Kings Entertainment Company (KECO) owned and/or operated six theme parks around the world.
The company was renamed Paramount Parks in 1994, around the time of the Viacom purchase, and remained in existence until 2006.
As part of the 2005 Viacom split, ownership of Paramount Parks was transferred to the CBS Corporation.
Beginning in January 2007, Cedar Fair began dropping the Paramount name from the individual parks and restoring their original KECO names with new Cedar Fair logos.
This transaction also returned the parks to Ohio-based ownership, as Taft was once headquartered in Cincinnati.
