They (AB) have done alot for animal conservation and awareness since they took the parks over, and I shudder at the thought of them being sold to somebody who doesnt care as much. Guess I better take the kids to Sea World before they close for the season here in TX, or they may not get a chance to go next year. As we learned all too well with the GL situation, you just never know. Pretty soon there wont be a quality, family oriented, well kept park to take my kids to left anywhere but possibly Disney!

Reading the Williamsburg article, it looks like this will be as big if not bigger a blow to them as GL was to us.

I hope Disney or Universal buys them. I like the Busch parks and this makes me angry to hear they are selling the only theme parks and animal parks we have left in the USA.
