In what could be a great move for Sea World and Busch Gardens theme parks, they were acquired from Anheuser Busch by the Blackstone Group.

What have these guys at Blackstone got up their sleeve? There is no money out their for public companies to do deals. They are quietly amassing a huge empire in the travel industry with their purchase of Hilton, Legoland and Universal Theme parks.

Oh the sad news? The Clydsdales will eventually be leaving the parks.
