Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live
What’s going on, Internet? On Saturday my son and I headed to Eden Park to check out the Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live show . This was a special outing with him as a congratulations for persevering through stopping sucking his thumb. He worked really hard, and my wife and I are super proud of him. The event page described the show as having a “Glow n Fire” theme. No idea what that meant or how it translated to what we saw. There wasn’t much glow, and only a little fire. Looking at the site afterwards, it seems the full experience happens at night, with trucks lit up in neon and motocross bikes joining in. That might explain the huge amounts of downtime during the day show. At times there were several monster trucks just parked at the edge of the track, not doing much. About 40 minutes in there was a 30-minute stretch with nothing happening, and you could see kids all around the stadium getting restless. Oh well, the kid enjoyed it. When the monster trucks were racing, jumping, and crushing cars, it was great fun. Just not a lot of it. And wow, it was loud. I’m so glad I brought the kids’ earmuffs and my earplugs. We left early once he’d had enough, a lot was going on. He was pretty stoked to realise he could still hear the trucks roaring from outside the stadium on our walk home. Would I go again? Nah.
