apparently doin a live feed, im at work :fork:

but screamscape is reporting it could be another seaworld and aquatica in the city of dubai or the united arab area. however thats from screamscape and im really hoping that it will be something that affects us for example new ride or park in our area, or potentially expansions to change what we have to a resort globally. hell maybe a train from seaworld to busch gardens :brick:

I'm really excited, too, I'm hoping to go tomorrow morning. I will be super-disappointed, though, if it just ends up being an international park, or something like that. I'll probably post whatever it is, if someone else doesn't get to it first.

After giving it some thought, it's possible it could be a multiple park announcement, a new major attraction or two at each park, plus maybe a new park, or something like that. I think it's safe to assume that it majorly involves SeaWorld, since that is where the announcement is being held. As for announcing an international park, I'm not sure that they would do that at a domestic park, there doesn't seem to be a precedent for it, be it Busch, Disney, or Universal. I also wouldn't consider that their biggest announcement ever, unless it's super-huge or something.

Maybe they'll start serving dolphin at their restaurants...

"You can't eat dolphin! They're intelligent creatures!"

"Not this one, he wasted all of his money on lottery tickets."

I know the BGT high ups are going to be there, so it could be many things.

AB IV has shown the Prince of Dubai around the park several years ago, so that does give a bit more bite to the Dubai rumor... But afterall, it's only a rumor that we all sit here and speculate on instead of working!

I'll be happy with some form of new attraction announcement. A coster of course is what everyone wants, but anything fun and different will be fine with me.

Perhaps its one giant annouincement on the expansions of all their parks... and future plans?

I believe that at least part of the announcement will announce the new coaster coming to SWO. I think we'll also hear about SWO officially becoming a resort with their own on site hotel as well. My guess is that there's got to be more to it than that, and I don't see an international park being the biggest announcement in history of the theme parks of Busch, although I could see their first "resort" as being so. Up until now, if this is what it is, they've only operated individual parks, now they'd have 3 "parks" and their own resort hotels as well. I can see that being huge news to stock holders.

Its got to have something to do with Orlando since its being held here.

Ha! I own several thousand shares of AB!

I just learned that SW will be getting the "Sting Ray," some type of coaster and BGT will also make some sort of announcement, most likely the rumored hyper.

The Dubai announcement is also on tap for tomorrow.

I did not learn that info because of my investment in AB, but through other sources. I could be wrong, but my source is pretty darn close to the situation. If I'm wrong, I'll eat my words..

The announcement is:

Four parks going to Dubai... More to come as it's broadcast.

EDIT-
SeaWorld, Busch Gardens, Discovery Cove, and Aquatica to be built in Dubai with entertainment and resorts around the four parks.

EDIT -

NO COASTER NEWS. I WAS WRONG WITH MY INFO LAST NIGHT. SORRY.
