*** BREAKING NEWS ***

Chisholm Properties Circuit Events, LLC was sued today by Univeral City Development Partners, Ltd...aka Universal Orlando. Which owns Universal Islands of Adventure, Universal Studios Florida, and Wet 'n Wild.

[The] state court filing images here:



...plus the corporate ID of Univeral City Development Partners, Ltd to what is more commonly known as Universal Orlando...

...plus Universal Orando's website, thrown in for good measure.

What is this suit about? How much is it for? What exactly did Chisholm do to piss off Universal Orlando?

And the answers to these questions...I know not. Again, it's a state court filing, and unlike the Federal case, the actual docs are not easily obtainable by me. All I can tell you is this lawsuit popped up in the Orange County, FL court system today, and Universal is the plaintiff, Johnny the defendant.

But we can safely infer, I think, that this is probably not good news for Johnny Chisholm.

The suit appears to be almost the entire unpaid balance owed to Universal Orlando from a Chisholm event held there in 2008: $217,779.47, plus accrued interest.

I guess this would explain why Universal venues were not considered as an alternate when Disney rejected him during this most recent crisis of 2009.

How many theme parks are left in Orlando?

[Dennis Brown on GDAD then proceeded to partially answer that somewhat rhetorical question I posed at the end there, finding this one Orlando theme park Johnny Chisholm is (probably) not deeply in debt to (yet).]
