That rumor sucks! I actually grew up going to Seaworld Orlando more than Disney whenever my family vacationed in Florida. It was my 2nd home and I have fond memories seeing all the animals, especially the killer whales, in person and seeing the amazing interaction between the animals and their caretakers. It’s unfortunate that Seaworld had some bad PR situations that negates all the good they do with animal rescue and conservation. I really hope this rumor isn’t true!

SeaWorld just dropped their Q2 and First Six Months 2020 results. Attendance was 300,000 in Q2 2020 (compared to 6.5 million in Q2 2019) and revenue was $18 million (compared to $406 million in Q2 2019).
SeaWorld also said that they’re considering acquiring smaller amusement parks, water parks, and hotels. They want to rebrand some of those smaller parks into Sesame Place parks to add to the current one in Pennsylvania and planned one in California.
Well it seems that SeaWorld is still on a path to bankruptcy. Now this article is lot of complicated businessy words (at least to me), but in summary, SeaWorld has a bunch of debt, and even though they’ve reopened most of their parks, operating at limited capacity combined with their poor performance could still lead to a bankruptcy
