Report: Blackstone Group may buy AB InBev's parks
A media report says Blackstone Group is looking into buying Anheuser-Busch InBev's theme parks, including SeaWorld and Busch Gardens.
Dow Jones Newswires – citing unnamed sources – says the private equity firm is considering buying theme parks operated under Busch Entertainment Corp.
A spokesman for Blackstone said any comment now would be premature. A spokesman for Anheuser-Busch InBev declined to comment.
Anheuser-Busch InBev has made no secret of wanting to shed some of its assets since its $52 billion deal to buy brewer Anheuser-Busch last year.
Buying the parks could make sense for Blackstone Group, whose investments include Universal Studios Orlando and Madame Tussauds wax museums.
