In , Belgian brewer InBev acquired Anheuser-Busch, and the next year sold the parks once again, this time to private equity firm The Blackstone Group, which also owned the Legoland theme parks and half of the Universal Orlando Resort.

Over the years and its several owners, SeaWorld helped developed many of what have become standard practices for the care and breeding of marine mammals in captivity, and SeaWorld animal care employees routinely lead or assist in the rescue, care, rehabilitation and reintroduction to the wild of injured marine mammals, seabirds and other wildlife. In , SeaWorld debuted a television show on the Disney-owned ABC network, Sea Rescue , which documents many of the parks' animal rescue and rehabilitation efforts.
For the park's 50th anniversary in , SeaWorld San Diego is revamping its entrance plaza as "Explorers Reef," designed to look as though visitors are walking under a wave into the bottom of the ocean, with touch pools that allow visitors to make immediate contact with some of the park's marine animals.

Sea World SD isn't just one of my favorite theme parks its one of my favorite places on the planet. The animal attractions are wonderful, the shows entertaining and kept fresh and the rides are all great fun. The setting itself is great. There are very rarely mobs of people like at Disney parks and the weather next to the San Diego coast is as perfect as can be.
A trip on the Bayside Skyride at sunset, the thrill of experiencing the Wild Arctic attraction for the first time, feeding a sea lion, watching Shamu Rocks and staying for the fireworks and of course going underwater with sharks are just some of my favorite memories and experiences at SWSD.
