Sounds as though Disney is in the biding to purchase Sea World.

I doubt this will ever happen. There are too many things they would want to do to "Disney up" Sea World and the surrounding area to make it worth while. Disney needs to concern themselves with the four parks they have now. Adding stuff like American Idol next year when Sea World and Universal are adding coasters doesn't quite do it.

Yeah. What he said.

I believe that disney will be in the bidding for SeaWorld, but I don't think they will actually make the purchase. What better way to gain access to the confidential financial records than this. Disney can get a lot of info from being in the process.

Considering there is a huge commitment by Sea World to build 4 new parks out in Dubai I doubt many companies will look to purchase the Busch parks.

I wonder what the recent announcement to seel the Busch parks has done to the commitment to build these parks. Is it on hold? Cancelled? Still a go? Who knows for sure. I'm sure this decision will have a big impact on who or who doesn't bid on the Busch theme parks.

The parks being built in Dubai from what I understand are not being built by Busch.Nakheel is investing the capital to build and operate the parks.Nakheel is one of the world's largest property developers and has more than enough money to do this.Busch is supposed to license the brand to Nakheel and operate the parks under a management contract.So how exactly will the Dubai parks be affected,I don't know, but I don't think these parks are included in the US parks as far as being owned by Busch.
