MOIA America welcomes riders in Orlando with Beep. Milestone marks MOIA America's first passenger rides in the U.S. Invited passengers in the Orlando community of Lake Nona are now booking and taking rides aboard self-driving ID. Buzz vehicles, marking MOIA America's first passenger operations in the U.S. and a significant milestone in its collaboration with Beep on autonomous mobility services. This passenger ride phase represents the next stage of testing in Lake Nona, adding passenger operations to MOIA America’s ongoing testing and validation activities across U.S. markets. Invited riders can experience the service by requesting trips directly through the Beep mobile app and providing feedback to help inform future operations. They will board and depart self-driving ID. Buzz vehicles at dedicated pickup and drop-off locations along three planned routes within the Lake Nona community. During this phase, the vehicles will operate with highly trained onboard human operators. Through a strategic partnership with Beep, MOIA America provides the MOIA brand’s turnkey autonomous mobility solution. This includes autonomous ID. Buzz vehicles equipped with the self-driving system developed by Mobileye, a Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) software platform, as well as operator training and enablement. The integrated solution helps autonomous vehicle fleet operators deploy and manage an autonomous driving ecosystem, starting in Lake Nona. “This deployment is a defining milestone in our journey to make autonomous mobility a practical and scalable transportation option for communities across the United States," said Mark Reid, co-founder and Senior Vice President of Beep. “The launch of passenger service in Lake Nona, with vehicles now operating at full traffic speeds, represents the introduction of an end-to-end autonomous microtransit solution that can expand access, strengthen connectivity through on-demand capabilities, and serve as a natural extension of existing mobility networks. Together, Beep and MOIA America are advancing the development and deployment of shared autonomous mobility.” “Welcoming riders represents an exciting and important milestone for MOIA America as we introduce our first public-facing autonomous mobility experience in the U.S.,” said Paul DeLong, Co-President for MOIA America. “Each trip helps us better understand how people interact with autonomous transportation in everyday settings while demonstrating how this technology can support growing communities and complement existing transportation networks.” As MOIA America and Beep advance autonomous mobility offerings in Lake Nona, interested riders can join the Beep waitlist to receive updates on future ride opportunities and the ongoing development of autonomous transportation services across Central Florida at www.ridebeep.com/CUGT.

TROUPE 13 A mysterious traveling circus, Troupe 13, rolls into the city one fall evening. Larger than life acts bring the city to life with fortune tellers, animals, freaks, and clowns. But the circus begins to cast a somber shadow over the town. Rumors about the troupe kidnapping citizens and torturing them in heinous side shows after dark spread throughout the town. Are these rumors true? What is the real reason for the arrival of Troupe 13? The 13th Blood Rite Deep in the villages of Transylvania lies a mysterious castle. Legend has it that on the nights of the full moon, Lord Drakov comes down from the castle into the graveyard with his stewards and lures victims to consume their blood. He collects the victims into an army of undead creatures. The local townspeople do not dare go near the castle lest they be ensnared. Doors are locked and boarded during the nights of the full moon. But this year, the 13th blood moon will rise. If Lord Drakov can fulfill the 13 blood rites he will be able to master the moon and the sun, officially ruling over Transylvania. Will you escape these Vampires or will you become one of his blood sucking creatures? Symphony No. 13 Musical composer, Sebastian Eldritch, has been grieving the loss of his wife. Some of those close to him suspect foul play but the official report is that she took her own life. Drowning in his grief and longing for his wife, Sebastian turned to music to ease his soul. He discovered a melody of 13 notes and repeatedly played the melody. A dark veil began to fall over his mansion. He began to hear voices, see things. Suddenly, his wife appeared above his piano. Believing he had discovered a melody that brought her back from the dead, he would play this symphony every night to see her. But instead other worldly spirits appeared and plagued his mind, tormenting him. Now they haunt his mansion and will not go back to the underworld. Will you escape their torment or will Sebastian plunge you into his Symphony No. 13? Legends of Halloween Haunted Hayride In addition to this year's 3 haunted trails, Legends of Halloween Haunted Hayride returns this spooky season!
