You have gone back some 1000 years in time. King Alphonso
the Magnificent has decided to have a contest between
his knights.
Games, jousting and hand-to-hand combat will
be used to pick a winner. Welcome to the Medieval Times
Dinner and Tournament !
A
Knight astride a horse is an impressive sight and much
effort goes on behind the scenes.
Medieval Knights start
as Squires. Knighthood comes after 375 hours of grueling
training. |
|
|
Only agile and strong gymnasts can hope to become
knights. You can purchase Medieval Times Tickets
online. The ring pierce is one of the more difficult
skills a knight-aspirant must learn. These performers
have to coordinate reflexes and movement to keep the fights
both exciting as well as safe. Hand-to-hand combat is
exceptionally fast and the weapons leave little room for
error.
The Lance, Mace, Sword, Alabarda (cross between
axe and spear) and Bola (spiked ball) are the types of
weapons used in medieval times. Tournament winners are
not decided beforehand or in an artificial manner-sheer
skills wins. You will be transported back to a time when
men fought with valor for the glory of the Kingdom.

Horses
clash at over 35 mph during a joust. The horses are as
well trained as their mounts. They excel in medieval maneuvers.
The owners of Medieval Times have a ranch in Sanger, Texas,
spread over more than 200 acres.
Special horses breeds
are reared here. Buy Medieval Times Tickets and
enjoy. The horses have excellent physiques and
temperaments to match.
The
show has run everyday since it opened in 1983, except
for a day in 1999 when a hurricane hit the site. |
The castle
has a brick front and a moat. There is also a village
where you can sample 11th century life. The site is easily
accessible from Orlando.
Your
medieval experience will be incomplete without food. Dinner
is served in the medieval fashion on long tables and the
Bill of Fare includes vegetable soup with garlic bread;
roast chicken, spare ribs, herb potatoes, castle pastry
and beverage. We have a large collection for Medieval
Times Tickets Online.
The
Gift Shop has costumes, jewelry, toys, weapons, collectibles
and glassware. You can shop on-line or at the site.
Experience
the romance and gallantry of another age-come to Medieval
Times.
