Before Monster Jam hits Orlando I wanted to pass along what a GREAT time I had in Tampa at the event this past Saturday! I had never been to a Monster Jam and really did not know what to expect. After the first 5 minutes I knew that this would be something that I will do for many years to come!! First off, if you have never seen a Monster Truck in person I have some great opportunities for you! Some of the stars of Monster Jam will be around Orlando this week before the big event! Four of the show’s biggest stars, the giant monster trucks from Monster Jam, will be on display in Orlando this week. For fans, it’s a chance to see and take pictures with the enormous trucks and meet the drivers, before these beasts roar in to the newly renovated Orlando Citrus Bowl Stadium on Saturday, January 24. Best part, it’s all free to the public.
Typically 12 feet tall and about 12 feet wide, Monster Jam monster trucks weigh 10-12,000 pounds each. The trucks’ tires are 66 inches high and 43 inches wide. They will be on display Thursday, January 22 and Friday, January 23 for fans to stop by, check out the trucks and talk to their drivers, at these times and locations:

With that, I also wanted to share my experiences at the event in Tampa. Before the event, I attended the Pit Party which allowed me to see all the trucks up close as well as to talk to some of the drivers. There were also some BMX stunt team, games, food and a ton more! After the event, we went into the arena to watch the actual event which included the obstacle course and the freestyle! (Freestyle was my favorite!) Here are some of the pictures from the event!!!
