SeaWorld Picks NYSE as IPO Habitat - Deal Journal - WSJ

ew York Stock Exchange has landed a big splash: SeaWorld Entertainment.Getty Images
The aquatic theme-park operator has picked the big board for its looming IPO, it said in a filing Tuesday.
The new filing from SeaWorld — owned by private equity firm Blackstone Group, which has taken to borrowing some penguins – also bulked up its risk disclosures.
The changes to language, which typically come after prodding from an SEC reading, give a clearer view into what the company sees as its dangers. SeaWorld gave the economy its own separate risk factor and put it first.

While there still might be some back channel discussions going on about a purchase, I do believe that most of those have stalled out, and that Blackstone is looking to take this to the open market.
