Death of the Orlando FlexTicket?

  
  
A longstanding alliance between Universal Orlando and SeaWorld OrlandoSeaWorld Orlando is approaching a crossroads.

After nearly 15 years of selling joint ticket packages, the two resorts must decide within the next year and a half whether they want to continue selling the "Orlando FlexTicket." The contract governing the joint passes - which offer 14 days of unlimited admission to both Universal's and SeaWorld's collection of theme parks - comes up for renewal in December 2011.

The impending renegotiation will offer one of the first signs of whether Universal and SeaWorld will align themselves even more closely following last year's roughly $2.5 billion purchase of SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment (formerly Busch Entertainment Corp.) by the private-equity giant Blackstone Group from Anheuser-Busch InBev. Blackstone already co-owns Universal Orlando with General Electric Co.'s NBC Universal.

Last year there were about 300,000 FlexTickets sold, but as a travel agent I can say that the FlexTicket has dropped severely in popularity over the past few years. I say it would need a pricing restructure at the very least. It would be amazing if they could add the coming LegoLand Orlando park on there as well.
