10 Theme parks?
I count 7..sea worlds, busch parks, sesame place, water park...what else?
what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard.
Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.
I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
In addition to the six theme parks listed above, there's Discovery Cove, Aquatica, Water Country USA, and Adventure Island waterpark in Tampa.
Does make me wonder about Grant's Farm...I thought that was part of the A-B family?
Grant's farm is owned by the Busch family so that wasn't part of the sale. From what I was told, all of the Clydesdales at the Busch parks will all be moving to Grant's farm as these horses were also Busch family owned and not a part of the sale either.

Well, at least we know Blackstone has a proven track record. I wonder if they would be crazy enough to do an updated Drachenfire?

^ What if they combine thetwo and called it "Drachenwolf." That has a nice ring to it.
