Title: MIRF changes?
Post by: groomporter on July 24, 2022, 11:22:25 AM
Word is they did not renew the contract with the jousting troupe in favor of a less expensive troupe and that the queen is not going to be back. Sounds like they are going to have a fictional king & queen like at MNRF?

Visited last weekend. Yes, fantasy based storyline, 4 kingdoms deciding who should rule, magic acknowledged. The Actress who played Queen Elizabeth for over 2 decades did not return, but the jousters did regain their contract. A whole row of food vendors were abandoned, and day 2 the port a potties were disgusting. Many acts did not return, and the locals don't seem too thrilled with the changes.
