About United Parks & Resorts

United Parks makes fun theme parks for families. These parks offer roller coasters and up-close animal sightings. The company also rescues and protects many injured animals.

Where the Fun Happens

  • SeaWorld: Marine-life parks with animal sightings and thrill rides; operates in three U.S. cities.
  • Busch Gardens: Themed destinations featuring high-speed roller coasters and exotic animal habitats.
  • Water Parks: Tropical-themed sites with slides and pools under brands like Aquatica and Adventure Island.
  • Sesame Place: Theme parks designed specifically for young children and fans of the Sesame Street television show.
  • In-Park Offerings: Food, beverages, and merchandise sold to guests inside the various park locations.

Recent Moves and New Rides

  • Changed the corporate name to United Parks & Resorts Inc. in February 2024.

  • Launched the SeaWorld Coral Rescue Center inside its Orlando park in 2023.
  • Introduced the Big Bad Wolf: The Wolf's Revenge roller coaster at its Virginia location in 2025.

What Makes the Parks Different

The company manages one of the largest collections of animals globally, creating a unique attraction that is difficult for competitors to copy. Most parks are grouped in geographic clusters, which allows the company to share marketing and administrative costs across multiple sites.

The Latest Numbers

  • Revenue was $373.5 million in Q4 2025, down 2.8% from Q4 2024.
  • Net income fell to $15.1 million in Q4 2025, down 46% from the previous year.

  • Free cash flow rose to $128.7 million in Q4 2025, up 49.2% from Q4 2024.

Bottom Line
