QuikQuote: Jack Falfas, who led the transformation of Knott's Berry Farm from a family- owned theme park to a vacation destination, will rejoin his longtime mentor in the corporate offices of Cedar Fair LP. The board of the publicly traded amusement partnership created the new position of COO to oversee operations at its seven theme parks and five water parks.
"This is the chance of a lifetime," Falfas said Tuesday from his celebration dinner in Ohio. "I always said I liked my boss and that some day I'm going to be like him. The board gave me a shot at it. And the stock went up a buck-fifty today, so somebody thinks it's a good idea."
