Orlando City Soccer Club has secured a place in the 2025 MLS Cup Playoffs for the sixth consecutive year.

The team clinched after New York City FC lost 3–2 to the Red Bulls in the Hudson River derby, a result that mathematically guaranteed Orlando a playoff berth regardless of their own remaining matches. Science!

Enzian Theater in Maitland is celebrating its 40th anniversary with a fundraising campaign for a major projection upgrade. The theater has announced a $150,000 capital campaign to install a reel-to-reel projection system capable of screening both 35mm and 70mm films, along with improvements to its sound system and projection screen.

The project will replace Enzian’s aging 35mm platter projector, which studios rarely approve for screenings, with state-of-the-art reel-to-reel equipment. This change will give the theater access to thousands of archival prints and historic works, while also allowing it to screen films in 70mm, a format embraced by more modern directors like Quentin Tarantino, Christopher Nolan, and Paul Thomas Anderson.

The first U.S. edition of the Red Bull Tandem Rollercoaster took place on Saturday, September 27, at Cranes Roost Lake in Altamonte Springs, drawing more than 40,000 spectators, and we have some amazing photos courtesy of Pascal Fouquet!

The event featured 30 teams racing tandem bicycles built to look like miniature rollercoasters along a raised course filled with dips and drops. Only 11 teams managed to complete the course without plunging into the lake.
