 All right amusement insiders picture this It's been a few years since Marine land has even been open to the public You've been following along the drone updates and seeing as much as Brendan can catch with his drone But you're curious to see what all these changes are gonna look like in person the purchase happened years ago now and You've been patiently waiting and finally you're pulling your car up to the gates. You're ready to scan your pass, pay for parking, whatever it may be You round the corner and there you finally see the words Bush Gardens Niagara Falls Let's talk about it. All right, if you've seen the previous episodes of my segment you already know I'm your host Jasmine and we're here to wildly dream and speculate about things we would like to see at parks Welcome So Sorry, I have an itchy finger, you know, there's we never make it through one of these episodes without allergies interfering at some point. Okay Marine land, let's talk about it What made me even think about this again because it hasn't been in the news in a minute We haven't heard any updates from any inside sources in a minute But it's been on my mind. I want to know what the heck is going on with Marine land. Don't you? I've been seeing non-stop articles since like May About SeaWorld opening their first orca-free park in the UAE this year They're They're exaggerating this for a reason. I Am not saying this is happening. I'm just saying this is the industry Taking a turn in the way that we've been wanting it to especially for Marine land and SeaWorld is now finally Leading that charge and bragging about it. Now your personal feelings on how this is probably Way too late is one thing But I'm just talking about the clues that it is giving us as far as what's happening Within SeaWorld as an organization and within the industry The other thing I've noted since seeing those articles is SeaWorld is the only brand that's really doing major expansions right now Has anyone else noticed this? Other parks have been doing some selling Some you know investing in their existing parks, but other than Universal I'm not seeing like giant parks opening From other brands at the moment. SeaDurr Fair hasn't been opening any new parks or making any big acquisitions You know, we're just We're seeing that from very few chains right now and very few based on What the stocks look like are in a position to be doing such a thing, but SeaWorld Comparatively is actually doing all right Just thought that was interesting So this is gonna be a short one because this is really my main point is if we're looking at what's possible as far as Brands that could be or purchase potential purchasers that could be looking at buying the Marine land property and Those that have one have the ability to two aren't a good position to right now three Have a reason to and for SeaWorld they are on a brand strategy mission right now Let me put it that way they'd not read they're not really doing as much major brand repair work as they were when the blackfish Documentary first came out, but there's still a strong distaste for Animals in captivity for wrong reasons like there's one thing to have animals in captivity for rescue and rehabilitation reasons But for entertainment, there's a very strong distaste in the general public For that in general right now So we know SeaWorld is trying to make themselves look really shiny and great as a brand Who was for a long time known for keeping animals purposefully in captivity for nothing? But entertainment. Yes, they have their Charity work that they do they have their organizations that help to rescue animals and and that kind of stuff But let's be honest especially in the older days of SeaWorld. It was pretty much about entertainment So this brand is trying to create a new image for itself. It's in the process of expanding right now creating new parks and Imagine how good it would look for that brand to be the one that looks at Marine land and says Wow, they're really not treating these animals. Well, and we have the ability to fix that That would actually look really good on their image if they could come up and say hey We're we're buying this property and we're gonna make sure that these animals are in actual top-tier care not like what they say Allegedly but is allegedly not allegedly what's allegedly happening. If you if you know what I'm talking about What's currently going on at Marine land? anyways, if a big brand like SeaWorld came in and said look we want to prove to Canada that we truly are putting animals first We're not gonna keep these animals in our in this park anymore We're gonna Responsibly find ways to get them to proper care facilities and rescue facilities and you know facilities where they have more space to roam free and be free and be treated properly and we are going to open our second ever Orca-free park here in Canada and I just personally think that the bush gardens branding is better for Niagara Falls area It's a very like parks sort of mindset there like when I think of Niagara. I think of nature I think of Niagara parks and recreation. I think of You know like the butterfly conservatory like it's very Nature-y and bush gardens parks give me that very nature-y feel more so than SeaWorld parks So I just think that's a better fit brand-wise, but it's still the SeaWorld organization that I'm talking about And I do think they have reason I think it would look really good on them to be the ones that come and show Marine land how it should be done They have the money to Currently as far as the Investors are concerned. I think it would be good timing and I think they could get a good deal on the park because it's been sitting They've been trying to sell it for a minute now. Nothing is happening and yeah So those are my thoughts. What are your thoughts? Who would you like to see purchased it? Who do you think has the ability the reason and the resources at present? Share your thoughts below and I'll see you in the next video. Bye
