Cedar Fair, says the press release, is a publicly traded partnership and acquired Paramount Parks in 2006. The company is headquartered in Sandusky, Ohio, and operates 11 amusement parks and sever water parks.

Among those parks is Carowinds (carowinds.com), in Charlotte, North Carolina, which is also the home of the Peak 10 data center facility that provides Cedar Fair with dedicated infrastructure hosting and managed services.

While a new customer deal (or a customer renewal, in this case) may not always make for the most exciting of Web hosting news, this one might be spiced up by the fact that Carowinds, according to its website, operates roller coasters with names like Afterburner, Nighthawk and Carolina Cyclone.

For Peak 10, apparently, the continued business is "thrill" enough.

"As one of the world's largest amusement park operators, Cedar Fair requires state-of-the-art managed IT and data center services," says Pat O'Brien, vice president and general manager of Peak 10 Charlotte, in a quote included in the press release. "We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Cedar Fair and look forward to continuing to supply our world-class services and skilled support to keep its IT infrastructure secure and available around-the-clock."

The Charlotte data center is one of 12 such facilities owned and operated by the companies in Cincinnati, Atlanta, Nashville and Louisville, as well as Richmond, Virginia, Tampa and Jacksonville, Florida and Raleigh and of course Charlotte, North Carolina.

Last week, Peak 10 announced that it had held an ExecConnect luncheon meeting at its Raleigh data center.
