Anheuser-Busch InBev SA, the world's largest brewer, said Thursday that it will raise $2.7 billion from selling its U.S. theme parks to the Blackstone Group.
The sale of three SeaWorld parks, two Busch Gardens parks and five others is the largest of a string of AB InBev selloffs to help pay for the $52 billion takeover deal that formed it last year.
AB InBev's Busch Entertainment Corporation is the second-largest theme park operator in the United States after Disney and attracts some 25 million visitors every year.
