WASHINGTON — Officials at Anheuser-Busch have extended their offer of free theme park admission for active-duty servicemembers through 2006, allowing troops and up to three family members a free day of rest and roller coasters.

The offer is good at all of the company’s theme parks, which include SeaWorld, Busch Gardens and Sesame Place. The company has eight parks in five states.

Any active-duty servicemember, reservist or guardsman is entitled to free admission under the program. Families of troops serving overseas also are eligible to visit the parks in the military personnel’s absence.

Civilian defense workers are not eligible for the free tickets. To claim the tickets, recipients must supply a valid service ID or military dependent ID.

Anheuser-Busch officials said more than 900,000 troops and family members took part in the program in 2005.

I took advantage of that back in the summer of 2004 when they did it, and I was still active duty.

My mom and sister came to visit, so they let all of us get in for free! Quite a pleasant suprise!


I'd also like to note that every day is fun when you're in the military.

I think it is a nice thing for them to do.

I am sure there is an idea behind it to get good press and so on, plus they know they will still make money on many people buying food, drink and other merchandise and games.

But still as much as gate prices these days are at amusement parks it is a nice thing for them to do.
