    Next stop... Parks Central. We're back with our longtime panelists Michael Sandoval from MuseTV.net and Norm Gidney from HorrorBuzz.com as we discuss the future of theme park food festivals, where they intersect with haunts and why entering a person-sized vagina isn't good show. For this and more, give us a listen. And be sure to check the backlog of episodes to make sure you don't miss a moment of fun. Follow us on Instagram @parkscentral.

    Getting a Taste is Better Than the Real Thing

    Getting a Taste is Better Than the Real Thing

    Next Stop... Parks Central. This week, host Charly Shelton gets some feelings off his chest, with a historical view to why the virus is more dangerous with travel and how going to smaller events — like food festivals or even just grabbing dinner at Universal CityWalk — can be better than going to a full theme park day right now. Follow us on social media — @ParksCentral on Instagram — to interact and get more coverage throughout the week.

    COVID Kills Halloween

    Next stop... Parks Central. Today it was announced that Universal Studios Hollywood and Orlando will not be holding their annual Halloween Horror Nights events this year due to COVID-19. What a bummer. One of our panelists, Norm Gidney from HorrorBuzz.com, is understandably upset . We talk about the ramfications of the cancellation and what we would like to see in future haunts.
