Screamscape reported that Sea World Parks and Entertainment is looking into the idea of making their parks resorts.
Could Busch become a resort in a few years? From Screamscape: Quote:Screamscape sources claim that SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment may be doing studies and making early plans to enter the resort biz in select markets. This is something that was looked at in the past under Anheuser-Busch leadership, where they even went so far as to announce their intentions to build a heavily themed African animal safari themed hotel on backside of the Savannah at Busch Gardens Tampa. (Only to fail to be willing to fund the effort on their own without an experience hotel operator... which allowed Disney to swoop in the copy their idea a couple of years later with the Animal Kingdom Lodge hotel.) |

Don't see it happening for a number of reasons.
Seaworld and BGT are both smack in the middle of a area that wouldn't allow it. BGW doesn't have enough disposable land to accommodate it (Just because land is open around the park doesn't mean it is possible). The infrastructure portion would be crucial on the pocket. |

I believe it could work at BGW but the costs of a project like this would be incredible and with all the money the park is spending along with continuing restructuring within the park ranks I just can't see this happening. The land is there though if they chose too.

Well does it necessarily have to be like Disney, and i thought BGW and Kingsmill were owned by the same Company and Kingsmill is like a BGW resort.

Kingsmill was purchased last year by Xterra Properties from Anheuser-Busch. All three facilities (BGW, brewery, Kingsmill) are now under three different owners.

I can't imagine a giant resort-hotel in the BGW area but a small/midsize themed hotel for the park would be kinda nice.

It would have to be small because i think a multistory building might break the theme a little if it was not built to look like an old european building.

The Virginia Gazette reported on April 23, 2011
Busch Gardens eyes its own hotel JAMES CITY — The next attraction at Busch Gardens may not be a coaster, but a hotel. Employees report that engineers have surveyed an area behind the Festhaus. Nothing has been filed yet with the county Planning office. “We can confirm the company conducted a hotel feasibility study in the Williamsburg area,” Busch Gardens spokesman Kevin Crossett said this week in response to an inquiry. He would not elaborate. |

"2014" would have to have surveying done soon in order for adequate planning to occur.

I find this quite funny- especially because they think that Busch could build a hotel before the 2012 coaster is completed. It often seems that news organizations are just as clueless about theme parks and coasters as the general public is. It's worth noting that this is the same news outlet that posted my terrible Mach Tower concept video that I made in RCT3 over a year ago in a news story about Mach Tower.

That statement should end any and all speculation of that location for a hotel. The only way to drive back there is through the employee lot, past gate three(or is it six) down the service roads. |
