Review of RA Monster Events

The queue was ridiculous for monster truck ride ( we queued 3 hours) for a 3 minute ride. Whilst the ride was a lot of fun, I think they should have done timed entry into the fair to control the crowds

Review of RA Monster Events

Absolute waste of money. One show every 2 hours that lasted 6 mins. Disgusting

Review of RA Monster Events

Really excited to attend but was let down to be honest. 2 monster trucks doing rides at £10 a ride, the queue was incredibly long. Spent an hour queuing up but that was good. The actual "show" was poor! A truck going round in a circle and going over 4 cars, round the circle again and doing it again. Five times....that was the monster truck show. 2 hours later the bikes came out, was ok but nothing to write home about. Loads of food vendors and fairground rides oh and £10 to park in a sodden field

Review of RA Monster Events

No one checked the tickets coming in. What did I pay £55 for? You had to pay for everything inside. Not to mention queue 3 hrs and pay £10 each for a 2 minute ride on the monster truck. The 'show' was a mobster truck climbing over the same crumpled cars 5 times in a row. Madness! What a waste of money

Review of RA Monster Events

Good event but as usual were high for rides and stalls

Review of RA Monster Events

Badly organised. Adults fighting over dodgem availability. Lack of things to do between shows and shows themselves were very basic and involving one monster truck. Wish I hadn't bothered. Could have been so much better. Go of you like queues and waiting around in a field.

There were no programmes to tell you when the monster trucks were scheduled on (so lots of hanging around) and when eventually on only one truck doing same stunt over and over again.

Review of RA Monster Events

We went on Saturday.
I'm heavily pregnant (9months) and also recovering from back surgery when asking if we could park at the front of the field rather than down the back end we was told "pregnancy isn't a disability " by the very rude abrupt security guard. WOW! No it's not a permanent disability because it's a short term thing and eventually the pain in my back, legs, uterus and lady bits will go away but a little compassion never goes amiss! After a debate and having to plead my case that I am also recovering from surgery as well as being pregnant the security reluctantly let us park where I wouldn't have to trek and be exhausted before even entering the show. The field was still hard work in my condition but I went for my son and to see the look on his little face when he saw all the "big trucks" we got there just before 12 so was ready for the first show, that was disappointing! 1 truck riding round, lots of delay and standing around as they had to refuel, kids got bored and wanted to go on the rides instead. Could barely hear the speaker and what was being said but hey we're here let's enjoy it. The kids went on the bouncy castles which was a free for all, far too busy, not controlled and as they were little were being knocked about so much so that after 5 minutes my son wanted to get off, another waste of money. The ques for food and drink were far too long, very understaffed for such a busy event, bins overflowing as the food trucks couldn't keep up and not many seating options. We stood near the bottom field for the second show with the bikes and you couldn't hear anything and could barely see anything either as all the stunts were being performed by the top of the field. Didn't bother attempting the ride on monster truck after hearing someone else had qued for an hour and a half. All in all a disappointing day

Review of RA Monster Events

Not a lot happening,long wait to a "stunt" bike rider go round and round cicuit then jump a very low ramp,then wait another 2 hours to see a truck ride over some alread flatened cars so boring.long queues for food,best thing was the kiddie rides except it was billed as a victorian fun fair.all in all not a great day out,and would not go again.

Review of RA Monster Events

Not much happening, long waits for performance and very repetitive

Review of RA Monster Events

Review of RA Monster Events

Food and rides very expensive, £5 for small chips. £5 for 10 minutes on the bouncy castles. The shows were good, ride in the monster truck was the best bit. Toilets absolutely disgusting, poo up the walls, urine everywhere. Rubbish everywhere! Won’t be going again!

Review of RA Monster Events

Very poorly organised. Expensive. Poor facilities.

Review of RA Monster Events

Overall very overpriced for what we saw! There was only 1 monster truck for the show and he kept doing the same stunt about 5 times. The shows were also way too spaced out and didn't even know there was a motorbike stuntman, which he was quite good actually but my lord, the other on the pink bike. Sorry to say but why were they even there?!
Queues for food I could understand about. The monster truck ride we didn't even bother to wait, it would have taken an hour at least to ride it.
I'm sorry to say I would not recommend or come back.

Review of RA Monster Events

No bar, huge food queues and a "show" only every two hours. We waited and no monster truck at the show we saw and just one guy on a dirt bike with another lady barely doing anything on a dirt bike. Miss advertised and a real disappointment.
