Description
Busch Entertainment Corporation used to be a division of Anheuser-Busch, operating the theme parks that were owned by that group.
History
Busch Entertainment Corporation was founded in 1979 to support the growth of the Busch Gardens theme parks, such as Busch Gardens Tampa Bay which opened already in 1959. After Anheuser-Busch was acquired by InBev, the theme park division was sold to the Blackstone Group in 2009. Busch Entertainment Corporation was included in their SeaWorld Entertainment division.
