Will Titanic Weigh Anchor?

The Sentinel is reporting that The Mercado "has a date with a wrecking ball in September," which would suggest that Titanic - the Experience will have to find new digs.

David Christensen, Titanic spokesman, issued a somewhat cryptic statement today:
WLM, Inc., parent company of the Orlando based and family owned Titanic-The Experience, is finalizing agreements with developer Unicorp to ensure the attractions continued growth and success for many years to come on International Drive; the location the world renowned attraction has been proud to call home since 1998.

“We are excited and inspired by Unicorp’s bold and dynamic visions for International Drive” stated G. Michael Harris, a noted Titanic expert and expedition leader as well as WLM, Inc. President. “I look forward to our continued relationship with Unicorp and bringing Orlando a new and improved Titanic-The Experience”.

This doesn't really say that the attraction will stay put, merely that it will remain on International Drive. But where exactly?

Let me put on my Matt Drudge hat and breathlessly type . . . Developing . . .

Sounds to me like they'll be one of the tenants in the new place when it opens. They make it clear that they're staying with Unicorp. Does Unicorp own other property on International Drive?

From what the folks who work there tell me, Titanic and Sleuths both have guarantees that they'll have a home no matter what happens to the rest of the complex. Sleuths is planning on letting them build around their building, while Titanic has plans to move nearby and expand. I'll see if I can dig up some more...
