Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament is a family dinner theater featuring staged medieval-style games, sword-fighting, and jousting.
wikipedia: SYNOPSIS - The arriving guests are served bread and soup as they wait for the show to begin. It opens with the narration of the horse, followed by an Andalusian stallion running in the arena (Horse at Liberty), guided by the Master of Horse. Next, a light show sets the theme and also divides the West side (Yellow, Black and White, Red) from the East side (Blue, Red and Yellow, Green). Each color represents a different city in the kingdom.
Lord Chancellor, adviser to the King and the MC for the show, then introduces the knights of the realm and gives a back story to each color's section. King Carlos, knights, squires, and various serfs and wenches parade out; the King and Chancellor then make their way to the dais where they introduce Princess Catalina and call for a toast.
The Long Reins, or Long Lines part of the show demonstrates the skills of the horses, including the Trot in Place, the Passage, and the Capriole. Then the Master Falconer releases a falcon, which flies about, often directly above the guests' heads. A feast of chicken, corn-on-the-cob, and potato is then served.
The King's guards perform choreographed maneuvers, and the Chancellor and the Princess make paid announcements of birthdays or other special events. Fog and haze fill the arena, and the Herald of the North appears; he announces that his King, Lord Ulrich, promises Don Carlos a gift if he will accept it. He agrees, although the Princess warns him of the threat Lord Ulrich has posed to other kingdoms.
Next, knights on horseback compete at games, including catching rings on a lance, flag passing, and javelin tossing. After each game the Princess gives the winning knights carnations to throw to the ladies of their section. Those of the East and West then compete in a relay challenge. The Princess gives each winning knight a ribbon which they present to one lady; these are the queens of the tournament.[3][11]
At this point the promised gift from Lord Ulrich arrives: a trained Andalusian stallion. The Master of Horse and the stallion perform various tricks. The Herald of the North then announces that Lord Ulrich wants to unite the two kingdoms by marrying Princess Catalina. Knowing of Lord Ulrich's previous nefarious dealings, Don Carlos tells the Herald to return to his King with a refusal.
The jousts and fights begin; the winners change from show to show. Large nets protect the audience from the wooden splinters from the lances and flying weapons. For the jousts, each knight picks an opponent from the opposite side; the winner is determined by the last one to fall, and he is given the opportunity to strike the opponent with the weapon of his choice in the subsequent fight to the death on foot. For the fights, a knight throws a glove to another and they battle on horseback or on foot. The winner of the final match is named champion of the tournament, and chooses one of the ladies from the audience to be the Queen of Love and Beauty.
The Herald of the North now declares that he must either return to Lord Ulrich with the Princess or die in battle against a knight of the King's choosing. The King asks the Champion of the tournament if he will accept the Herald's challenge. There is a climactic fight with the Champion and his squire against the Herald and his two squires. The squires are slain, and the Champion defeats the Herald. The King asks the Herald, now in chains, to return to his King and withdraw his request, but the Herald says that he would rather die. The King decides that the Herald is too valiant to be slain and sentences him to life in prison. He is dragged away to the dungeon.
The show ends with a celebration of the Champion knight; then all of the characters appear in the arena to take their bows. In 1973, a medieval re-enactment dinner theater was set up by Jose Montener on his estate on the Spanish island of Mallorca. Later a private company was formed, and in 1977, a castle was opened in Benidorm, Spain. With the support of investors the show moved to the United States, the first Medieval Times location opened in Orlando on December 20, 1983. In 1989, this location was expanded with an unique medieval village not offered at other locations.
Vacation to Spain Magic Natura Aqua Park
Hi, this is the second of my summer vacation videos from Spain when we went to the Magic Natura Animal Waterpark and Polynesian Lodge Resort.
This video is filmed at the waterpark with a waterproof GoPro, there is no talking to the camera as the sound isn’t that good. The water park was brilliant and just a 5 minute walk from the resort. There is also a minibus that can take you but we walked.
I am not sure if my video shows it but you use inflatable rings for some of the slides and you can wait at the bottom to get them off someone coming down or rent them, the rented ones are different colours. Dad said they cost about 4 or 5 Euros and you get a deposit back too. The sun beds can also be rented but as we were from the resort attached to the park so we got them included.
There is a food place in my video and this is for the guests of the resort and the food and drink is free, we didn’t go into the regular restaurant but you can see some of the signs when we walk round.
We had a brilliant time and loved every minute.
Hope you like this video, please subscribe and give thumbs up if you like it. Hope to get more of the resort videos out soon.
