I saw that Six Flags is potentially in talks to buy some or all of Sea World's parks. Both companies have declined to comment to media companies.
It's been very likely for some time that eventually Sea World would sell the parks. Merlin Entertainments was rumored before as being interested, now Six Flags. Seems like it's just a matter of time before someone snatchs up the chain, even if these talks fall through. It's worth noting that Six Flags already has a park in San Antonio, although San Diego and Orlando both might be appealing to the company.
Sea World just announced a third consecutive quarter of growth, so that no doubt is making it more attractive for buyers looking to expand into Florida, specifically.
