Titanic Sinks
Titanic, The Experience is out on the street.
After a nasty landlord-tenant battle, the landlord unceremoniously evicted the long-running attraction from its home in the Mercado on International Drive.
I had been told that the attraction was going to be moving to new digs nearby. Whether that's still a possibility is unknown.
WESH has more, plus video.
After a nasty landlord-tenant battle, the landlord unceremoniously evicted the long-running attraction from its home in the Mercado on International Drive.
The developer and the exhibit owner have very different stories about the dispute that led to Monday's eviction.
Unicorp Chief Executive Officer Chuck Whittal said a state Circuit Court ruling last week effectively put an end to confrontation, giving him the right to remove the exhibit from his property.
"I wanted them to be part of the redevelopment," Whittal said. "The project we are going to redevelop is spectacular."
But Michael Harris, owner of the Titanic exhibit, said he offered a variety of proposals for remaining in the Mercado, none of which was acceptable to Unicorp.

Hi Kelly,
I enjoy this blog a lot and was curious whether there was any decision on Poseidon's Fury yet? Does it stay or go?
Thanks!
Elisa

Oh GOOD! Thank you, Kelly! :)
I am a big Jeffrey Combs fan and this is one of the only "appearances" of his I haven't seen. (He plays Lord Darkennon). I'd hate to miss it! I've heard Poseidon's Fury is great fun.
One of these days, I'll get to Orlando! :)
Thanks again.

Elisa,
The most recent word is that the "closing notice" I blogged about was removed, and was perhaps never "official" in the first place. I'd still expect some downtime this winter, but now it will more likely be for routine maintenance. More news (wild rumor and speculation) as it updates! ;-)
