If you bought tickets to ride "in a monster truck" thinking you'd maybe be in the crew-cab part with the driver, experiencing what its like in a "REAL MONSTER TRUCK" (their words) you would be sorely mistaken. When I say "in monster trucks" it was actually one truck with a rack of seats built into where the bed would be. There was music playing over the speakers and we could watch people going for rides in the monster trucks. They announced they were going to delay 15 minutes because there was still a lineup down the highway. We did bring ear plugs just in case but that doesn't help when sitting 15 feet away.Īs I said before, because of the parking gong show, the show was late. Further, we expected to be 100 feet from the trucks, not 15. They later demonstrated the remote immobilizers for safety but immobilizers won't stop momentum, jackasses. Even arriving 30 minutes early, the only spot we could get for 2 adults and 3 kids was the very front row, about 15 feet from the track with nothing but a concrete block and a crappy rented construction fence in between us and the trucks. The photos advertised monster trucks jumping over cool obstacles in a big arena, the first ten rows blocked off for safety.Ī line of 10 porta potties, 3 or 4 chip trucks with at least 40 people in line for each and rented aluminum bleachers on either side of a makeshift dirt arena formed by 2 foot high concrete blocks. This was NOT what was advertised in photos. We follow the line back to a dirt patch hidden in the woods. But they're not heading in to the grandstand, they're walking back to the woods. Further, if you actually parked at the casino you would be towed- we were funneled to park in the grass beside the casino grounds.Īfter parking, we follow the line of people heading in. This surprise fee caused backups for payment processing which caused lines down the road, which caused the show to be delayed. There is already a line backed down the road because they decided to steal an extra $10 from everyone for a "parking fee" for a show we already paid for. We drive an hour and a half to get there, and we do arrive about half hour before the show. My girlfriend had gotten an email the day before giving everyone a heads up to arrive early because it will be a busy day. The event is advertised as being at the Rideau Carleton Casino and Racetrack, a big racetrack with grandstand seating at a casino. They were talking about it for weeks before hand. Having him together, and each having a daughter previously, it's hard to find time to get everyone together and do something as a family so we were SUPER excited for this, I mean how fun for the kids. My girlfriend booked tickets for Wadded Up Monster Trucks in Ottawa because out littlest LOVES monster trucks. I made this subreddit and this post because there is nowhere to see an actual review of this show.
