Former head of Busch Gardens goes to Dubai

Former head of Busch Gardens, Donnie Mills, is set to run a new Busch venture in Dubai. According to the Daily Press, this will take place less than a year after his promotion from head of Busch Gardens Europe to run the sister theme park in Tampa, Fla. Busch Entertainment announced in February a partnership with the Middle East development firm Nakheel to develop a Busch Gardens, SeaWorld, Aquatica, and Discovery Cove by 2012. Mills will help set up and run the parks when he makes the transition in 2009.
