Review of RA Monster Events
Was shocked at how underwhelming this was. Insanely long time before action by the Truck... was expecting more. Stalls etc there to entertain inbetween the 2hr+ wait but would be spending a fortune if stayed. Watched a 15min Truck performance (Which was okay but my son enjoyed which is main thing), then left... Was told as leaving "You leave, you don't come back..."

Review of RA Monster Events
We've paid for a monster truck experience apparently 1 show every 2 hours, no monster truck at 2 pm when we were there , we were told there might be one at 4. There was one monster truck visible parked onto a side Loads of people just a few food trucks the queues were massive .
They had a ride a monster truck experience again queue was a few hundred meters long. Very few kids rides and inflatables, over crowded , kids felt unsafe for how overcrowded it was.
kids needed to remove the shoes got feet all soaked and wet as they didn't have enough mats in front of inflatables and the ones they did were wet.
This was just a glorified ( small) funfair , under the pretense of a monster truck show.
No music rubbish atmosphere.
Most people were coming and leaving immediately, because of that and poor organization it took 40 min to leave the car park , more than we actually spent there. Complete waste of money.

Review of RA Monster Events
Our tickets were not even checked as we entered the event, nobody checked the parking ticket either. We paid £5 to go on the bumper car and that was an utter shambles. The guy running them was just expecting everyone to run to get a bumper car when the ride had finished and then shouting and swearing at customers when they complained there was no system and that they had been waiting for over 3+ turns of the bumper cars. I ended up selling our bumper car ticket to a lady in the queue after my son started crying as he was elbowed by another child getting in a bumper car. Considering the shows didn't provide much entertainment either expecting people to pay over the odds for fairground rides or queue for hours for food or the ride on monster truck is a liberty. I have requested a refund along with lots of other people.

Review of RA Monster Events
I paid over £50 for this event plus £6 parking and no one asked for tickets at any point, so I feel totally scammed. There would have been hundreds of people there that had not paid for any tickets and just showed up on the day.

Review of RA Monster Events
The show was very poor - 1 monster truck that did a 10 min show that consisted only of the truck driving over cars, 4 times. The venues good, food choices were good but wouldn't recommend

Review of RA Monster Events
Very disappointing day. I took my 3 boys to the monster truck show and what show??? There was no show.... One parked truck. Two trucks going round and round a field with passengers..... a whole bunch of over priced food stalls and funfair....... Thousands of people all saying the same thing.... Absolutely nothing happened

Review of RA Monster Events
The monster trucks were amazing. Great display jumping over cars. Queued nearly 3 hours to ride on the best purple truck which was exhilarating and so worth the wait. The bike display was ok but the driver's mike kept cutting out. He was good but I didn't like some of the comments he said about the female rider which were rather patronising. All in all a very entertaining day. Nice variety of food available and rides for young and old to go on.
