thanks for the update i wonder if they will change the name of Busch Gardens then?

apparently they have come to a deal that it will still be allowed to be called busch gardens.

Shame, I do hope that they don't change the parks too much. I enjoy them as they are.

It does worry me that it mentions the only thing they are interested in is the money, does this mean cuts will be made to ensure the profits remain up and boosted? I hope not!
