Legoland Owner’s Junk Bonds Slide Amid Refinancing Pressure

LEGOLAND OWNER MERLIN ENTERTAINMENTS FACES JUNK BOND PRESSURE AMID REFINANCING CRUNCH

Merlin Entertainments, the operator behind Legoland and other global theme parks, is seeing its junk bonds slide as refinancing pressure mounts on over $800 million in debt. Consumer budget squeezes are dampening theme park attendance and revenues, complicating the company's efforts to refinance at favorable terms.
