Operating 10 major theme parks in 5 states, SeaWorld owns and operates most widely recognized and respected family travel brands including Busch Gardens, SeaWorld, Sesame Place, Adventure Island, and Discovery Cove. After temporarily going public in 1968 a mere four years after its founding, SeaWorld was bought by the Anheuser Busch Companies, Inc. and became its entertainment subsidiary. After Anheuser Busch was bought by the Belgian InBev, the SeaWorld division was bought by the Blackstone Group L.P. in October 2009 for $2.9 billion.
