Busch Entertainment Corp. and Wild Adventures are two of as many as four companies that have expressed an interest in buying VisionLand, sources familiar with the negotiations said. The park is up for sale for $25 million, said Bessemer Mayor Quitman Mitchell, who is chairman of the West Jefferson Amusement and Public Park Authority.

Plus, I very seriously doubt they will sell to a company that plans to dismantle the park. The city wants someone to come in and invest in the park which will in turn spur economic development of the area, giving more tax revenue to the city.
My hopes are for Busch to buy the park, but at this point almost anything is better than the current situation. I wonder if one of the other 2 unnamed companies interested is Cedar Fair?
