ORLANDO, Fla. (Aug. 24, 2012) – Until Sept. 16, Florida residents will receive discounted admission at Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament, North America’s longest running dinner attraction.  Tickets are just $33.95 for adults and $29.95 for children 12 years old and under. Children under the age of three who can sit in a parent’s lap are free.

 “Florida residents have been a part of Medieval Times success for almost 30 years, so we are pleased to offer them these special admission prices, especially now that they can experience our new show, which debuted this summer.” said Medieval Times Florida Castle’s General Manager Jose Lopez.  

The new show, Medieval Times’ first since 2007, features more rivalry and revelry than ever before. The updated show offers many new elements while retaining some of the most popular traditions. The live show still features two- and four-legged performers (knights and horses) with a utensil-free meal served in a castle-inspired arena.

Guests participating in the Florida Residents Savings Special should be prepared to present a valid Florida Drivers License at the door.

More About The New Show

Almost two years in the making, the new live production presents even more audience favorites such as live jousting, sword fights, horsemanship and falconry. Guests are taken back in time and encouraged to cheer for one of six “Knights of the Realm.” In addition to a new story, the production includes new lighting, choreography and battle scenes, costumes, new horse dressage elements, and a new musical score custom created for Medieval Times and recorded in Kiev, Ukraine.

“In a sense, we went back to the basics,” said Leigh Cordner, Medieval Times creative director. “Guests will see a celebration of the horses along with more action and elements of high drama. The streamlined plot allows more concentration on the action.

When we started to put pen to paper, we knew from the start we wanted to grab guests’ attention from the moment they take their seats. This led us to the creation of the opening moment, when Liberty Horse enters the arena.”

With authentic weaponry and enhanced armor, the new production presents non-stop action timed to the tempo of the music. And while there’s still a general theme of “good versus evil” throughout the show, guests will see much more of what they like most about the show – fight scenes that maintain the highest quality and safety standards.

The Feast

Florida residents will enjoy an upgraded menu for the utensil-free meal during the new show.  The menu includes:

·        Tomato Bisque

·        Garlic Bread

·        Oven Roasted Chicken

·        Larger BBQ Spare Rib

·        Herb-Basted Potato Split into Quarters

·        Braided Apple Strudel

·        Larger Beverage Servings and Coffee
