Wells Fargo TMT Conference 
November 2014
Forward‐Looking Statement 
Some slides and comments included here, particularly related to estimates, 
comments on expectations about future performance or business conditions, may 
contain “forward‐looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities 
laws which involve risks and uncertainties. You can identify forward‐looking 
statements because they contain words such as “believes,” “project,” “might,” 
“expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” 
“estimates” or “anticipates” or similar expressions that concern our strategy, plans 
or intentions. These forward‐looking statements are subject to risks and 
uncertainties that may change at any time, and could cause actual results to differ 
materially from those that we anticipate. While we believe that the expectations 
reflected in such forward‐looking statements are reasonable, we caution that it is 
very difficult to predict the impact of unknown factors, and it is impossible for us to 
anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. Important factors, 
including those listed under Item 1A in the Partnership’s Form 10‐K could adversely 
affect our future financial performance and cause actual results to differ materially 
from our expectations.

EBITDA Adjustments 
(a) Other non‐recurring costs, as defined in the 2013 Credit Agreement. 
(b) Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, other non‐cash items, and adjustments as defined in the 2013 Credit Agreement. The 
Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is a meaningful measure of park‐level operating profitability. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of operating performance computed in 
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is not intended to be a substitute for operating income, net income, or cash flow from operating activities, as defined 
under generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measure of other companies. 
Note: For years prior to 2012, a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10‐K for that year.

November 2014 Investor Presentation

  • 1. Delivering Results Wells Fargo TMT Conference November 2014
  • 2. Forward‐Looking Statement Some slides and comments included here, particularly related to estimates, comments on expectations about future performance or business conditions, may contain “forward‐looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws which involve risks and uncertainties. You can identify forward‐looking statements because they contain words such as “believes,” “project,” “might,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates” or “anticipates” or similar expressions that concern our strategy, plans or intentions. These forward‐looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may change at any time, and could cause actual results to differ materially from those that we anticipate. While we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward‐looking statements are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of unknown factors, and it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. Important factors, including those listed under Item 1A in the Partnership’s Form 10‐K could adversely affect our future financial performance and cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations. 2

  • 16. EBITDA Adjustments (a) Other non‐recurring costs, as defined in the 2013 Credit Agreement. (b) Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, other non‐cash items, and adjustments as defined in the 2013 Credit Agreement. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is a meaningful measure of park‐level operating profitability. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of operating performance computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is not intended to be a substitute for operating income, net income, or cash flow from operating activities, as defined under generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measure of other companies. Note: For years prior to 2012, a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10‐K for that year. 16 Twelve Months Ended (in millions) 12/31/2013 12/31/2012 EBITDA $353.9 $370.5 Plus: loss on the early extinguishment of debt 34.6 - Plus: net effect of swaps 6.9 (1.5) Plus: unrealized foreign currency (gain) loss 29.1 (9.2) Plus: equity based compensation 5.5 3.3 Plus: loss on impairment / retirement of fixed assets, net 2.5 30.3 Plus: gain on the sale of other assets (8.7) (6.6) Plus: other non-recurring costs(a) 1.7 4.2 Total Adjusted EBITDA(b) $425.4 $391.0
