Below, 1,000 privileged royal guests are transported from faraway lands to a romantic snowy rendezvous in the woods to an authentic Medieval tournament—with the help of Hollywood caliber special effects, … More of course. In fact, each castle employs dozens of staff dedicated to managing the complex lighting, sound and visual effects that go into each performance.
