I know this is a real long shot but I remember a rumor being talked about because of SeaWorld suffering financially of possibly Universal buying SeaWorld and turning it into a Universal Sea Park?
Comcast does not wish to inherit the issues that would come with owning Sea World....They also have more than enough IP's that they have yet to introduced....And they are very focused on cleaning up the current parks after Blackstone and GE's messI know this is a real long shot but I remember a rumor being talked about because of SeaWorld suffering financially of possibly Universal buying SeaWorld and turning it into a Universal Sea Park?
If SeaWorld got to the bankruptcy stage and were forced to sell the assets at firesale prices, Universal would bite. But since SWE is improving financially it seems as if SWE has weathered the storm.I know this is a real long shot but I remember a rumor being talked about because of SeaWorld suffering financially of possibly Universal buying SeaWorld and turning it into a Universal Sea Park?
Really? Are you talking land? I just don't see a world where Comcast would be interestedIf SeaWorld got to the bankruptcy stage and were forced to sell the assets at firesale prices, Universal would bite. But since SWE is improving financially it seems as if SWE has weathered the storm.
They would only want the land and possibly Discovery Cove. No one wants the SeaWorld brand.Really? Are you talking land? I just don't see a world where Comcast would be interested
That's what I figured, they would be crazy to potentially tarnish their brandThey would only want the land and possibly Discovery Cove. No one wants the SeaWorld brand.
I know I just thought that the Blackfish documentary put SWO in a really bad hole financial wise.
The Blackfish effect is (unfortunately) still affecting the parks. Albeit to a lesser extent than in previous years.If Blackfish was the company's only problem, they would've completely recovered by now. JMO

Activists have always been all over Sea World...Even during the AB era
Bad management, Staleness, and a hugely popular "boy who lived" are the reasons Sea World has a problem
Throw in a film that asks some questions about the organization....You have big problems
Exactly, and I think they are seeing the fruits of heading in the right directionThey’re finally starting to fight back against all of the real problems, and I couldn’t be happier. All they need right now is a couple of flats (a Skywarp and a frisbee could do wonders) a family coaster, and another thrill coaster.
