Universal Orlando faces cash squeeze next year if it can't refinance large loans


Recommended Posts

Orlando's No. 2 theme-park resort is warning that it could face a cash crunch by next spring, as turmoil in the credit markets -- and an obscure clause in its long-standing contract with famed filmmaker Steven Spielberg -- complicate its efforts to restructure nearly $1 billion of debt.

Has me wondering about HHN. If they cut spending for it more than last years it could be a wasted trip again. All the talk and rumors last year made it sound

like it was to be one of the best. After getting there it looked like they cut funding and sent half the employees home.

It's interesting on the numbers here having 10 million attendance and 1 billion debt and can't get refinanced. Then look at another park chain that has 13 million attendance and 2 billion debt needing refinanced. :o
