Not good news for Cedar Fair. Matt Ouimet was one of the most qualified people in the business.
Matt Ouimet doesn't have any business experience outside of theme parks or in Hollywood. If he's on a short list, Disney would have to hire him immediately and place him in an entertainment related role. Then, he would have enough experience to take Iger's job.I don’t think it’s coincidental that yesterday Bob doubled down on stepping down from Disney in 2019 and this news comes out today.
Ouimet has been a big name in the buisness for 10+ years now. I think he's the former head of Disney Parks and Resorts (or was he a VP?).I am always amazed how you people know the names of all these movers and shakers in the biz.

Either way, Disney or Universal would be lucky to have him.
Right, he left Disney because Rasulo ended up in the position Eisner was grooming him for.No, he was passed over.
Ouimet was at WDW and DCL before being sent to DLR for that stint and single handedly salvaged anything of note for their 50th Anniversary.
