Medieval Faire (Canada's Wonderland)

As such, early attractions created under Kings Entertainment Company were named after knights, Don Quixote, Vikings, dragons, bats, and beasts.

The introduction of the Leviathan roller coaster to Medieval Faire in 2012 was the first major investment in the section since 2000; the park is now under ownership of Six Flags.

The section includes four roller coasters (The Bat, Dragon Fyre, Leviathan, and Wilde Beast) and six other rides.

Two entertainment areas have remained constant in the section, a proscenium theatre and a stunt and acrobatic space surrounded by water.

The names and facades of the two primary food locations found in the area however are medieval-themed (All's Well Hall & Kings Feast).

A 1979 planning document describes the section: "A trip into the Middle Ages is in store for those visiting this area of Canada's Wonderland.

Rides, restaurants, boutiques and the 1,200 seat air-conditioned Heritage Theatre where live shows are performed daily, await our guests in the Medieval Faire.

Artist and inventor Bill Lishman created two sculptures for this section of the park, as well as some smaller works for application to the buildings.

Publicist Mike Filey told the press that many were confused by the doors, or even where washrooms were, and this was to be fixed for the second park season.

The names include: In addition to the above changes, the restaurant Thrill Burger was renamed King's Feast for the 2019 season.

)[6] In May 1981, Canada's Wonderland Director of Rides and Ground Services Jim Wilson told the Toronto Star that Wilde Beast (along with two of the other original coasters at the park, Scooby's Ghoster Coaster, and the Mighty Canadian Minebuster) was wooden thanks to the apparent popularity of different styles of rides.

"Experiments" found that steel coasters weren't as popular or enjoyable to the public, "the sound and feel all contribute to the thrill of the ride.

"[7] Early promotion for Dragon Fyre highlighted all the safety measures, from an indirect reference to centrifugal force to x-raying welds.

After an opening medley, a fantasy segment features "On the Good Ship Lollipop", "Yellow Submarine", "The Candy Man", and "Be a Clown".

[2] Later stage shows included Those Magnificent Movies,[25] Fantasy,[26] Superstars,[27] Hot Ice,[28] and School of Rock: Live in Concert.

[32][33] The first production included Scooby-Doo and outfits like s'mores,[31] while Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Lucy and Linus appeared in sequences of the latter.

[37] Jersey Boys choreographer Sergio Trujillo,[40] television actor Matt Austin, and stage actress Erica Peck among them.

Described in the Guidebook, the "melodramatic stunt spectacular" was set on a "privateer ship" called the Sea Sceptre.

Pirate Captain Evil Medieval and Billy's mother, played by a teenaged boy, were the two other primary characters.

[45] In conjunction with the park's Celebration Canada 150 event, the show was rethemed and renamed to "The Flying Frontenacs", giving it a more Canadian theme.

[1] In the park's opening season guidebook, the facility is listed as selling "bratwurst, sausages, beef and mushroom pie, smoked sausage, grilled frankfurter, sauerkraut, mashed potatoes, soft pretzels, pastries, with beer, wine, coffee, tea, milk, and soft drinks.

"[46] All's Well Hall currently serves pub faire, including gourmet sliders, artisan flat bread pizza, fish and chips, nachos, wings, salads and other options.

[47] All's Well Hall has served a Mortal Meal, along with the Backlot Cafe elsewhere in the park, during Halloween Haunt in recent seasons.

The store is now known as Jester's Courtyard (previously the Fun Shoppe),[49] with the generically named Medieval Funnel Cakes.

[51] A truck positioned outside the Flight Deck roller coaster in Action Zone was rethemed and moved to Medieval Faire.

Occasionally, other events are held at the Courtyard: in June 1998, the section hosted Alligators Alive!, an educational show about the Floridian animals.
