1328 ET - United Parks & Resorts plans to invest more money into SeaWorld Orlando, CEO Marc Swanson says on a call with analysts. Central Florida is expected to see an uptick in visitors thanks to the opening of Epic Universe, a new theme park by competitor Universal. Swanson hopes new investments will sway some of these travelers coming to Orlando for Epic to add on a visit to SeaWorld as well. He notes that SeaWorld has opened a new flying simulator ride called "Expedition Odyssey" and says, "We have some other things coming as well." United Parks & Resorts rises 3% despite posting a wider loss and lower 1Q revenue. (connor.hart@wsj.com)
