God bless Mark Baratelli for saving us from our own shitty burgers and even worse stadium food. Now, on home match days, instead of wilty chili cheese fries and $8 Heinekens, we can feast on lobster rolls, wood-fired pizza, ropa vieja and mac & cheese-filled empanadas until kickoff.

Looking to get elevated on I-Drive? We’d never advise anything illegal (and there’s absolutely no smoking inside the air-conditioned capsules), but we can’t think of a better place to get reeeeeally high than Merlin Entertainment’s new Orlando Eye observation wheel at I-Drive 360. During your 20-odd-minute odyssey up to 400 feet and back, you’ll be able to see for miles and miles and miles – so long as a sudden lightning storm doesn’t turn your revolution into a bad trip.

Forget adult coloring books – blow off your adult frustrations with the game you always played during recess in elementary school.

The new Peter Jackson Kong movie is on its way, so naturally the powers that be at IOA are planning to tap into the hype behind the blockbuster, as well as capture the sentimental set who still remember the epic Kongfrontation ride that closed in 2002.
