I think they know that but nothing in the statement is false. Bush Gardens is far from Orlando, and it does not have a killer whale.

Busch Gardens Tampa is 72 miles from SeaWorld Orlando. The local theme park does not have a killer whale anywhere on its 335 mostly dry acres...tbo.com

Sure, but I was just pointing out the reason why these people are backing out...because Busch Gardens is associated with SeaWorld.

Like with any kind of boycott, it usually encompasses the parent company and their entities...because the hand of one is the hand of all in their minds.

Not saying I agree with it or anything, just wanted to clarify.

I am asking the Moderator to remove your video. This site should not house Political or controversial videos and topics. This is a relocation forum and I object to you posting this video on this site.

Just gave Busch a couple hundred $$ for a 2-yr pass to their amusement park - I've been going there since the 60s with my grandparents. Kind of bummed when they took away the free beer sampling pavillion, but other than that, always a happy place to visit. Pat Benatar and the Beach Boys be damned.

Which video was political or controversial?

Also, this forum isn't just for "relocation" as you say- FYI.

We missed out on the free beer sampling when we moved down, bummer. We did get a one year pass the first year we moved down and really enjoyed that- I only wish we could have paid a certain price for parking along with it, but I guess $15 to enter a park and ride all you want after the up front cost wasn't so bad either.

I expect there will be a lot of ASPCAersand/or Greenpeacers picketing outside the gates of Busch over the next couple of months.

Looks like the Marshall Tucker Band isn't trying to be politically correct.

Refreshing.
