Row A Seats 1 and 2 for Team Dragon...\n\nIn a \"contest\" that is a fight between nations such as Spain, France, Denmark and Ireland... the moniker we were given lent itself to being the bad guy, which was confirmed by the lovely lady who was serving us our grog for the night.\n\nThis was my second trip (the first being almost 20 years ago) and the girlfriend's first. We were both pretty excited.\n\nEntering the theatre, you are immediately hit with the \"fresh\" scent of horse manure and dirt.. so I might imagine that could ruin the appetite of a few city dwellers.. but nonetheless we forged on to our seats.\n\nThe girlfriends was a little broken, with a slight lean forward to no doubt ensure she would be on the edge of her seat for the entire show.\n\nWe were offered a selection of pop (or Soda for the American readers) and were told that our drink orders (the keeper cups struck our souvenir fancy) would be taken a bit later. \n\nWe did each order a special challice with beer for me and a frozen treat for my girlfriend. Came out to be over 30 dollars for the two... *cringe* .. but it's.. about.. the experience... right?\n\nAnyways.. onwards and forwards.\n\nWe were served a meal (sans the cutlery because in the Medievil times, they didn't have it!) consisting of first \"soup\" which is just, and I swear it to be true.. the tomato broth from Alphagetti. Still delicious to me.. but high class it is not.\n\nThen came the main course of the night.. a cornish game hen, a baked potato and a broccoli tree.\n\nAll very well done, and was completely devoured. \n\nOne small risk for people seated in Row A is the dirt kicked up from the horses passing by that start about half way through your main meal. It didn't happen to us but it did happen to folks just down the way from us.. and I can't imagine wanting to finish the food after that myself.\n\nThe meal is caped off with a apple pastry of some sort. Kind of gets away from the theme if you ask me.. but not terrible.\n\nI know, I know, you're all clamoring for my opinion of the show.. well it was fun. A lot of fun. I won't go into detail so as to ruin the show.. but crowd participation just makes this show what it is.. If you are a curmudgeon, or a grumpy pants.. stay home! Let loose and just join in.. remember it's for the kids and make it fun for them.\n\nA little disappointing to only have had a small role for our team in the show.. but otherwise a great time all around.\n\nThe ONLY reason I knocked it down a star is based sheerly on price. To have charged so much for the show.. only have half filled stands.. and then to charge so much for drinks is just too much for this frugal laddies liking.
