RE: Rumor: Busch Parks to Be Sold Off?
WHEWWWWWWWWWWW This is a fun one. You get a boring 9-5 desk job and something like this surfaces, makes you pop in to see what is going on. WOWzers, Batman, what is going on in Gotham City. Wait, that is not at BGW is it? What is going on in the Olde Country? Whoops, it is not really the old country any more now either? What is going on with that park in Williamsburg? Guess we will have to leave it in that boring manner. MMM yea made me yawn on that one too. Good tarnations and fried pickles this is golden.
NOW NOW NOW, let's all settle back on down and take off the Pampers and actually put a little bit of thought into this. Why could this be happening? It is no secret that Blackstone has loaded the company up with debt, pocketed the bulk of IPO dollars, and more than likely is looking for another cash grab. Hmmmm, now that sounds plausible don't ya think? Dun dun dun That sounds possible. Hey, I answered myself (should we call the docs, CAPTAIN?!??!). Let's place the pieces in order with where we currently stand on this. Now, I have not been around here obviously; big boy job takes up a ton of time and prevents from doing those things once enjoyed. Never grow up, kids! Move to Never Neverland! But from what I read after Shane sent me an email inquiring on this topic today I dove into the forums after being getting off for the Fireworks, holiday, and Budweiser free holiday and noticed a few things. First off, Illuminights has been scaled back from what Swift has stated. Secondly, EitA closed. Third off, Food and Wine was supposed to be extended but was cut. Why would that have been cut unless it was not the true cash grab originally intended. Someone chime in and correct me if anything is out of order. Other variables to take into account is how has concert attendance been? They cost some coin and unless three quarters of the seats are filled then they are not a success.
From the sounds of this it looks to me like they are decreasing operating costs which can in turn give a short term boost to park value. Now why raise the value in the short term you ask? GOOD QUESTION, JOHNNY, it is exactly what needed to be brought up. Going on pure speculation and looking at where chips have fallen in the short amount of time I have today. BOOM! Potential selloff. That is not me saying that IS for that but the cards clearly are somewhat pointing in that direction. It would be another massive cash grab for the big business man on Wall Street. Assuming the SeaWorld parks stay in the company it COULD provide some additional cash for those. Nah, that wouldn't happen, it would just be a big cash grab.
Now now now, let's hang in there for a few more minutes. I know reading long pieces of words are hard today with short hand texting and that nonsense you kids love nowadays. AB buying the parks back? Impossible and they technically did not carry out the sale. Let's keep this paragraph straight forward before people start talking about Cedar Fair buying one of these things. IF a sale were to go down, emphasis on IF (maybe I should use multi colored, largest size, underlike, bold, and lean to the side font to make IF clear?), AB is out, not happening. Focus in that company is 100% on beer as beer sales are somewhat heading into decline. Overall volume of sales are declining but dollar numbers are up a hair due to slight price increases to accomadate for lack of sales. Did I not read that their yellow fizzy stuff that tastes like urine is getting a new can that holds less beer but going up in price? Nope not in a position buy theme parks when they're pedaling to keep up in the beer industry. Scrap that idea. Gone with the wind. POOF. Abra Kadabra (wait that was ripped off by those Pokemon games my little nephew played years ago).
Focus should be turned elsewhere. IF something like this were to go down who would have cash to do something like this. No, you silly Apple fanbois, not them even though they are rolling in dough. Entertainment companies would come in. Someone who can afford it. You can bet that IF something of this nature were to occur that the price will be higher than a 3 series BMW. Nevermind, I lied that's the poor man's Beeeeeeeemur. You put somethign expensive of your choosing in. See the fan involvement I allow? Gee, I really am good at this kinda stuff. Let's take a gander into what would be unexpected. No no no I don't mean Dodge buying the park. If you are thinking that then you have some real issues.
This is all speculation from quick readings, looking at pieces of the puzzle and how they fit (no I am not wedging a corner piece into the middle like I have read in this thread) somethign seems up though. Whether is be cutting costs to reflect better on stock prices or boosting value like Viagra on 'Ole Hugh to sell off. Time will tell but the cards are falling in a more specific order than a fixed casino to a sale.
