Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, unlike the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals, which involves consciousness and emotionality. The distinction between the former and the latter categories is often revealed by the acronym chosen.

I don't think they will stop this one. They let Cedar Fair / 6 flags go through despite them having basically 0 competition. They basically found like 2 parks they didn't own n said see? We have competition. Surely parks will close, land will be sold, and prices will go up as a result of this merger. Krogway just has to say look, wmt and tgt exist so it's fine, and they will rubber stamp it.
Maybe, maybe not. If we're going to bring totally unrelated industries into the mix, Spirit and JetBlue airlines had their merger blocked. Airlines and grocery stores have a bigger public interest in not having monopolies than theme parks, which often have arguable monopolies in many places already if a major city only has one theme park.
More importantly, you said that they're already the same company. That is definitely not the case at this point.
