For Annual Passholders:
You annual passes will be extended based on the number of days the parks are closed. So if they're closed 8 weeks, your pass will expire 56 days later than originally planned. That's a pretty proactive response.

So i'm gonna guess based on this that SeaWorld is seeing how long this could go on and they aren't in a good enough financial situation to make it through.SeaWorld is asking everyone to write to lawmakers for assistance during the crisis. This is something pertaining to all theme parks, zoos, etc, and is a quick and easy form to submit:
Urge Congress and the White House to Support Theme Parks, Attractions and Accredited Zoos and Aquariums | SeaWorld Entertainment
Please support the employees of America's Theme Parks, Attractions, and Accredited Zoos & Aquariumsseaworldentertainment.com
Their stock (along with other theme park stocks) is WAY up the past two days, far and above the rest of the market. Wall Street seems to think there's a light at the end of the tunnel.So i'm gonna guess based on this that SeaWorld is seeing how long this could go on and they aren't in a good enough financial situation to make it through.

The question is who is in a position to buy them? Six Flags and Cedar Fair certainly aren't right now. Maybe Merlin?lol yeah sure
Or they think they’re ripe for acquisition and are getting in on the ground floor.

That's sort of what (partially) may happen for me with the Holiday blockout period in December.Wouldn't; do much good if it gets extended into a period with blackouts :/

I highly doubt Universal buys them. Although it would instantly give them THREE parks to add to their portfolio in Orlando + land to build hotels on."Hey Tom, I found a way to save money for our 3rd gate. And we don't even have to wait to build it"
