I haven't been since I was 11 - what's it like as an adult? Do they have beer?
-
sir, they have GROG
or if you're a total sissy, mead
-
They should serve chickens impaled on a sword at these things. That might get me to go.
-
Have always hated theme parks and anything vaguely reminiscent of one, even as a kid
-
:o Lucky!
-
i went years ago
they only give you one refill on your drink
also, i went to buy a beer and the dude told me it cost five-and-fifty of the king's dubloons or some such shit
everyone talks like a fucking distinguished mentally-challenged fellow, you can't get them to break character, yet they take check cards
hurrah for the middle ages
-
It's fun to go as a good, but I don't think it would really be all that great as an adult.
Aside from the Medieval Torture Devices Museum.

Party pooper total

he asked for the adult experience, and that's about it

Maybe Patel is a kid at heart. I dont want to grow up~ Toys R Us kid~
-
Mead is the worst fucking drink on Earth. If you drink it, shoot yourself.
it's like having a cat with a bladder infection urinate honey into your mouth
-
eh, the show might not be as cool as it would be if you were a kid, but its still fun.

Sounds good to me!

Eel didn't even touch on the actual performance and it still sounds pretty awesome.
-
Does the entry fee include a meal? Medieval stuff is awesome. I hope they sell chastity belts at the gift store.

You pay a decent amount and that gets u in and a meal while the performance goes on. You'll be seated depending on when and package you ordered. The King will at times ask for crowd participation. The dungeon/torture walk will be extra. Overall its a fun experience, adult or not.
At the Medieval Times in north GA, when I and a friend went, the king actually told us to get the food out of our mouths and respond, lol.
-
How is the food? Do you get giant haunches of meat and shit? Are there any barely-clothed wenches?

The one I went to the wenches were dressed in sorta simplish dresses that looked medieval. They wore colors based on what section they served during the show. There was a princess in a princessy dress. They would talk to you in character. The food i got was pretty good.
We got a haunch of chicken, a thing of spare ribs, garlic bread, served old style, a tomato soup in a bowl that u drunk, and an herb baked potato that i wanted the recipe for. And u get 2 rounds of drink, which they did offer sweet tea in the one in GA.
but u ate everything with ur hands. or drunk it from a bowl.
all that over about 1.5-2 hours as the performance goes on before you.

Anyone here interested can go here to find the answer to questions they may have.

How'd it go?
-
the red knight won, he was totally gay
I had two cups of beer that were hellaciously overpriced but not that bad
the princess had the worst valley girl/faux British hybrid accent
the evil Green knight waas awesome though, he was bald and scowling all the time and someone from our group developed a personal rivalry with him from the crowd based on hand gestures and intense staring
the food is hilariously mediocre, and no utensils
overall, fun to go if someone else is paying but not really worth your own money

I made some mead, tastes like wine without tannins i.e. good.
-
in all fairness to to the fake dorky camelot which serves ribs and calls them dragon claws, my experience was colored by the fact that a) i was already sort of drunk when we got there and b) everyone had outvoted me on going to the wild west themed dinner theatre (i still think being served fountain soda by old-timey prostitutes > medieval maidens)
-
Mead the drink of Vikings!
-
I want to try mead, but then I realize that thousands of years later people are still drinking wine and beer cuz it's good, but not mead. Makes me think that perhaps they're on to something....

grain and grapes are cheap. mead comes from honey which is expensive.
-
why is mead made out of honey? Doesn't all the sugar get fermented anyways?
-
I'm going to assume you're asking the smart question. There is still some residual sugars left, since the yeast can not convert it or the yeast conks itself out after it's alchol tolerance has been meet still leaving some fermentable sugars.
-
Drink beer instead!
-
No no, I asked the stupid question. I didn't think the yeast would stop until the glucose was pretty much finished. As far as natural sweetness goes, it doesn't sound like there's any real difference between honey and plant matter.
-
Vikings were also foul smelling rapists :wag
mead is awful, mamacmint. People who drink it are larpers, or worse.
...there's something worse than larpers? One of my ex roomies used to larp, but I hear he gave it up to marry a mormon chick.
-

Someone say the joke for me PLEASE
-

I just assumed that just like honey doesn't taste identical to a heavy syrup, once all the sugar gets used up there'd still be traces of the honey flavor.
-
Demi shying from a joke :o
I just want to know if anyone matches my excellent wit
-
What I'm trying to say is Vikings are black people!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was all about sitting in the Green Knight's section when I was a kid. Everyone hated you and you hated all them for being carebears that supported knights that had allies. THE CHEESE STANDS ALONE.

Do they serve mutton?

I've only ever heard of them serving chicken, and sometimes ribs :-\

You say that like it's a bad thing? :wag
-
I can't say I really have that many fetishes, but busty wenches has to be one of them. Hopefully it at least delivers on that front.

There were actually. Like some mermaid girls wearing shells, busty serving wenches, faerie girls, and the like.
But there were also people who should never EVER wear so little clothes in public and yet chose to do so on this day. It was somewhat horrifying.
-
I haven't been to Medieval Times, but I have been to Dixie Stampede (the western themed one). I just remember watching my parents and their friends getting drunk and embarrassed in crowd participation games for my enjoyment.

my wife drags me to the local area renfair once a year and this is easily the worst part of the whole ordeal. wish they would do the thing in winter, lol.
-
plus in winter the cold air would mask the smell of patchouli oil and unshaven fempits
-
Yeah, I have a MAJOR chicks-in-costume fetish, but when you go to con's and renfaires and stuff, you unfortunately have to put up with the fatties-in-too-tight-clothing a bit too much.
Can't say I mind unshaven fempits though... since if they don't shave their armpits, who knows what else they don't shave? :o :o :o
-
I saw a cute elven warrior chick the other day. :heart

I hope you get a lance through the heart you fucking prick.
yeah... this is why you're not well liked.

Internet drama just got real.

I actually kind of laughed at this - the visual image of him yelling this at his computer monitor to Fallout Boy in the background is too much.

Edited for accuracy.

Fuck off, Triumph. You are a disgrace to the insulting wonderdog, all cheaters, and every single game involving cards.

Everybody ease up on Shin, OK? He's just having a hard time coping with the loss of his rabbit.

They served Patel.
buh-dump-dump, rimshot.
Also, why didn't anyone at Bandai figure out that this Gundam icon looks like a snail?

:lol
Now I can't unsee it.
-
Anyway, jousting would be really fucking cool. I was watching Excalibur the other day, and it made me wish I had lived back then, although I'd have probably been a peasant like 99% of the population.
Probably dead too. (Not being specific with that... most folks died back then. In not nice ways, either.)
-
I've always seen the snail in distantmantra's avatar. :lol Thought it was sorta odd but hey wacky jappy and what not, figured that's what they were going for.
-
I thought it was just a snail.
