Moreover, he is portrayed as a knight who wants to kill all those he defeats, instead of merely injuring them- evil, right?. I couldn't believe it as it was unfolding before my eyes, but instead of demonizing a knight like the black knight, as in the old storyline, (one who had no audience cheering section), the new story demonizes one of the knights of the realm- in our case, our own red & yellow knight, by having him defy & insult the queen because she's a woman on the throne (see what I mean by "yes, this storyline went there") & his comments stated such. This is where the storyline brings all your excitement crashing down & leaves you utterly disappointed, empty & cheated, especially if your knight is the one chosen to carry out the "bad guy" storyline. Mind you, I'm a female writing this, but am so sick & tired of this being shoved down our throats- & yes, this storyline went there. With the new storyline, a queen has now taken the throne, & to that, I was wondering if it was going to be a message of being "politically correct," & sadly, it was. *Warning: spoilers ahead* The old show consisted of a threat, a dark knight (black knight as they called him) & the goal was to eventually eliminate him, once a victor knight rises through competition, challenges & such. She didn't care whatsoever, so it was discouraging for us audience members that wanted to get into character & play along, especially for the sake of our children. They could have replaced it with something chocolaty, at least! Next, The Service: our wench was completely out of character. The Menu: They took out the spare rib & replaced it with corn- boo! Secondly, they replaced the apple pastry with lemon pound cake- yuck! After they brought out the cake, my daughter asked "where's the dessert?", to which I replied,"that was it", & my daughter then replied with a quivering "Whhhhaaattt?". So, let me get to the little things first. It's been a few years since we last came to medieval times (Schaumburg) & wanted to come back when our children were old enough to understand the story- our kids are 5, 7 & 8 now. A few other disappointing aspects to this visit, as well, so I'll get to that first. always such a good time whether your knight wins or loses, but the new story plot has completely changed our minds & we won't be coming back unless it changes again. We used to love coming to Medieval Times.
