* DuelingWorks: The Buena Park location competes with the ''Tournament of Kings'' DinnerTheatre located in the Excalibur hotel in Las Vegas. ''Tournament of Kings'''s show, unlike ''Medieval Times'', is loosely based on [[Myth/ArthurianLegend King Arthur]] and has a larger cast. It has seven competing knights who hail from countries (including an all-round TokenEvilTeammate) instead of six from neighboring kingdoms. They also [[CrowdSong sing together.]]
