe the stock will underperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bears include wolfhounds and tuckman52.

Just last month, wolfhounds explained why it's still too early to take a ride on the stock: "It will take at least a year for the consumer to want to splurge enough times and at higher prices for [Cedar Fair] to see a real rebound."

In a pitch from one month earlier, tuckman52 also flagged Cedar Fair as a scary situation:

Secular trend toward consumers not spending so much money. Took on too much debt with Paramount. Now need cash. Suspended dividend. May pop short-term. Reminds me too much of Six Flags. Shareholders lose; management comes out fine. Long, slow unwinding -- unless the government takes over!
