Knight Riders

This spring, Jersey knights are full of excitement and thrills.

One unusual and extravagant show in North Jersey is getting even more unusual and extravagant. The Medieval Times Castle in Lyndhurst has revamped its two hour production to refine and improve the performance and the audience experience.

If you’ve never been, the Castle show is a blend of jousting and drama, with beautiful Andalusian horses — specially bred equestrian athletes — bearing  their colorful knights into mock conflict.

The idea is to cheer your favorite Lancelot, while you feast on roast chicken and various side dishes. There is also a bar for adults. And ladies can always duck out of the Saturday matinee to shop the Theory clothing outlet one door down.

NJ My Way videographer Mark Brodie took in last week’s media preview, and gave the show two thumbs up.  He says they’ve given the place a royal facelift, and the new staging is full of fancy effects.

For more knight moves, head to Six Flags Great Adventure.

Beginning mid-May, timed to partly coincide with this summer’s latest Batman movie, the new Dark Knight Coaster is opening. It’s billed as a “demented hallway of twists, turns, and hallucinatory images” where riders are pursued by the evil Joker, and saved by the benevolent Batman. 

Or, drop off the kids and you’ll find your cheap thrills at nearby Jackson Premium Outlets. 

Enjoy the shows/ride/shopping. Make it a knight to remember!
