News: Busch parks could be for sale

Posted at 11:03 AM EDT (1503 GMT)

Jun. 26th, 2008 -- Anheuser-Busch is expected to outline a restructuring plan that could put its theme parks for sale.

The brewer is expected to reject Belgian brewer InBev's buyout offer because it's too low. Anheuser-Busch's restructuring would include selling nonessential assets, of which the theme parks Busch Gardens Europe and Africa belong, according to The Wall Street Journal.

InBev may take its $46.3 billion offer to directly to shareholders, but it has not decided what course to take.

Anheuser Busch runs the Busch Entertainment Corp., which also includes SeaWorlds in Orlando, Fla., San Antonio and San Diego. It also runs three water parks and Discovery Cove and Sesame Place.

My uncle used to work for AB. He is retired, and gets us all the free tix to the parks that we want. Man, this sucks if the parks are put up for sale.

I really hope this does not happen as Busch really does a great job with their parks, conservation programs, and community efforts.

I hate the idea of the parks being sold but it sounds like AB no longer wants them.

I guess it really does always come down to money in the end.

Man that would be really stinky! I wonder who would be on the table to buy them? I really hope that doesn't happen.
