“We continue to argue that the potential for SEAS to close the multi-year attendance gap from the 2012/2013 levels (i.e., before Blackfish) represents a meaningfully positive opportunity for profitability and cash flow on a much more streamlined operating platform compared to the 2012/2013 period. We are reiterating our Buy rating and $37 PT.”
