Is this the last year for Rudolph? I ask because in Manby's Seaworld releases yesterday, thy mention Rudolph coming to those parks next year. Did HFE sublicense rights or did Seaworld aquire them going forward? It raises suspicion that once Seaworld is stabilized one may aquire the other or are we seeing a strategic partnership being formed?

Manby connection or not...it makes no sense to me why HFE would want to partner with SeaWorld in any fashion right now. They are a company in turmoil with way too much controversy surrounding them. Why tarnish the HFE name to those who are against SeaWorld right now? Doesn't line up for me.

Also, didn't SDC just start using Rudolph last season? That would be a very short run.

Well SeaWorld is using it so some deal has been struck.

You're probably right but I'm just saying I do not agree with it.

Well DW and SDC are nowhere near any of the SEAS parks so what does it matter?

I wasn't in the barn,  I was on the south side of building between it and RB fence,,,,   Where the kids line up to see santa outside...  

didn't even look inside.  I will in 2 weeks...

Explains why I missed it..

It doesn't matter if SeaWorld has Rudolph. Wasn't my point. I don't want the Herschend name to be associated with SeaWorld right now. Doesn't make any business sense to me.  I was just referencing the rumors of SeaWorld buying out Herschend which we have talked about before, and I do not want that to happen.

Anyway, back on topic.

Just interesting that it's being licensed out and to Manby Sorry to invade ChristmasRudolph's2016 safe space.

Don't be a DB.  Like your university is any better - and if you think that the same crap won't come to Fayettenam sooner or later you're living in a fantasy world. 

Want to discuss SDC, do it.  If you want to be an a$$hat, go somewhere else.

That escalated quickly... Herschend does not own Rudolph, they simply have licensing rights. Anyone can have the licensing rights to a product, this has nothing to do with HFE and Seaworld, it has everything to do with Manby and his marketing background.

You'd figure they'd want exclusivity to those rights in a theme park settings considering they are now basing  so much of their Christmas season on those. Didn't SDC alone drop 1 million  into rethemeing the parade to this IP. I don't see SF having to share WB, DC, and HB cartoons IPs. If it has to do with just  Manby, mighty nice of him to leave that backdoor unlocked before he left.
