It will be interesting to see what they do long term with the parks.  They're track record seems to be a good one.

Well who knows if Blackstone wants to go ahead with the expansion plans that Busch had in store for that area.  Personally I'd just table it and take another look at what needs to happen with the parks -- and I would definitely table spending capital to remove an attraction
