Medieval Times New Show: Queen in Atlanta Takes The Reign + Giveaway

Experience North America’s most popular dinner attraction, Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament. This year is the year of the woman and Medieval, introducing its first-ever female-led show. The live dining and entertainment show, which brings the medieval era to the 21st century, today announced the impending arrival of a Queen in Atlanta, who will serve as the sole ruler of the land with the passing of her father, the previous king. This is the fourth show to debut at the Atlanta Castle, since its gates opened in 2006 and the first with a female lead.

Medieval Times announced the new queen-led show in 2017, marking a major break from a 34-year long tradition of casting
a king as the lead role. The show has made its way throughout eight castles in the U.S. and Canada. Atlanta will be its last stop
and final hurrah.

Fun Facts:

All Knights begin their training as Squires – just as they did in the Middle Ages – learning horse care, sword fighting, and weaponry. It takes a minimum of six months of training to become a Knight.
Knights perform with real metal weapons and wear authentic armor. During battle scenes, real titanium swords create sparks.
Every shield must be repainted after every show.
When jousting, the Knights charge at speeds of approximately 15 to 20 miles per hour and reach an impact velocity speed of about 30 to 40 miles per hour.
Each year, 25 foals are born at Chapel Creek Ranch, where they spend two years training.
