I would not be surprised if they developed a third brand to separate the Cedar Fair properties from Busch Gardens and SeaWorld. Both of those parks are in a different price (and quality) tier. Busch Gardens Tampa and SeaWorld Orlando are charging $89.99 for admission. Meanwhile, I can get into Knott's Berry Farm for $59. There's also a certain level of quality you can expect from a Busch Garden's park compared to any of the Cedar Fair properties.
 
Hi I know that this is an older thread but I can’t find a better place to put my question in. Apologies if this question has already been asked and answered or speculated about in this thread or another one but what will happen to all of Sea Worlds orca exhibits once all of the orcas have passed away? Will they wreck them and replace them with something new or will they just get repurposed? Also has Sea World released any info about this and does any one have any speculation ideas?

Seaworld haven't talked about this thus far. Orcas are relatively long lived species so considering the youngest individuals are only in their early teens they could very well still be at the parks in 50 years time. There's really no use planning that far ahead, and in all likelihood, we probably won't know for a long time until those days come.

A easy replacement would just be putting dolphins in there; giving them more space and room, but going forward half a century who knows if these current exhibits will still be of adequate standard. The complexes themselves will also be pushing a century in use too which is also something to keep in mind; so demolition is also a chance imo.
 
We have no way to really know, it is a long time down the road. That said, currently SeaWorld is focusing more on thrill rides, so IMO I would not be surprised in the least if it turned out they demolished the stadium and put in a new rollercoaster or two. But the direction of development could change drastically between now and then, so we can hope that it is some sort of animal exhibit or show.
