Eric-

This is great! We look forward to the visit. The SeaWorld VP for International Development, Doug Stagner, is the one who is making the trip for SeaWorld. He also brought to my attention the announcement a few days ago by Legoland to open in Shanghai http://variety.com/2015/biz/asia/merlin-china-media-capital-legoland-to-shanghai-1201623774/. As Anjun mentioned, Legoland is a Merlin property, which is also owned by BX. You can tell by Doug's tone, that he knows the Shanghai area is hot and there is a sense of urgency here, including the area in which our site is located.

What is not on Doug and SeaWorld's radar, is that there is also a Six Flags opening in Haiyan County (the county as our site at Nanbei Lake), which was recently announced as well http://www.themeparx.com/six-flags-china-parks/. This is not widely known yet, and we will point this site out to Doug.

I'm cautiously optimistic, but this is all trending in the right way. Bo and I will be able to give you a good read out after we get back from Shanghai from our site visit with SeaWorld in Oct 31.

Bo-

Just wanted to give you the latest on Anjan’s interactions with his former colleagues at Blackstone.

Anjan spoke to Joe Baratta who he said was “intrigued” by the Anjan’s update about the progress and site, etc.  Anjan didn’t have a long conversation about it with Joe but enough that it is definitely on Joe’s radar.  Joe also said he’d identify someone for Hunter and me to talk to further about it.

Anjan is also having dinner with Peter Wallace who is the other Blackstone rep on the SeaWorld board and the one who is more day-to-day.   That’s scheduled for 11/4 and if you can get us a download on the visit on the 30th, we can make sure Anjan is up to speed when he sees Peter on the 4th.  It could be perfectly timed as a way to follow up on the visit.

Let us know if you have any questions.

Best,

Eric
