 Ohio sale, re-birth, and eventual transition.
In February 2001, Anheuser-Busch sold the SeaWorld Ohio park to Six Flags, Inc., operators of neighboring "Six Flags Ohio" (Geauga Lake until the end of 1999, reverting to the "Geauga Lake" name in 2004).
Upon completion of the sale, the two parks were combined in spring 2001 as the so-called "mega-park" "Six Flags Worlds Of Adventure", which boasted its "Three parks in one" uniqueness: a waterpark, an amusement park, and a wildlife animal park - all included in one price of admission.
SeaWorld executives replied that their park had been sold because of the short season of the animal park, because of Northeastern Ohio's cold winter months, and also because they were not able to get the rights to build roller coasters like the other SeaWorld properties had been able to.
In March 2004, Six Flags, Inc., announced that it had sold "Six Flags Worlds of Adventure" to Cedar Fair Entertainment Company, the operators of the Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio.
Cedar Fair took the park back to its original "Geauga Lake" name, which had a history dating back to 1888.
Since the Six Flags company retained ownership of the animals, the majority of the animal portion of the park, including all of the exhibits and animal stadiums, was either emptied or fenced off for the 2004 season.
After a nearly season-long wait, the Cedar Fair company announced its plans for the non-operational side of the former SeaWorld Ohio/Six Flags Worlds of Adventure-Wildlife Side.
That entire portion of the land would become an immense waterpark, named "Wildwater Kingdom", opening in two phases, with the first phase in 2005, followed by the second phase in 2006.
This decision marked the end of the marine-life park permanently.
All of the animal stadiums and buildings were next torn down or converted into other venues.
Some of the SeaWorld property remained intact, albeit hidden or modified.
What remained included the former seal and sea lion area, the Ski Stadium (to be used in a Lumberjack show in 2006), the Aquarium (to be used for unknown purposes), and two movie theater houses/simulators, once housing 3D/4D movies.
The Ski Stadium was removed in off-season 2008 to make way for "Coconut Cove", a refreshment station/observation area.
All of these, except for Wildwater Kingdom, closed in 2007.
SeaWorld of Texas was developed by Harcourt, Brace, and Jovanovich (now Houghton Mifflin Harcourt).
Built for $170 million, it opened on Memorial Day weekend in May 27, 1988 and welcomed 75,000 people during the grand opening.
It had 3.3 million visitors in its first 12 months of operation, placing it among the Top 10 attractions in Texas.
At the time of the park's debut, it was billed as "the largest educational, marine-life theme park in the world.
"In 1989, Harcourt, Brace, and Jovanovich (heavy in debt and fighting a hostile takeover) sold its SeaWorld and Boardwalk and Baseball theme parks to Anheuser-Busch, Inc. Plans to build a Boardwalk and Baseball park adjacent to SeaWorld of Texas were immediately abandoned.
On 26 November 1988, Kayla (stage named "Baby Shamu") was the first killer whale born at SeaWorld San Antonio.
Under Anheuser-Busch ownership, SeaWorld San Antonio closed less popular attractions such as the Texas Walk, the U.S. Map Plaza, and the Garden of Flags and added its popular Budweiser Clydesdales to the park.
In 2008, Anheuser-Busch merged with InBev; soon after, the newly merged company sold the SeaWorld parks to Blackstone Group. 
SeaWorld Ohio was a park in the SeaWorld chain of marine animal theme parks.
The park opened in 1970 directly across from Geauga Lake in Aurora, Ohio, United States.
In 2001, SeaWorld sold the park to Six Flags, combining it with Geauga Lake to form Six Flags Worlds of Adventure.
The park was completely demolished after the 2003 season and was rebuilt into Wildwater Kingdom for the 2005 season. 
When founded in 1964, SeaWorld San Diego was the first of its kind to feature a Dolphin Cove.
In 1970, the second park SeaWorld Ohio was built in Aurora, Ohio, near Cleveland; it featured a Dolphin Cove.
In 1973, the third Dolphin Cove opened together with SeaWorld Orlando.
In 1988, the fourth Dolphin Cove in SeaWorld San Antonio opened its doors.
In January 2001, SeaWorld Ohio was sold to Six Flags resulting in the exhibit's closure. 
On 20 February 1991, Keltie Byrne, a 20-year-old student and part-time orca trainer, slipped and fell into the whale pool after a show.
The three orcas dragged and repeatedly submerged her until she drowned, despite other trainers' efforts to rescue her.
The poor relations between the whales, unfamiliarity with trainers in the water, and the pregnancy of at least one of the females (Haida II) were cited as possible causes.
Witnesses of the drowning said it was Tilikum that took Byrne under the water, and was the aggressor in the drowning.
Sealand of the Pacific closed shortly after the incident in November of 1992, all three of whales were sold to SeaWorld in the United States.
Tilikum and Nootka IV went to SeaWorld Orlando, while Haida II and her baby Kyuquot went to SeaWorld San Antonio.
As of February 2010, only Tilikum and Kyuquot were alive.
