General The optional perimeter attractions at the event may attract queues and ALL are chargeable. Dogs (other than assistance dogs) are not permitted. Monsterslam is not a seated event. This is a hugely popular summer event and queues for some attractions, especially the Mini Monster Trucks and Extreme Express Monster Truck Ride are to be expected, just as you would expect queues at any popular theme park rides or attractions during the summer period. Mini Monster Trucks cost £8 per child or £10 for one child sitting with one adult. (price correct at time of writing).

All of the performances take place with very large Monster Trucks and motorbikes that jump 30ft+ into the air and often, to get a better view, you may be better placed standing further back from the arena if there are people directly in front of you. Visibility complaints will not be upheld as at all previous shows we have patrolled and monitored visibility within the event and performances can be seen by either moving to a more suitable position or standing further back.
