I hope Sea World still does the hero salute next year.

I hope Sea World still does the hero salute next year.

Though it would be nice, that will be up to the new owners, as the hero salute was always Anheuser-Busch's way of thanking those who serve.

Even if the parks hadn't been sold, the current owners of A-B (InBev, a Belgian beer brewer) would've most likely discontinued the program, as they have been doing some heavy cost-cutting with the St. Louis company.

Seems it was bought by the same private equity firm that owns Universal Orlando. Perhaps some better multi park ticket options in the future. Thought it doesn't seem like they plan to merge the two companies.
