No More Free Beer At SeaWorld, Busch Gardens


Hospitality Centers To Close Within Month


The owner of SeaWorld Orlando and Busch Gardens in Tampa has decided to stop offering free beer samples at the parks.

Busch Entertainment Corp. said it will stop offering free samples of beer at hospitality centers at the parks. Beer will continue to be available for purchase.

The company said it will retain the employees who worked at the centers.

The hospitality center at SeaWorld Orlando will close on Feb 1 and be turned into a restaurant. The one at Busch Gardens in Tampa also will become a place to eat after it closes at the end of January.

Enquiring minds want to know.

6. At $70 a person to get in (BG), the couple bucks in free beer was ruining them.

They're talking about selling the parks as well.

Seriously, I don't know how long they can last in this environment.
