Tournament of Kings
An interview with F and J...
What is Tournament of Kings?
F: Tournament of Kings is a knight show, where, depending on your seating, you get a specific king to cheer for in the tournament. The tournament consists of multiple different challenges involving jousting, single combat and riding down the length of the arena cutting the heads off mannequins.
Which countries' kings were there?
J: There was Ireland, Romania, Norway, France, Austria, Spain and Dragon. But Dragon didn't really have a king because they were the evil ones that attacked the kings.
Which king were we cheering for?
F: Norway.
And how did we cheer?
F: Loudly, with our hands in the air.
What happened at the start?
F: There was a meeting at the round table for the kings, and Merlin being hilarious and stirring up the crowd.
What was the tournament like?
J: Good. Very good. Very good indeed.
F: Awesome and funny and breathtaking and riveting.
Who won the tournament, and how?
F: No one did. The tournament got interrupted by the evil dragon knights and Mordred. Prince Christopher fought them off, so I guess technically he won.
J: Even though he wasn't part of the tournament.
What kind of special effects or stunts were there?
F: There was big loud bangs from cannons firing. There was smoke. There was fire coming out of the ground. A sword caught on fire. There were people swinging off ropes. And people in hand-to-hand combat... when a person pretended to hit someone, they acted like they had been hit.
Did they feed us?
J: Yes. They gave us quail, corn, some very tasty bread and potatoes. And apple pie for dessert.
What did you think of the food?
F: It was yummy.
J: Very yummy apart from the potatoes.
How did we get our tickets?
F: Well... we were going through a casino and this over-friendly person met us, and they brought us to a desk, and the person at the desk said he could get us really really cheap tickets to Tournament of Kings if we'd go to a timeshare presentation. Now, Mum and Dad have had some experience with timeshare presentations. So we had a plan. Get in, listen to the idiots talk, get the tickets and get out. The idiots were actually quite... what's the word... persuasive, but we did not give in. We are an iron fortress. NO ONE MAY PENETRATE OUR WALLS OF DOOM. (They did offer us video games if we bought a timeshare. That was also quite persuasive.)
Who would enjoy Tournament of Kings?
F: Anyone who likes knights, or battles, or knights and battles, or magic.
J: People that like knights and fights and very talented actors.
