I realize this.

Actually, I don't see many differences at all in the park that could be because of Blackstone (except the horses and the logos).

Well whatever the reason, I agree with Swifty, I feel like I've left Busch Gardens and entered Six Flags.
 
Count me in for the anti Euro-pop crowd. BGW is supposed to be 16th-17th century themed Europe... the music is distracting and clashes with the decor. I cringe just thinking about it.

I still enjoy seeing the old AB logos here and there and I think the park should not only keep them, but embrace them. I mean, AB built the park and having the historical markers makes sense. I still smile seeing the stained glass window in the Festhaus with the big Eagle logo and the banner on the left that says Hastings.

I love that window. When I was giving my first-timer friends the grand tour, we spent a lot of time standing and talking about the window and the history of the park in relation to it. Generated a little group of listeners, too. :D

Do you think the removal of most of the logos is more of a legal thing? Like InBev or whoever says they're not allowed to have them around as much anymore? I know some of the sinks and tree-grates still have the logo on them, and the fountains/statues that were the Busch family's still talk about the history.
